I've been playing a bit more of Diablo 3 lately. I've been playing my regular Crusader and Wizard, rather than a seasonal character.
One thing I've found is that I'm not too happy with my Crusader. I cannot seem to find a build I enjoy. I'm currently running a 6-piece Akarat's Champion set with Blessed Hammer. It's good enough, but it's just not fun enough. It's a little hard to explain, but it doesn't really feel "melee" enough for me.
Meanwhile I'm running this Fire/Lightning Arcane Torrent with Hydras build on my Wizard and I find it hilarious. Stunning, fire, electricity, I really enjoy playing it, even if it's much lower power than my Crusader.
Any D3 players out there have suggestions for an interesting melee-ish Crusader build that's still reasonably effective? I did try a Thorns-build with the Invoker set, but this was before Blizzard revamped Thorns. I remember that it was decent, but annoying because I couldn't kill Treasure Goblins.
The Invoker's revamp is really satisfying and places you in melee range constantly as you use Punish to increase your attack speed. You can then easily upgrade to the Bombardment build as you gather Ancient items if you want to push really high Grifts! I recommend!
ReplyDeleteHmm, maybe I'll try Invokers, though I'll have to collect all the pieces again.
DeleteNew Invokers is strong as hell, but it is also a bit boring honestly. Run around, left click, let stuff hit you, rinse and repeat.
ReplyDeleteYeah, maybe I should just drop down a couple torment levels and experiment until I find a build and playstyle I like. Then find gear to match that build.
