The Akkhan armor set offers a few unique benefits that this build exploits for maximum damage potential with the Crusader: Judgement has no cooldown and gains the effect of every listed rune, Phalanx attacks reduce Akarat’s Champion cooldown while applying condemn to Judged enemies, and Akarat’s Champion deals an increased 1500% damage. This build excels in gathering crafting mats, whether it be death breath or gems, so enjoy throwing barrels all across the hordes of Hell. Iron Skin triples thorns damage, and Vacuum should be used to aggregate enemies for Bombardment elimination. Akarat should be used any time that things are looking dire, as the wrath, immunity, and toughness increase are unmatched in the Crusader skill tree. Bombardment acts as the primary DPS for this build, while Punish acts as a proc for a heal-on-hit and additional attack speed.
