Apr 22, 2014mannercookie posted a message on Skills To Get Their Elemental Type Shifted, Legendary Sources and Mojos To Be Buffed, BoP Working As Intended, Condemn BuildThe 6 piece crusader set was basically blizzard's hotfix during the beta to make the Crusader a viable class for end-game before release.Posted in: News
There is build diversity, but yes it does require armor of akkhan if you are wanting to push to end-game content (Torment-6). For lower difficulties the Crusader is one of the most diverse class in the game currently since there are many weapons that you can literally build around.
It's not like any of the other classes aren't as gear intense as the Crusader to farm T6, your statement is basically true for all classes. -

perhaps he can explain to me what I'm doing wrong because I have much better gear overall from what I've seen from the video clip.

now compare the above to a condemn spec running T6 rifts

Apr 16, 2014mannercookie posted a message on Safe T6 Farming Guide, LastZoul's Maximus Holy Crusader Build, Show Off Your TransmogsOk just tested his exact build with better gear + 6 piece akarat's so that there is no down-time.Posted in: News
Couple points to why I don't believe this is T6 viable (compared to other builds I'm currently already running that are clearing at much faster speeds and I would consider T6 Viable)
- No mobility (it makes it really hard to take advantage of the pet proc when we have 0 mobility skills to maneuver and position outselves)
- Very low DPS output on single target
- The pet is the bulk of the damage in this build (spec isn't really in synergy), this pet also dies way too easily at T6 to elites/rift boss
- Judgetment makes no sense for such a wide AOE build that spams the entire map (judgetment only gives crit bonus for a 20 yard radius and if you notice in his video and I will post my highlight of testing later, a large portion of the attacks don't benefit from the spec)
I even tried a better variation of this build that improves it's damage significantly and it was much much slower than all the other T6 builds that I've tried.
The rift boss alone took over 6 minutes (extremely bad solo dps as mentioned above), even with good RNG and illusionist rift boss (most are not illusionist and are single target), it will still take over 3 minutes with optimal gear.
THIS isn't a TROLL. -

I'm about to test his exact build with much better gear and see if it works or not because I have all the pieces he mentioned in the video. Will report with results after.Quote from JustTryAnotherHaha, mannercookie, there is a video where it seems to do the job. Maybe the paragon level and gear also matter a lot in this case. What happened when you tried it? Was it just non-intuitive, weak, uninteresting or did you straight up die several times? We should get to the bottom of how, when and why builds work or don't work.

BUT based off the testing of my Crusader, I would not consider that to be a T6 efficient build. -

Please dig a little deeper, there are lots of quality content that needs attention because there are tons of misinformation surrounding the game right now for multiple classes. -
Mar 27, 2014mannercookie posted a message on Understanding The Truth Behind The "Damage" Tooltip On Items, Item Level Clarifications, CE's 4D Magicalthough you guys got the gist of it right about DMG modifiers not being included causing wrong % comparisons to show up, if you wanted to be really technical the problems of sheet DPS are much greater than simply the ignorance of damage affixes.Posted in: News

Just FYI
This video was made for people who have been watching my testing and covered topics that were asked numerous times throughout weeks.
If you did not understand nor enjoy the material, then that's fine.
I didn't ask Diablofans to put it on the front page, if you don't like the content and it's boring to you, move along and go on with your day.
pretty simple if you ask me

New Rolands set outperforms Akkhan by quite a large margin.
I was really hoping that they wouldn't go with their plan of adding stacking % dmg onto a shield but alas they did and well I don't want to say it's completely useless without trying, but it's probably completely useless.
The devs apparently want to create a play-style where you use Rolands in this exact fashion
- Sweep Attack for AOE
- Shield Bash for STD
My suggestion was to re-design golden fleanse to give a damage buff so it would be competitive with other Roland viable weapons (Blood Brothers/Furnace to name two).
Make the Sweep Attack shield unlock all Sweep Attack runes and re-design the last rune to be something along the lines of generate 5 wrath per attack and 2-3 additional per target hit.
The current last rune and lightning rune both do pretty much the exact same thing, one freezes 100% and the other stuns 50%.
They will never achieve what they want out of Rolands unless Sweep Attack is turned into a useful utility (unlock runes giving stun/gather/loh/wrath) with an AOE damage buff along the lines of what they did.
Otherwise it's always going to be superior to just go flat out Shield Bash.
But you know, maybe they'll play the set one day and realize that the way their itemization is currently setup for the Crusader class, it makes no sense to give up the shield slot and the weapon slot to make a useless skill do useless aoe damage.
