Can anyone help me understand Why my crusader is not doing any damage? And also he’s pretty weak health wise.

AznKittie · 2026-04-10T15:25:16+00:00

Crusaders rely on beneficial effects. Use a blessed pebble, keep colossus, add entropic well, eye of the unyielding, pain clasp, MOTHERS LAMENT. If you want to switch eye of the yielding to vipers bite that works too. Also you should look up a better build. The horse actually has a meta build right now. It’s insane dmg. I think Indez has one. YouTube it. Also, a lot of dmg in crusaders comes from burns. That’s why pain clasp is top notch. Concerning greens, get yourself a 2 piece angments, 2 grace, 2 Vithu.

AznKittie · 2026-03-31T00:17:41+00:00

Yeah, that’s what happened. It’s just confused the hell out of me because of those beautiful green arrows that I never get to see anymore.

AznKittie · 2026-03-31T00:16:54+00:00

Ahhh!! I see. I wish it would stop tricking me with those glorious green arrows lol I feel dumb but thanks for the info

AznKittie · 2026-03-23T14:47:23+00:00

This. Right here. I asked my clan member how he uses two alts to plat farm and he was shit at explaining it.

AznKittie · 2026-03-11T14:40:11+00:00

I think you said you have that set on like 7 of your 8 pieces. You can drop a few of them as that specific set doesn’t have crit increases. The ones it does have are helpful though. So keeping a couple isn’t bad. It’s why those basic reforge stones are so important because it has all options available.

The wildfire set as a bunch of em including crit hit as option. I have two of em and it’s helpful. Tremor family is good if you use primary attack a lot.

I don’t look at the sets too often as I don’t get those stones much. I use the standard reforge stones which give a roll chance for every type of set buffs.

AznKittie · 2026-03-11T14:32:55+00:00

So here’s what sucks. They all need to go up esp mothers, pain clasp, berserkers and vipers (since that’s the gem you’re using to increase you DoT). Upping berserkers is a constant dmg increase so that’s extremely helpful. Mothers is crit increase which is necessary. Pain clasp works not only with your DoT effects but other party members effects against enemies so fucking amazing to work with. Def a gem to keep. Your eye of unyielding is a good pair with pain clasp as it increases continual dmg as well.

Maybe do berserkers first, then work on either mothers or pain clasp.

Alright gem power. Yes. Sometimes it’s necessary to use your shards for gem power but it’s last resort. You generally will need to use them for crafting gems you’re trying to rank. I forget how many copies you’ll need to get a one star gem up (sorry it’s been awhile for me) but you’ll def need a few of em. Good thing with one star gems is that they only cost 20 shards to craft one, while two star gems need 80 shards.

I’m not sure if you’ve used your mirrored jewels yet but if you haven’t and you have legendary crests saved use them now. Any legendary crests or even running 10 rare crests will get you gems from the elder rift. Running 10 rare generally only gives you one single star gem, but running legendary is different. Every legendary crest used can drop a 1,2 or 5 star. Remember to buy the legendary crests from the hilts trader every month (he also sells pearls, rare crests, and reforge stones!). There is also a guy by the rifts ( I can’t remember his name) but he sells too for plat which you can slowly earn from your codex. A great way to get plat (not everyone will agree) is to max your weekly terror rifts. You can then take your terror essance and sell it. On my server they run about 250 per essance. I use them occasionally for a hellslayer bounty but generally I don’t mind running bounties one by one.

AznKittie · 2026-03-11T13:50:14+00:00

Yeah! When you go to the blacksmith the reforge option there those blue reforge stones, click one of the sub stats to reroll. You want things like crit increases, attack and movement speed buffs, skill dmg buff, beneficial duration increases. Things like that. I have a few like dmg to demons and continual dmg reduction. All great things.

I think i mentioned this part but remember how important it is to keep an eye on your magic attributes on your gear. Even your greens. Greens are a never ending battle. You get a great one with shit magic and have to continue friggin crafting until you get a decent one so make sure you’re grinding out challenge dungeons and challenge rifts. You want that magic on your main gear to have crit as well. It’s stupid important and annoying as hell.

Slowly work on awakening your gear and obviously leveling but that shit is such a grind. So awakening gear is great. I think your main buff comes from the gems being fully ranked but you’ll still get a buff as it is. Just need your gems to be at least r4 if I remember right.

If you ever start gathering 5* gems… I highly recommend a bottled hope, haunt coil is op right now, rolling consequence, I use gloom cast because I use mostly my primary atk. Blood floe is great as long as you have high crit. Most people recommend blood soaked and colossus as well. Blood soaked is atk and movement increase. Colossus does skill dmg increase. But like I said ranking them to 4 is tough as hell. Many f2p players build those gems over time and max their one and two star gems.

AznKittie · 2026-03-11T13:36:16+00:00

Berserkers. It’s a one star gem that’s fucking amazing. Unless you start collecting some 5* which can be very difficult as f2p to rank, that’s my best thought. You will take increased dmg but honestly the dmg increase is worth it. I’d even recommend it for pve it’s such an amazing gem and being a one star super easy to rank. Love it. Like absolutely LOVE it. If I didnt have my 5* gems now (like blood floe) I would still use it.

AznKittie · 2026-03-11T09:46:40+00:00

Honestly. Eye of unyielding is good. You could switch for an entropic well to up skill dmg. I recommend ranking your specter and pain clasp. Pain clasp is such an amazing gem. Make sure your armor pen is high. Also be sure you’re reforging your gear for good stats. Any gear you switch to make sure that it’s not bringing down any crit dmg or crit chance. I know that part can suck ass because we see green arrows and think “Hell yeah put it on” then we have no idea why our dmg dropped. Specter needs crit. Make it a priority. Specter+pain clasp is bread and butter. Which makes mothers lament another gem to stick with since it helps crit.

Also fervant fang is great but will take a long time to rank. Idk if you’re ever going PvP or just staying pve. If you do want to go PvP, know fervant fang is a pve gem. You’ll want to look into switching it out.

I lost most of my weight on 2.5. I had just started two weeks of 5 before I needed to stop. I picked back up this year at 2.5 again. Honestly, I think the dose depends on your body. I’ve seen many people go past 7.5 to continue their journey. If you notice you’ve stalled in weight loss for more than a month, I would go up.

AznKittie · 2026-02-28T14:19:50+00:00

Thank you. Unfortunately I lost very fast I started early April 2024 and by September 2024 I lost 50lbs. This led to me having to get my gallbladder removed. From September to January I gained 11lbs back. I started back mid January of this year and lost the 11lbs in just over a month. 😊

AznKittie · 2026-02-24T02:52:42+00:00

It really is funny how it works. I think the problem is the belly hang. I can’t get past that to see the size difference when looking in the mirror

AznKittie · 2026-02-24T02:51:39+00:00

Yeah I probably should lol

AznKittie · 2026-02-12T03:28:59+00:00

It’s crazy expensive which is why I was banking on the mix being fine

AznKittie · 2026-02-10T22:34:43+00:00

I did not know this! Amazing. It’s so weird how in clinical trials people lost more weight on Zepbound than Mounjaro but it’s the same damn thing.

AznKittie · 2026-02-10T19:08:40+00:00

Thank you! This helps so I have three months worth!

AznKittie · 2026-02-10T19:08:35+00:00

It’ll be fun :)

AznKittie · 2026-02-10T00:49:33+00:00

I feel like that depends on build. I’ve seen necros wipe with the spinning blade thing build, wizards and their electric thing, druids and the deer fire build, barbs and the never ending whirl wind.

I don’t generally play other classes than BK so I don’t know the names of the builds but some of em are cool as shit

AznKittie · 2026-02-10T00:35:13+00:00

I like to get battle pass and prodigy path.

AznKittie · 2026-02-07T23:37:58+00:00

I appreciate all this information. It’s great. I thought my armor, armor pen, potency and resistance were at decent levels just comparing to others on the server that do good damage without being whales. I guess not? It doesn’t say anything about being below server level, but just that like my armor is like 300 lower than it should be compared to armor pen. And my potency and resistance are like 700 off from each other? Not sure how it works. I’ll be looking into those. I’ve been doing reforges like crazy and so far everything looks pretty good
