Diablo 3 crusader phalanx build8/19/2023 ![]() Generally your rotation goes like this: walk in the middle and cast Phalanx + Judgment then go into the Oculus Ring and spam Smite until the yellow Bastions of Will buff is almost gone. You activate it only when you cast Phalanx and it has the same duration as the avatars so you can easily tell when it's time to resummon them. When you make a big enough pull and want to deal damage to it look at your yellow Bastions of Will buff. You need them to constantly refresh your Akarat's Champion so that you can use it to keep up your defensive buffs. It doesn't have to be a huge pull but they shouldn't just stand in empty space. Make sure that your Phalanx avatars are always hitting something. Finally Akarat's Champion Rally lets us easily reposition the avatars at any moment, meanwhile the toughness we lose from not running Prophet is compensated by 100% uptime on Iron Skin and Laws of Valor. ![]() We also use Bastions of Will and Aughild's Authority sets to get a consistent damage bonus. Each casts of Phalanx spawns 8 avatars in a ring around and each avatar applies Condemn to all enemies in small AoE 9 times over the next 5 seconds. ![]() Here we use Phalanx Shield Bearers to proc Condemn. Cain’s Destiny: For 25% more Greater Rift Keystone s.Sage’s Journey: For double Death’s Breath s.Gloves of Worship: For 10 Minute Shrine Buffs.Ring of Royal Grandeur: To complete our sets.Avarice Band: For the insane pickup radius.Nemesis Bracers: For extra Elites, Death’s Breath s and In-geom procs.The Flavor of Time: For double duration on Pylons.Intelligence > Vitality > Life % > Armor > All Resistance > Life Per Hit > Attack Speed. Stat Priorities:Since we do not have the immortality focus, we need to stack survivability on our Enchantress. This will give us Cooldown Reduction, Elemental Damage, Reduced Damage from Ranged Attacks, Armor, Attack Speed, and a Cheat Death. Since this is T16 content, she’ll stay alive with Esoteric Alteration and Mutilation Guard and use Hand of the Prophet to gain all skills. Followers never deal significant damage you’re on your own to clear the content.įor T16 we recommend this Enchantress setup because she is the only follower that gives Cooldown Reduction, allowing you to spam your abilities more.Cooldown Reduction does not work for any follower skill except the Templar’s Heal.Legendary gems do not work on followers, except Esoteric Alteration and Mutilation Guard.Followers share 20% of their Experience, Magic and Gold Find stats with you.Guardian's Jeopardy (3 ) Bonus works for followers by improving their inherent stat multiplier from x2.5 to x3.5, making it slightly easier to hit the 25,000 main stat threshold if needed.This means we stack Intelligence on the Enchantress, Dexterity on the Scoundrel and Strength on the Templar. Follower’s powers are based on their main stat (maxed at 25.000, but they have a 2.5x multiplier so you only need 10.000).The most important ones are: The Flavor of Time, Nemesis Bracers, Avarice Band, Sage’s Journey and Cain’s Destiny. The emanation system allows followers to share certain legendary and set powers with you.Ring of Royal Grandeur ( A1 Bounties, Cubed) In Greater Rifts speedfarming it loses to LoD Bombardment, while in T16 AoV Fist of the Heavens still reigns supreme. Overall, while the build was buffed by quite a few tiers and can now do everything decently well, it's only great for Solo Pushing. Of course, there's also some bad news: Condemn s triggered this way do not proc area damage, everything you are fighting will very quickly become CC-immune thanks to Judgment with all runes and no cooldown, and finally you are once again at the mercy of Pet AI (this seems to be a pattern with the buffs lately). With the new set you can trigger almost a hundred explosions per second! A huge increase compared to the measly 5-6 we could do before. The build now also includes Phalanx but the avatars themselves deal no damage, they are only here to proc Condemn s and reduce the cooldown on Akarat's Champion. Season 27 patch changed that with Akkhan rework, which made it into a set specifically focused on Condemn. Once the strongest in the game build for solo XP farming, for a long time it's been barely useful in T16, and even then, only if you have optimized gear and high Paragon. Akkhan Condemn Crusader is the build that has been around for the longest time, created with the introduction of Frydehr's Wrath in Season 1.
