Diablo Immortal: A Very Strong AoE & PvP Crusader
"Aura" Condemn Crusader Guide
This "Aura" Crusader is one of the strongest Crusader builds for AoE encounters like challenge dungeons, the open world, and terror rifts because of its very high AoE damage and strong single target damage. This build is tied for the best PvP Crusader build with the Sweep Attack Crusader which can also be found in the menu. With the recommended essences Judgment causes fire to rain down around you damaging nearby enemies, Condemn gives a lightning storm that follows you and damages nearby enemies, Shield Glare automatically attacks and blinds nearby enemies, and Draw and Quarter gives a mount for increased movement speed and a holy damage aura. Your damage over time effects will also be instantly triggered when using the Torrential Refrain offhand essence instead of just refreshing their duration when you hit them.

​
Best 1 Star Legendary Gems
1. Berserker's Eye (PvM) - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.
2. Misery Elixir - Great for this build to increase damage over time durations which are triggered instantly.
3. Entropic Well - A great one star legendary gem that increases your skill damage and increases your attack speed.
4. Everlasting Torment - A great budget option that deals damage over time on critical hits and increases your attack speed.

Note: Berserker's Eye and Misery Elixir are the most powerful one star gems for this build and should be replaced last.
​
Best Familiars
1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler with the Savior passive skill which provides a cheat death and temporary damage immunity. The 170+ Resilience on the familiar lowers the cooldown of Savior.
2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Look for Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.
3. Ash Sweeper - Ash Sweepers are strong, especially in PvP, because they damage nearby enemies and mark an enemy reducing their damage by 20% for 3 seconds. They can also have 170+ Resilience which reduces the cooldown of Savior.
4. Any Savior Familiar - You can use any familiar with Savior for a cheat death and great passive skills as an alternative.
5. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill because it gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice. Innervate gives a chance at resetting one of the player's skill cooldowns, Steel Hide gives a chance to block, Precision gives critical hit chance, and Tenacity lowers the cooldown of the Duskprowler shield which are also desirable.
Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.
​
Normal Gems
Prioritize Tourmalines for added DoT damage in red sockets and Citrines for potency to increase harmful effects durations in yellow sockets which are both important for this build. You can combine all of your bound Rubies which give life and use one in a red socket if it gives higher refinement. Refinement is determined by the quality of the gem and it increases the attributes of the gear the gem is socketed in. You can use one of your highest refinement Topazes for resistances early on but you will eventually want to make the switch to just Citrines for higher potency. The full duration of your damage over time will be instantly consumed on this build so potency is a major damage increase. You should also socket your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets.
​
Gem Notes
The new Fated Trail five star gem is a powerful legendary gem once you have ranked up five star gems because its damage is scaled off of your maximum life. The fairly new Haunt Coil five star gem can optionally be used for PvP to reduce your damage taken by up to 45% for a duration. The Blood Floe five star gem is a great option when it's combined with multiple sources of increased critical hit chance and critical hit damage. The Colossus Engine legendary gem is great for builds that need increased area of effect, gives knockback immunity, and increases your movement speed from its size increase. The Viper's Bite and Seeping Bile legendary gems aren't needed to trigger the damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem from there being continuous damage on the target because this build already has plenty of continuous damage. When using multiple increased critical hit chance legendary gems you should consider rolling increased critical hit damage on every piece of gear using Reforge Stones.​
