Rally Reworked: Using Akarat's Champion reduces the remaining cooldown of your other abilities by 12 seconds

Jesus, so many Crusader changes Datamined, but probably still fairly valid:

• Heavenly Strength: No longer applies a speed penalty.
• Vigilant: Now 20% non-physical damage reduction.
• Holy Cause: Now works for any weapon damage type.
• Steed Charge: Duration 2 seconds, 3 with rune.
• Law CDs: Reduced from 45 to 30.

And they finally made a viable alternative to Heavenly Strength:

• Fervor: Now increases attack speed by 15% and reduces cooldowns by 15%.

Also seems like they're really pushing shield spec:

• Blessed Shield: Damage now 430% (up from 340%) and Shattering Throw run damage now 170% (up from 50%).
• Insurmountable: Now grants 6 Wrath on block instead.
• Towering Shield: Increases damage of Blessed Shield (and more) by 20% and reduces Shield Glare CD by 30% (probably beats Taunt for Wrath generation now).

Also buffs for almost all damage abilities across the board except Condemn.

In other words, they're buffing just about EVERYTHING I use - will probably swap out Condemn for Heaven's Fury with Ascendancy rune (2766% weapon damage, up from 1680% ). With the new Fervor talent it's even decent using Gyrfalcon's Foote over a 2-hander.

Stop crying Praxy, we're going to be OP (until they nerf Blessed Shield or Jekangboard at least)!

Oh wait,

Apparently the Blessed Shield rune Shattering Throw tooltip is bugged and should have been 333% instead of 50% - in other words, Blessed Shield AoE damage component is getting nerfed loads.

Still, it's a significant buff to my single target damage and most other abilities, so it might work out just fine regardless (and they might not nerf Blessed Shield/Jekangboard combo).

Back to t1 for me.

Ill boost you m8. or just reroll witch docter, big buddies too stronk.

Rip

I think they want more people using flails, since the only other unique usage bis seems to be crossbows, but does thunderfury still shit on everything though?

gonna multibox 4 wizards if my crusader sucks now.

This is how they ensure continued gameplay, constantly change up skills so you can never stop farming to complete your build.
