Description
Godly amounts of toughness, with the insane stagger potential and good damage of the Indignatus Crusher further multiplied by [Martyrdom]'s buffs. Easily batters down dense hordes and keeps the team safe with the crazy swing speed buffs from [Faithful Frenzy] and [Maniac].
>>> Explanations:
- Crusher: Perks and blessings can be re-adjusted to your liking. We take {Hammerblow} because it's the easiest to stack up especially with all our swing speed buffs, and {Opportunist} to swiftly deal with Crushers and Maulers.
- Bolt Pistol: Ranged weapon is up to preference, our crusher is already great for keeping both chaff and elites under control, so I took the Bolt Pistol for a quickdraw option that's strong in any scenario.
- Perks: We take typical nodes up top, any Blitz is fine I just prefer [Blades of Faith] because they're fun and I don't have to use grenade boxes. We'll take [Against the Odds] and [Thy Wrath be Swift] so we can get really stuck in and not even have to stop eating glue. I take [Chorus of Spiritual Fortitude] for the gold toughness and the ability to quickly reset a situation if things get too messy.
- Curios: Mostly taking CDR and Revive speed to keep the team stable, and Toughness to keep ourselves stable. And of course Wounds to get max [Martyrdom] stacks.
>>> Strategy: We start by hurting ourselves. Red barrels are ideal but anything works, especially if you use [Chorus] to get your toughness back right after. At max [Martyrdom] stacks our swing speed is so fast, most enemies struggle to get a single hit in melee.
The Crusher's Heavy left-to-right horizontal swing is key to keeping elites on the floor. It has enough stagger power to consistently knock crushers out of overheads. We also use it for our main CC attack loop to keep having horizontal swipes. We also occasionally push attack the keep [Punish Impiety] online.
Against large groups of shooters, we either get in deep and tie them down in melee with stagger, or [Chorus] if there's too many.
>>> Weaknesses:
Middling Boss Damage. Bosses will take a while to kill without help. but if you use [Chorus] most classes can kill a boss in that time.
Middling DPS Vs. Armor. We keep them staggered, but it takes some time to put them down.
Inconvenience of trying to damage yourself.
