Introduction
Rebirthing the Holy Shotgun concept with the help of an entirely new set, the Aegis of Valor, this Heaven's Fury Crusader embodies the tanky, impenetrable bulwark of steel that absorbs blows and retaliates in blasts of pure, radiant vengeance. This build is designed with Greater Rift solo progression in mind, but we also have a speed farming variation that can be accessed using the link below.
