I got the crusaders to 70 last night, was able to immediately do Torment 1 with 150k dps per crusader.. the damage was insanely low but was able to sit there and tank. 3 Rifts lately, hovering at about 400k dps each and really enjoying the change of pace.
I'm probably going to drop the Steed skill for more utility - it's quite fun but is only useful getting pack to pack.
