Crusader class is a well known class for being invisible (you nearly and never see this class around, even after the buffs he have received back in Jan 8)

so i have came up with an idea to solve some of the issues this class is having.
my idea keeps the theme of the "vampire" class, gives the ability to be meaningful in PvE while also grants some sustain and gap close to the PvP problems it had(has).

here are some of my ideas:


Impregnable Cataclysm 2 - Efficiency changes to 8/9/10 based on rank rather than 5/6/7 (This is to match with the vanquisher's removal buff from enemies skill)


Exposure 3 -
Rank 1:
-1600 Physical Defense -> -10% all defense
-100 Physical Protection -> -10% all protection
-150 Physical Evasion -> -10% all evasion
new invoke: 10% chance to grant 5% all defense buff for 7 sec
Rank 2:
-2000 Physical Defense -> -20% all defense
-200 Physical Protection -> -20% all protection
-250 Physical Evasion -> -20% all evasion
new invoke: 10% chance to grant 10% all defense buff for 7 sec
(Changing the reduction defense into all defense makes the class more wanted to be in parties and grants the team more chance to hit the mobs/bosses, in pvp it helps to boost up the damage that crusaders having a bit problem with [from what i have heard] and the invoke can help the crusader a bit to sustain more, the low chance is because this skill is spammable(7 sec cooldown) )


Mangle - Damage bonus changed from 5%/10% to 10%/20%


Dissection - Damage bonus changed from 5%/10%/15% to 10%/15%/20%

(Crusaders lack a bit of damage compare to other classes, so boosting these 2 skills can change something)


Rupture -
Rank 1:
New invoke: For a successful hit, heal the player 4000 HP per second for 4 seconds (100% chance) Efficiency 6, physical

Rank 2:
New invoke: For a successful hit, heal the player 5000 HP per second for 4 seconds (100% chance) Efficiency 7, physical
(notice it matches the bleed number effect)

(will explain later why)


Blood Congeal -
Rank 1:
New invoke: For *each* successful hit, heal the player 4000 HP and 1000 MP per second for 4 seconds (100% chance if hit) Efficiency 6, physical

Rank 2:
New invoke: For *each* successful hit, heal the player 4000 HP and 1000 MP per second for 5 seconds (100% chance if hit) Efficiency 7, physical

(The reason for giving these invokes is for making the player who uses crusader more sustain in battlefield [PvP] as when they get focused they die easily and dont have much room to do stuff and therefore that invoke can make the fight a bit less frustrating for the crusader. The efficiency there is to cancel that buff so the player who is against the crusader can remove that healing)


Blood Craze -
Rank 1:
New effect: Reduces all damage by 5%

Rank 2:
New effect: Reduces all damage by 7%

Rank 3:
New effect: Reduces all damage by 10%

(Blood Craze is an awesome ability since it reduces the physical hit chance but there is no really a room for that ability to be used against mages or magic type mobs, therefore giving it also a slight reduce to all damage on enemies can give this ability a new use and moreover supports your tank in a dungeon)


Vampiric Curse -
Rank 1:
New effect: Ability is now AoE, 5m radius

Rank 1:
New effect: Ability is now AoE, 7m radius


Last idea is to make a new skill for crusaders which makes them either run away or catch up someone.

(insert random name)
Magic skill
Skill type: active
Requires: GreatSword
Cast time: 1 second (if can, static, that cannot be changed with -cast time)
Cooldown: 2 min
Cost: 2500 HP

~text~

Effect:
During the channel(1 second) you gain 100% all absorb, 11 efficiency physical/magic/poison immunity, push/pull immunity.

After the channel, the player gain a burst of movement speed(500% movement speed) for 1 second

Efficiency 99

(why? crusaders lack some defensive skills [life steal is a good one but reliable] and this skill i believe can help them a lot by either escaping or countering an attack that can end them, the high cooldown is to not make other players get frustrated by the skill and not giving too much of freedom for the crusader and be careless. the immunities for all the debuffs is to not interrupt the skill, since the cooldown is high it wont be nice when someone cancels it to you. the absorb there is because the skill meant to be as defensive one, an escape, so it helps to not die while in that state)


i would like to hear all other suggestions too
