not before long, blizzard released the expansion for diablo 3, reaper of souls in gamescom exhibition. information about the new class, crusader is also published. from information on all sites, we get the main skills about this class. let's have a discussion about whether this class will be the best class in d3 then.
for now, we have already know that crusader's skills can be divided into six categories: primary, secondary, defensive skills, utility, laws and conviction. we have already know that his main skills are sweep attack, shield glare, jundgement, laws of justice, heaven's fury, consecration, shield bash, fist of the heavens, blessed shield, blessed hammer, falling sword, punish and so on.
known passive skills:
indestructible: you can get 1% armor by losing 5% life.
wrathful: when you success to block once, your fury regeneration increases by 5%. the effect last for 3 seconds.
heavenly strength: when your off-hand gear is shield, you can gear two-hand weapon as our main-hand gear. you lose 10% movement speed as a result.
hold your ground: block rate increases by 5%, your dodge rate decreases to 0.
against all odds: when you are surrounded by 4 enemies within 15 yards, your critical rate increases by 10%.
finery: whenever you set a gem of different color on your gears, your resistance to all elements increases by 34 coins. if you have five kinds of gems in total, your resistance increases extra 34 coins.
vigilant: increases your life regeneration speed(class of 32 level can get 42 life regeneration per second in the trial playing). life amount increases by 5% in total. it can also decrease physical damage by certain degree.
there are also passive skills such as wrecking ball, holy cause, long arm of the law and so on.
if you have played diablo 2 before, you must know it that this class is similar to paladin in diablo 2 by some degree. it is a class with shield. we can see it that he is not a great damage dealer. but diablo 3 surprises us a lot, it means that everything is possible still. from his skills, we can speculate that it is an assistant class which is more proper to play as tank. its high defense, low damage and great survival ability are still very attracting. since gear system 2.0 may lead to the weaken of current gears, class with high defense and great survival may be the new trend in diablo 3. don't you believe that gears will be weakened? just pay attention to the damage of the gears in the expansion which is up to hundreds, you will find it that your current gears are about to be so out. the new gears will change the status of the classes in d3.
