Seeker of the Light

This Crusader set revolves around the interplay of Blessed Hammer and Falling Sword. You constantly scatter circling hammers whose hits shorten the cooldown of your Falling Sword, letting you keep crashing down from the sky again and again. Each Falling Sword landing grants you a clear window of reduced damage, lending the build pleasant durability. The big damage jump comes from the hugely amplified Blessed Hammer, rounded out by a stronger Falling Sword.

The playstyle is to drop into enemy packs with Falling Sword and keep hammers circling there nonstop. Position yourself so as many hammers as possible graze multiple foes, and use each landing as a brief protective phase before leaping into the next group. That keeps the cycle of damage and defense running smoothly.

Watching the cooldowns

Falling Sword costs 25 Wrath and has a 30-second cooldown that only starts once the skill's effects end. The 2-piece bonus removes 1 second for every Blessed Hammer that hits – and it applies to Provoke as well. After each landing, the 4-piece bonus reduces your damage taken by 50% for 8 seconds. Runes with lingering effects such as Superheated (6 seconds of burning ground) or Part the Clouds (a 5-second storm) push the start of the cooldown back accordingly.

Provoke as a Wrath source

Provoke generates 30 Wrath plus 5 more for every taunted enemy – fuel for several hammers at 10 Wrath each. With Too Scared to Run, taunted enemies lose 50% attack speed and 80% movement speed for 4 seconds; with Hit Me you gain 50% block chance.

Which hammer

Limitless raises the base damage to 640% and enlarges the area of effect by 20 yards. Dominion keeps the hammer orbiting you even while you move, and Brute Force explodes with a 35% chance, stunning enemies within 6 yards. With the 6-piece bonus, Blessed Hammer deals 15,000% increased damage and Falling Sword 1000%.

Cube powers

The set is frequently combined with the Ring of Royal Grandeur, Faithful Memory, Hammer Jammers and Johanna's Argument.
