Diablo Immortal: The Best Speed Farming Crusader

Sweep Attack Crusader Guide

 

The Sweep Attack Crusader with Sacred Fire, Condemn, Judgment, and Draw and Quarter is the highest damage AoE Crusader build and it also has great mobility for speed farming content. It is, however, recommended as a PvM only build and it's not meant for PvP. If you are looking for a high damage PvP build you can also check out the Sacred Fire Primary Crusader build in the menu (you can switch between builds at your armory anytime you wish). With the recommended legendary items Sweep Attack makes your primary attacks (including primary attacks on your horse) sweep in arcs to deal area damage, Draw and Quarter allows you to ride a horse for mobility and gives a holy damage aura, Judgment causes fire to rain down around you, and Condemn empowers your primary attacks which includes on your horse. Your damage over time effects can also be instantly consumed with the Torrential Refrain offhand essence. This allows you to repeatedly instantly consume damage over time effects instead of just refreshing their duration every time you hit an enemy.

Paragons & Legendary Skills: Sweep Attack Crusader Build

​​

1. Slayer is the highest damage paragon because it increases the damage of your primary skills and continual damage.

2. Gladiator is the best PvP paragon tree for this build because it gives a cheat death and helps with loss of control.

3. Vanquisher is the best paragon tree for increased magic find and gives increased damage and attack speed on kills.

4. Harbinger can be used in Erebban for an absorb shield, movement speed, and to move unhindered through enemies.

5. Survivor is the recommended paragon for Vanguard so that deaths take you to one life instead of killing you.

6. The best paragon legendary skill for this build is Death's Release which causes explosions with continual damage.

7. Below you can find an image for the best paragon for damage and the second image is the best paragon for PvP.

​​

Main Hand

Remonstrant Mace - Sweep Attack now grants you a holy flail that causes your primary attacks to sweep through enemies.

​

Off-Hand

Torrential Refrain - Condemn now instantly triggers all continual damage on the target it hits. This causes damage over time to trigger its full duration instead of just refreshing the damage over time when you hit the enemy.

​

Main Hand 2

Horn Splitter - Sacred Fire now ignites enemies burning them over two seconds causing damage over time.

​

Off-Hand 2

Doom Parade - Condemn has an increased critical hit chance.

​

Helmet

Zealflair - Increases your Sweep Attack damage.

​​

Chest

Heart of Grandeur - Condemn now creates a condensed lightning storm that follows you and damages nearby enemies.

Note: Condemn with Heart of Grandeur also triggers the damage increase on the Pain Clasp two star legendary gem.

​

Shoulders

The Yawning Rose - Judgment now calls down bolts of fire to rain down in an area around you.

​​​

Legs

Galloping Brilliance - Gives Draw and Quarter a holy damage aura and more uptime.​

​​​

Recommended Sets

1. Vithu's Urges (2 Set) - Increases the duration of beneficial effects on you and your party members by 30%.

2. Feasting Baron's Pack (2 Set) - This set is important to increase the duration of harmful effects by 30%.

3. Angmet's Conflagration (4 Set) - Causes primary attacks to attach an Ignite status that deals high damage over time.

Note: The high stacking damage over time from the Angmet's Conflagration set is consumed instantly on this build. The Feasting Baron's Pack set increases the duration of the damage over time before it's consumed instantly.​

​​​​​

Best Curses

1. Lashed - Your primary attacks give a chance to generate three crackling whips that damage enemies.

2. Wired - Useful for AoE to create a surge of lightning on kill that jumps between enemies on cooldown.

​3. Ghosted (PvP) - Optional for PvP to summon a minion to take some of your incoming damage.

​​​

Best 5 Star Legendary Gems

1. Roiling Consequence - Increases your critical hit chance and causes critical hits to burn enemies.

2. Golden Firmament - Causes ranged wind attacks and increases your evasion rating.

3. Colossus Engine - Gives increased skill damage, skill range, movement speed, and temporary knockback immunity.

4. Starfire Shard - Deals AoE damage and stuns enemies in PvP inside the Maw of the Deep legendary gem effect.

5. Blood Floe - Lower priority 5 star gem that increases damage, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and causes bleed.

6. Maw of the Deep - Can be used at a high rank to deal damage, gain a damage buff, draw in enemies, and stun enemies.

7. Void Spark (PvM) - Deals AoE damage that's very effective for challenge dungeons, terror rifts, and speed farming.

Note: The Mother's Lament two star critical hit chance legendary gem should be used with the new Blood Floe critical hit damage legendary gem in the place of a five star gem at lower resonance levels.

 

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Pain Clasp - Gives high increased damage against enemies that have a continual damage effect on them.

2. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and causes a blood spike that makes enemies bleed.

3. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases your critical hit chance.

4. Fervent Fang - Gives enemies a stacking damage taken increase when they are hit by an attack.

5. Grim Rhythm - Gives a stacking attack speed increase when you hit an enemy.

6. Mourneskull - This legacy gem can be used to increase your damage and deal damage but it no longer drops.

7. Crimson Behelit - Strong legendary gem that gives increased damage and reduced damage taken but it's drop disabled.

8. Power & Command - Lower priority two star gem that alternates between increased skill damage and primary damage.

Note: The damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem is triggered by Condemn with the Heart of Grandeur chest essence so there's no need for the Viper's Bite two star legendary gem or Seeping Bile five star legendary gems.

​​​

Best 1 Star Legendary Gems

1. Misery Elixir - Important for this build to increase damage over time durations which are consumed instantly.

2. Berserker's Eye (PvM) - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.

3. Entropic Well - A great budget 1 star legendary gem that increases your skill damage and attack speed.

Note: Misery Elixir and Berserker's Eye are both powerful gems for this build and require ranked up 5 star gems to replace.

​

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler that has Savior which provides a cheat death. The 170+ Resilience lowers the cooldown for Savior but can be lower to make the Duskprowler more affordable.

2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Can have Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.

3. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill because it gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice. Innervate which gives a chance at resetting the player's skill cooldown, Steel Hide which gives a chance to block, Precision which gives the shield critical hit chance, and Tenacity which lowers the cooldown of the shield are also desirable.

4. Magic Duskprowler - Duskprowler shields are hard to replace so a rare or magic ability Duskprowler is the budget option.

Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.

​​

Normal Gems

Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and Citrines for Potency which increases harmful effects duration in yellow sockets which are both important for this build. You can optionally combine all of your Rubies which give life and use one or two in red sockets for higher refinement. Refinement is determined by the quality of the gem and it increases the  attributes of the gear it's socketed in. You can use one or two of your highest refinement Topazes for resistances in yellow sockets 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 Blood Floe five star legendary gem is a great option when it's combined with multiple sources of increased critical hit chance and critical hit damage. The Golden Firmament is a very strong five star legendary gem and is recommended for wind damage, increased evasion rating, and it triggers Firestorms when paired with burning damage which increases your wind damage. 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 continual damage on the target because this build already has continual damage. When using the Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament critical hit chance legendary gems you should also consider rolling critical hit damage on every piece of equipment with Reforge Stones to increase your damage.​
