[GENERAL INFO]

Grimiku: Tell us a bit about yourself.

CeciliaHeart#1872: My name is Cecilia, and I’ve been a gamer for a large majority of my life. I currently live in WA, and have for the last year or so!


Grimiku: Got any cool hobbies or talents?

CeciliaHeart#1872: I love to draw/sketch, and I’ve been a runner since high school.


Grimiku: What is your history as a gamer, and with the Diablo franchise?

CeciliaHeart#1872: I still remember the first game I’ve ever played, it was Pokémon Gold Version and I got it as a birthday present from my mom. Since then, I have played a huge variety of games, RPG’s being my favorites. I wanted to play Diablo 2, and Diablo 3 Vanilla, but never got around to playing in the Tristram universe until after Reaper of Souls came out. I’m a huge lore geek, and I love Diablo’s lore.


Grimiku: What are some of your favorite games?

CeciliaHeart#1872: Persona 3, Monster Hunter, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Diablo 3 RoS just to name a few.


Grimiku: Do you play any other classes?

CeciliaHeart#1872: I like to play all of the classes, crusader dominating most of the time though. Also have a lot of fun on barbarian and monk. I’m looking forward into testing out playing the intelligence classes more in patch 2.2, I haven’t played them as much as I’d like to.


Grimiku: Are you in a great clan or community? If yes, tell us about them!

CeciliaHeart#1872: Yes! I am in the clan [EOS] Eye of the Storm on NA, which is a high paragon exclusive greater rifting clan trying to push the leaderboards. I’m also in [DSG] Deadset Gaming on the EU servers, which I play somewhat from time to time.


Grimiku: What's your most embarrassing moment while playing?

CeciliaHeart#1872: Back before the conduit nerf, I solo’d a bit on crusader and barbarian, and while playing on my barbarian I got a perfect greater rift with the perfect mob types and map. It would have been a personal best, but when I spawned the rift guardian and popped the conduit, I had forgotten about my defensive cooldowns, and Perdition one shot me, making me fail the rift.


Grimiku: Okay, what about your most AWESOME moment while playing?

CeciliaHeart#1872: Getting my Ancient Furnace the day after 2.1.2 went live. It was the first furnace since the patch, and it rolled decent, it also got me kicked quite a bit from my clan at the time because of people jealous of the rng.

[THE CRUSADE MARCHES ON]

Grimiku: What drew you to the Crusader?

CeciliaHeart#1872: I have always been a fan of support heavy classes, but what drew me from my main of the time (Wizard), was watching my friend running around with the blessed shield build (Gyrfalcon’s Foote/Jekangbord), a fairly popular build back in the day.


Grimiku: What kind of Crusader are you: do you wade into the thick of battle to crush your foes or call down the wrath of the heavens from afar?

CeciliaHeart#1872: I definitely prefer wading into the thick of the enemy, taking little damage, while dealing back much more, although I prefer a healthy mixture of both melee and ranged.


Grimiku: What's your favorite skill (or skill rune), and why?

CeciliaHeart#1872: My favorite skill definitely goes down to Heaven’s fury with the rune Fires of Heaven, but only with a Fate of the Fell equipped, making every use shoot a triple beam to incinerate all foes in front of you. I definitely look forward to messing around with the new ivory tower rework when 2.2 goes live.


Grimiku: What build do you generally have the most fun with, and what makes that build so awesome?

CeciliaHeart#1872: At the moment I am having the most fun with the common condemn build. I’m greatly enjoying soloing greater rifts, pulling a maps worth of enemies behind me with vacuum.


Grimiku: What’s the next item you’re after, and how will it change your build?

CeciliaHeart#1872: Besides a few minor upgrades, I’m looking for 2 important things, Crafting a good hellfire amulet with holy%, crit stat, socket, with any of the 5 passives I normally use. The Hellfire would allow me to use the passive indestructible to get that extra survivability for higher solo greater rifts. The other item being a perfect Flavor of Time with Holy%, crit stats, 8% cdr, and a socket, which would allow me to swap my belt out for something besides vigilante, or allow me to use the ivory tower shield in 2.2 without losing 56% cdr (perma akarat’s champion).


Grimiku: If you could build a set around any Crusader skill, what would it be and how would the set work?

CeciliaHeart#1872: Definitely blessed shield. I’ve wanted it to become viable for higher greater rifts since greater rifts came out. As to how the set would work, I’m not sure at the moment, but I would love to test anything that the developers could come up with, and who knows, maybe I’ll think of how it can work in the future.


Grimiku: If there was one thing you could change about the Crusader, what would it be?

CeciliaHeart#1872: I would revert Shattering Throw back to how it used to work before the major nerf, seeing other skills have been buffed since then, I couldn’t see it hurt the class in any way, and it would actually, potentially, make another build viable for higher solos.


Grimiku: Pick a Crusader quote!

CeciliaHeart#1872: “Burn in the Light!”. It’s my favorite because I’ve always loved the concept of a holy crusader smiting down all of their enemies with righteous holy fire. But that’s just me xD


Grimiku: Name one piece of advice that you think every Crusader should know.

CeciliaHeart#1872: Don’t be afraid to get close, you’ve got a lot of survivability compared to other classes.

[WHO'S NEXT?]

Grimiku: Which Crusader should we interview next?

CeciliaHeart#1872: I personally know nobody I could nominate.


Grimiku: Pick a question to ask in the next interview:

CeciliaHeart#1872: What is a legendary piece of gear you would add to the season 4 exclusive list for crusader? What would it do?


Grimiku: Tundra asks: “What change to the game system, or alternately, to the user interface, would you like to see?”

CeciliaHeart#1872: I would like to see trials overhauled. It isn’t fun to do trials for an entire day just to burn the keys from it in under an hour. Possibly add an npc that sells keystones 1 greater rift higher than you’ve solo’d/completed in groups.

It could add a use to the increasingly meaningless mountain of gold everyone I know has, plus you could make it also cost a trial stone, so for example, my highest cleared solo is 39, I go to the npc and buy a 40 key for x amount of gold and a trial key. (the trial keys so people still have a reason to do t6, and in turn bounties)
