All Crusader Active and Passive Skills

The Crusader is far from a finished product and the content in the Diablo 3 demos is edited and limited from the full production version, but there are usually quite a few skills listed, including ones of a higher level than you can even use in the demo. We’ve posted big lists of these from Blizzcon in years past, and from Gamescom comes a full list of the skills courtesy of long time excellent French Diablo fansite, Judge Hype.

The Crusader’s Passive skills, all translated from the French on Judge Hype. The Crusader’s resource is called “Wrath” (for now) and as was true of most class resources in past D3 demos, it works like mana at this point. It will probably be much different in the final game.

Indestructible: Gain 1% armor for every 5% of life lost.

Wrathful: When you block a shot, gain 5% regeneration of Wrath for 3 seconds.

Heavenly Strength: Allows you to carry a two-handed weapon with your main hand, but only if you equip a shield in the other hand. Note however that you lose 10% in movement speed while doing this.

Hold Your Ground: Increases 5% chance to block. Reduced to 0% dodge chance. (Yes, 0%, must believe that it can change.)

Against All Odds: When the Crusader is surrounded by at least 4 enemies (within 15 yards), the odds of landing a critical hit are increased by 10%.

Finery: You get 34 resistance to all elements for each different color gem that sits on your equipment. If you have 5 gems of different colors (Diamonds have been seen in the Gamescom demo) you get an additional bonus of 34.

Holy Because: Increases 10% damage of the Sacred weapon. Also increases by 10% the proc effect on Sacred weapons.

Vigilant: Increases the regeneration of life (42 in the case of the level 32 in the demo). Increases the regeneration of total life (3%). Reduces all non-physical damage received (-2%).

These are far from the final version of the skills, and they’re translated from English into French and back, so don’t take them as word for word perfection. But it’s an interesting look into how the class is being developed.

Again, translated from the French from Judge Hype’s great work.

Bear in mind these are works in progress, they’ll change, only a few of the runes are available yet, the Crusader’s resource will probably be tweaked, etc. Just read them for a general sense of how the class will work
