![]() ![]() It has a suction range much larger than the 15 yard explosion area – I’d say it’s easily 25 yards – and you’ll see it draw enemies both large and small, which makes it one of the more reliable displacement skills in Diablo. It lacks the problematic targeting of the other runes and since it shares the physical element of Pound (a stronger single-target rune), you don’t need to re-gear and can easily switch between the two right before the Rift Guardian, like I’ll do in the demonstration.Ĭondemn with Vacuum is the second damage dealer of the build, but it doesn’t fit the elemental bonuses of the gear and I’m using it mostly as a utility spell that draws enemies towards me and makes them ripe targets for my Shield Crosses. I think Shield Cross is the most reliable of all 5 Shield Bash runes. On top of that, it erupts into a large, cross-like formation for additional 155% weapon damage and 100% of the shield’s Block chance as damage on any enemy caught within the area of effect. It delivers a massive blow of 700% weapon damage plus 300% of the shield’s Block chance as damage. Shield Bash with Shield Cross is going to be the primary damage dealer of the build. ![]() It’s capable of a lot even now! THE BUILD So if Shield Bash gets improved even further, it’s going to be a strong contestant for a top spot in the Crusader build variety. In my opinion the skill is already strong, the numbers are big enough for Torment VI, and mostly things like the hitbox and wind up animation should be looked over. Besides, Travis Day (lead game designer of Reaper of Souls) said himself, that Shield Bash is an important part of the Crusader fantasy and that the Diablo team is looking into improving the skill. As former Rally-based Crusaders know well, no build lasts forever at the top, and it’s important to have other ideas beside Holy Shotgun and Fire Starter. It’s a good time to talk about a Shield Bash build. ![]() "What is a better weapon? The sharp one your enemies expect, or the blunt one they ignore?" - The Art of Warrior, Chapter 9 ![]()
