Multiboxing Crusaders

[Ualaa]

Thanks for sharing that.
Haven't really looked at keybinds/hot keys to use yet.

Just ran the is-boxer wizard and traded gear across some toons to give everyone some starting yellow/blue stuff.
That and read a lot of posts for D3 and watched some movies too.

Minor tweaks to my hotkeys:

I made the pull hotkey reset exploding palm/cyclone strike as well; since usually when I need to re-cyclone in mid-fight I also end up with a new monster in front of me.

Changed punish's do not advance to 0.5 seconds before switching to fissure for 4 seconds.

So far my biggest issue is my monk going splat. She's not as durable as the crusaders. But its' getting better (more frequent application of Inner Sanctuary helps). Dev, any advice on gearing out a ZDPS monk? I remember you posting about strongarm bracers and some other synergistic legendaries, but I can't find it off hand.

Pastebin of mapped keys is here if anyone wants to take a look, though I doubt it's worth copying and modifying to suit, probably faster to just make your own. I tend to create lots of keymaps; it helps me keep track of what the spam button is supposed to do.

I also have a global keymap you might find inspirational where I have the actual keybindings, a show/hide vfx keymap, and create minimap/health/resource viewers and sources. This is so I don't have to mess with viewers or keybinds whenever I make a new team.

I'm half afraid one of the ISBoxer guru's will come along and tell me I'm doing something the wrong way, or there's something in there that's horribly broken=p

My ZDPS monk has:

Helm: Aughild's
Shoulders: Aughild's
Amulet: Blackthorne's
Chest: Blackthorne's
Bracers: Strongarms
Gloves: Asheara's
Belt: Blackthorne's
Pants: Asheara's
Boots: Asheara's
Ring1: RoRG
Ring2: Anything with IAS and Crit
Weap1: The Fist of Az'Turrasq
Weap2: Sledge Fist or Azurewrath

All sockets with Diamonds, weapons with Amethysts. Skills:

I haven't added CDR to my items yet, but with 50% u have Inner Sanctuary every 4 secs which is very good. I will prolly ditch the 4 piece effect from Asheara's and Blackthorne's to add Captain's Belt + Pants. Inner Sanctuary + Laws of Justice Decaying Strenght should be enough to reduce all damage to a minimum.

Now, I didn't add Physical Damage to my items, but according to this thread and others in official forums, it does add damage to Exploding Palm explosion so I will change my items a bit. Maybe use a DoomBringer instead of the Sledge Fist and add diamonds to my weapons instead of amethysts. Also add some area damage somewhere.

I suppose you could combine Aughild's, BT, and captains. Might not be worth it though.

I swapped punish to consecration / shattered ground on round robin. My survivability went up. Or rather, the rate at which my monk goes splat was decreased.

4 crusaders. Blessed shield shattering rune thingy as my main attack (no generator) with shield of extra bounces
To supplement that I use two wrath generators provoke (charged up for some extra damage) and shield glare with wrath per mob rune.
For some extra dmg for elites I use heaven's fury and bombardment.
Last skill is AC with firestarter. When it stacks a few times on rift bosses they just melt away.

My Crusaders project is on standby for now since I'm back to WDs doing T6 easy mode. I'll post my build soon.

[Ishar]

Slightly off topic; but I got my 4th str/vit Cindercoat lastnight. So I'm thinking maybe leveling up some barbs; since the fire builds for 'saders are a bit overwhelming.

We seem to always cross post back and forth but Devile I'm interested on the WD build your using for T6. I did T4 after the patch which felt the same as T3, but I still felt somewhat weak.

*edit - I just saw a thread concerning this exact topic.. ignore.

Got a maximus; it revitalized my interest in Crusaders. So now I'm on a quest to get 3 more. [Seems like the Chains would have decent synergy with cyclone] Plus I think having 3 demons fire chained to my cluster of toons would just look awesome.

It would also be nice to get a fate of the fell / eberli charo to play around with.

Or heck, some more Foote's / Jenkaboards.

In other news, I went up to Torment 3 and seem to be doing it fairly comfortably.

grumble.

I have been looking for the Fate of the Fell as well, in that time I have 4 Maximus's and it's kind of hilarious with quad chains but I will note I don't play it effectively. Crusaders actually feel like a ranged class.
