Introduction

This build is the embodiment of the melee spellcaster fantasy, exerting powerful crowd control over monsters and decimating them in waves of holy destruction. Its in-combat mobility is among the best of the Crusader class and, while the build is geared towards Greater Rift solo progression, we also have a speed farming variation, that you can access using the link below.
