Pool of the item type from the game files, version 2.8.0. Skill damage bonuses only carry weight for their class. All properties of this slot

At Akkhan's request, Kassar trained the first Crusaders, turning them into skillful warriors through his rigorous methods. His own apprentices faced harsher trials and were each lost in training, unable to carry on his name. --Abd al-Hazir, The Crusaders

Warhelm of Kassar

This helm revolves around Phalanx: it reduces the cooldown while raising the skill's damage. As a result you can summon your avatars far more often and hit harder with them, turning Phalanx from an occasional summon into a reliable damage source.

It is intended only for the Crusader, specifically Phalanx builds that use their avatars as their core offense. The open socket also lets you slot a legendary gem for extra damage or toughness. Practical tip: stack cooldown reduction on other gear pieces too, so Phalanx stays available as continuously as possible; the shorter the gap between summons, the higher your sustained damage. When rolling, favor your primary Strength and matching bonus damage.

Where the cooldown actually matters

Phalanx itself costs 30 Wrath and has no cooldown - three runes add one. Bowmen can only be summoned once every 15 seconds and follow you for 5 seconds at 185% weapon damage, Shield Bearers also every 15 seconds, and Bodyguard only every 30 seconds with 2 avatars that fight by your side for 10 seconds. With these runes the helm pays off twice. With Shield Charge or Stampede, you only get the damage bonus.

The roll range

Cooldown reduction and damage bonus share one value between 45 and 60%. A copy at 49% sits in the lower third, while a Primal Ancient gives 60% to both - a noticeable difference for the runes with a cooldown.

Helm or cube

When worn, the helm always has a socket and a main stat at 626 to 750 points. It is frequently paired with Helm of Akkhan, Talisman of Akkhan, Breastplate of Akkhan and Gauntlets of Akkhan, Aughild's Power and Captain Crimson's Silk Girdle. Because Helm of Akkhan uses the same slot, the power then goes into the armor slot of Kanai's Cube.

According to Abd al-Hazir, Kassar trained the first Crusaders at Akkhan's request - his own apprentices did not survive their even harsher trials, and none of them carried on his name.
