Diablo 3 Aegis of Valor Fist of the Heavens Crusader Build

Despite the Aegis of Valor Set primarily enhances the skill Heaven’s Fury, it also provides a significant bonus to Fist of the Heavens. This creates new possibilities for different builds. Specifically, it creates great AoE damage build, as Fist of the Heavens can trigger it. With its wide area of effect and unlimited range, combined with the mobility from Steed Charge and the Norvald’s Fervor set, this build offers the most efficient Crusader build for speed farming.
