Gyll's Notes

Crusader has only changed a bit, since he is the “basic” character and relatively well-balanced, his skills were kept simple and used as a sort of baseline power level for the rest of the classes.

Last Rites is part of my effort to introduce more effective corpse clearing to allow frontline-attacking groups to compete with their backline-attacking counterparts. Since that skill makes great use of the scroll animation, I changed his cleave ability to be sword-based. This felt like a good way to maintain his theme without stretching credulity quite as hard as the scroll doing damage.

Battle Heal is one of the weakest skills in vanilla, and it has been drastically improved. I consider the new Battle Heal the intended replacement for Bulwark of Faith, since it conveys the Crusader’s tankiness while also allowing him to protect his teammates.
