  1. The gear on my invoker build is 'better' as I have more ancients and a primal belt (which is why I thought I would test the build). I have enough friends playing this season that it makes sense that one of us is the tank. I don't like saying this, but I am going to main invoker this season.
  2. Jan 28, 2019 Welcome to the Invoker Crusader Build Guide for Diablo 3 Patch 2.6.4 and Season 16 enjoy! Invoker Crusader GR Build Diablo 3 Season 16 Patch 2.6.4 Guide. How To Complete Builds & Improve.
One of the best Crusader builds in the game. Tied with Sweep Roland build for the Top Tier Crusader build for Season 16 and Patch 2.6.4

Akkhan's Condemn Crusader is the Top Tier build for its' class. While still one of the best builds in the game, it's currently tied for the first place with the Sweep build based on Roland's Legacy set. This set was so powerful, it wasn't buffed in Patch 2.6.4, yet it still remains in the very top few builds in Diablo 3.

General information

The entire build is based on the Armor of Akkhan set which provides the following bonuses:

Diablo 3 crusader build
  • Reduces the Wrath cost of all abilities by 50% when Akarat's Champion is active (2/6)
  • Reduces the cooldown of Akarat's Champion by 50% (4/6)
  • While Akarat's Champion is active, the Crusader deals 1500% increased damage and takes 50% less damage (6/6)

Akkhan was the best set in the game in previous patches. It left the majority of other sets and builds far behind in terms of high GR pushing, and it was left untouched in Patch 2.6.4 so that other builds can cope up with its' immense capabilities.

The build's mechanics revolve around Akarat's Champion spell, which provides terrific offensive and defensive bonuses. Because of relying on the skill to be able to deal any damage, the most important attribute on your gear is Cooldown Reduction. If you are using Hexing Pants of Mr. Yan (as recommended in this guide) you will have to remember to be always on the move, otherwise, you will be losing a lot of DPS.

  1. Use Akarat Champion when facing Elites, Bosses, big packs, and in emergency situations
  2. Spam Condemn while under the effect of Akarat's Champion for immense damage.
  3. Keep five stacks of Slash Guard armor bonus at all times
  4. Using Provoke and Steel Skin when their cooldown is off for great defensive utility


After shutting down Auction House trading is no longer directly possible in Diablo 3. Items can only be traded with party members within a 2-hour time frame.

Barbarian Builds

  1. [2.6.4]Raekor's Hammer of the Ancients build - the best Barbarian build at the moment. It is slightly better than Charge Barb when you have similar gear and Paragon, and we believe it also makes it easier to sustain high DPS with this builds mechanics
  2. [2.6.4]Immortal King's Hammer of the Ancients build - solid Barbarian build, based on the Immortal King's set and Istvan's Paired Blades for their insane Attack Speed bonuses. This build is GR110+ viable
  3. [2.6.1]Earthquake 'Leapquake' build - another interesting Barbarian build. It's several GR levels behind the HotA build, but may appeal to players preferring a different playstyle

Crusader Builds

  1. [2.6.4]Roland's Legacy Sweek Attack build - tied for the first place for the Best Crusader build in Season 16 and Patch 2.6.4 Based on Roland's Legacy set and the amazing attack speed and damage reduction bonuses granted by the Sweep Attack skill
  2. [2.6.4]Akkhan Condemn build - the best Diablo 3 build in Patch 2.6.1. and onward. Currently, it's tied for the Top Tier Crusader build with Sweep Roland build
  3. [2.6.4]Holy Hammerdin build - Seeker of the Light Set has received a considreable boost in Patch 2.6.4 and it currently is in the Top Tier builds for the Crusader class
  4. [2.6.1]Thorns Invoker builds - it's pretty much the weakest Crusader set, but still, we found a place for this build on our list. It's because this build provides utterly different gameplay mechanics, rely on a different set of stats than any other Diablo 3 build

Demon Hunter Builds

  1. [2.6.4]Shadow Impale build - Top Tier Demon Hunter build. In terms of high GR pushing there are indeed better builds out there, but this one provides great mobility, and extreme single-target DPS
  2. [2.6.4]Unhallowed Essence Multishot - one of the most satisfying Demon Hunter builds. It provides perfect mobility, AoE damage and has high GR pushing capability with the recent changes introduced in Patch 2.6.4

Monk Builds

  1. [2.6.4]Inna's Mantra WoL build - the best build for Season 16 and Patch 2.6.4 in terms of high GR pushing for the Monk class
  2. [2.6.4]Sunwuko Wave of Light build - very solid build for Greater Rifts. It's in the Top 5 builds for the Monk class
  3. [2.6.4]Sunwuko WoL speed-farming variation - solid Monk build for clearing regular Rifts and doing Bounties. It provides good mobility and great AoE damage for increased clear speed

Necromancer Builds

  1. [2.6.4]Pestilence Corpse Lancer - the best Necromancer build as of Patch 2.6.1 and still remains one in 2.6.4 and Season 16
  2. [2.6.4]Rathma Singularity Skeletal Mages build - the second most powerful Necromancer Set in Patch 2.6.4. It also offers a unique Minion playstyle
  3. [2.6.1]Trag'Oul's Blood Lancer - very similar in terms of playstyle to the Pestilence build above. It is slightly less powerful as of Patch 2.6.1 and the buffs to Pestilence set
  4. [2.6.1]Inarius Corpse Explosion build - even though Inarius Grace is the weakest Necromancer set, this build is worth mentioning here. It is still delightful to play, and it is one of the most suitable Necro builds for speed-farming lower tier content

Outdated guides:

  1. Inarius Corpse Lance build - the best Necromancer build before the nerfs to Miranae's proc coefficiency
  2. Rise of the Necromancer PTR builds preview - a preview of Necromancer before the official launch of the expansion

Witch Doctor Builds

  1. [2.6.4]Jade Harvester - the best Witch Doctor build for Patch 2.6.4 and Season 16. The DPS is simply terrific making it one of the best builds in Diablo 3
  2. [2.6.4]Arachyr Firebats build - the second most powerful WD build in Season 16. It is most suited for solo GR pushing
  3. [2.6.1]Helltooth Gargantuan build- the best Witch Doctor's Pet build out there. It is at the same time one of the best Witch Doctor builds in general, with Gargantuan's outrageous damage

Wizard Builds

  1. [2.6.4]Tal Rasha's Star Pact Meteor build - the best Wizard build for Patch 2.6.4 with a very smooth transition to speed farming build for Bounties and GR Keys farming
  2. [2.6.4]Firebird's Finery Channeling Meteor build - a very solid Wizard build, however, with the changes to other classes this variation is no longer a Top Tier for the Wizard class
  3. [2.6.1]Tal Rasha's Meteor build - another powerful Meteor build, which provides much better mobility, and is much more suitable for lower-tier content farming
