  • This chart lists the most popular Legendary and Set items for level 70 hardcore Crusaders in Diablo III during patch 2.0.
  • Since they must be more cautious when farming for gear, hardcore Crusaders do not gain the same number of Legendary or Set items on average as a softcore Crusader. Because of this, there were fewer items widely used across level 70 hardcore Crusaders, compared to the Legendary and Set items popular with the softcore Crusaders.
