The Church of the All-Father has many servants, and just as the All-Father himself is a warrior as well as a creator, so the Church must defend its flocks as well as provide for them. A vast army stands ready to defend the Holy Church, the army of the Crusaders, holy warriors who know no fear. When the hordes of Chaos shook the World at the beginning of the War of the Scourge, Saint Adelmo the Patriarch called a mighty crusade against the unnatural invaders, and placed the All-Father's blessing upon any who would take up arms in the Church's defense. From that day to this, they have worn white for purity and blue for the All-Father's strength, as vast as the endless sky.

Overview

The Crusader is a powerhouse class that is second to none in melee damage. Their key power, and what fuels a Crusader during his slaughtering spree, is Battle Rage. Though their class powers are few, they have access to high-ranking powers for lots of different weapons, which vary their playstyle greatly. Crusader's can shrug off damage and crowd control effects while barrelling down on their target with a frightening tenacity.

Playstyle Tips

The two base classes for Crusaders have the same overall goal of staying within attack range of their target as long as possible; however, their methods of doing so vary drastically. The race of your character has a lot more weight for this class as the available races stats, powers, and disciplines can give additional utility or allow one to double-down on damage.

Fighter

  • Battle Rage's healing component gives it excellent tactical applications. Maybe it's best to use it early to burst down a high-priority target or maybe it's better to use it later in the fight for a second wind.
  • Auto-running when you attack someone will only move you to your weapon's max range. For moving targets, it is better to run next to them and then use the attack command. This gives your character more time to execute the attack animation.
  • Look through the weapon powers for Crusader's available weapons to figure out what kind of utility you want in a fight. Each weapon has different advantages and disadvantages.

Healer

  • Because of the defensive penalty for Battle Rage, this is one of the few Rogue-based prestige classes that it is recommended to not attempt a high defense build. Instead, focus on dodge and resistance enchantments.
  • Although you lack Black Mask, your damage is still far and away higher than any other Rogue. If you can get past their defense you should win most fights. Shout does not have a hitroll, so use that to negate passive defense on targets you are having issues attacking.
  • While Rogue Crusader's are mostly outclassed in large group fights by their fighter counterparts, they are very good in smallscale and solo PvP due to the mobility from invisibility
