    Features

    "The Crusader" implements a new skill tree with a total of 8 skills (like every other skill tree). The skill tree has a focus on healing the user and his/her allies, resource management and dealing Holy Damage. A melee character is typcally very strong against a single enemy and struggles against larger groups. This skill tree addresses that issue by offering less single target power in exchange for a weapon infusion (Impending Doom Imbue) that brings some AoE damage to the table. The skills are as following:

    Cure Wounds (Mana cost: 14)

    • []Heals the caster and all allies of the caster within 15 units for 10 health, scaling with the caster's Holy Damage bonus.

      []The player is partially mobile during the entire spell casting animation.

      Rebuking Smite (Cooldown: 20 seconds, Mana cost: 7, Stamina cost: 7)

      • []A sweeping weapon attack.

        []Deals 1. 5x impact damage.

        []Deals 1. 5x weapon damage.

        Meditate (Passive)

        • []The caster is set in a meditating pose until he/she moves.

          []Meditating for 3 seconds buffs the caster with Burst of Divinity.

          []Receiving the buffs from Meditate has a 100 seconds internal cooldown, despite the Meditate skill having no cooldown itself.

          Blessed Determination (Passive)

          • []Restores 100% of mana spent as stamina.

            []Each point of stamina spent gives about 5% Burst of Divinity build-up.

            Judgement (Passive)

            • []When you expend Burst of Divinity to cast a spell, your primary weapon becomes infused with Impending Doom Imbue for 15 seconds.

              Wrathful Smite (Cooldown: 40 seconds, Mana cost: 7, Stamina cost: 10)

              • []A leaping attack that deals more damage to wounded enemies, and instantly becomes available for another use if it kills its target.

                []Deals 2. 0x impact damage.

                []Deals from 2. 0x to 5. 0x weapon damage depending on the target's missing health.

                []The cooldown resets if the skill kills a target.

                Holy Shock (Cooldown: 30 seconds, Mana cost: 14)

                []A blast that damages opponents and heals allies.
