Kinda been wanting this for the Holy.

Rolled like absolute pomegranate. Then I realised I already had this in my stash which rolled okay-ish.

Thing is fucking impossible to craft though. The monster spawn rate is way too low and random. Only two mobs that are extremely rare bounties, in Arreat Crater 2, and Tower of the Damned. At least Tower is extremely easy to run quickly to check for the spawn, it's still super rare.
In other news, I've found 7 Crusader Shields in the past week (of the 53 Legendaries still visible in my Guild log), all of them terrible. The Final Witness feels like a swap item. It's too bad none of my non-Shield builds use Shield Glare and they all come out as garbage to begin with. Hallowed Bulwark and Sublime Conviction are pineappleing trash though. I'd like a decent Jekangbord please. Doesn't feel like a Blessed Shield build can be strong enough without one. Especially since Blessed Hammers - Burning Wrath is so strong.
Burning Wrath gives 25% chance to cause a small AoE that deals 330% Weapon Damage per second. This AoE lasts 2 seconds and can proc on multiple monsters. On average, this adds an additional 165% Damage per attack to Blessed Hammers, giving it a 485% Average per cast, or 48.5%/Wrath, and significantly higher if monsters are clumped together, allowing for multiple procs to stack on top of each other.
I just did some testing and confirmed that Shield Bash is a constant 46~48 Frames per Attack + Travel Time. Made no difference if I was at 1.00 APS with no gear, or 2.30 APS with a Dagger and a pomegranateton of IAS, it always fired at 48 Frames or 1.25 APS. Makes it completely unviable for any 1H build. I've tried my best to avoid IAS and I'm still at 1.38 APS with my Maximus meaning I'm losing potential damage. I have a legacy Witching Hour with 9%, my RoRG with 5%, and my Magefists which have 6%. Ideally, the Magefist would be STR/CC/CHD/CDR, but having that luck... Given that Crumble's effect is pretty much worthless since its range is so small and linear, when monsters don't line up like that to begin with, Shield Bash builds are dead to me yet again. Moving back to Burning Wrath.
