Sasha and Pete feels like among the most outdated Crusaders there are, and I say that for one very simple reason:
Both of them have a piece of gear which is a self-dps item, but none of them are tagged as DPS!

While there sure are several other Crusaders as well that could need revamps on their skills (like Detective, Khouri and many others which have so many self-dps skills while being supports), this thread is just gonna focus on Sasha and Pete (for the others, I have a big post coming up in the future about them all)

Please note that a lot of my ideas are based on the skills' names and descriptions. Also, the numbers are of course the least important part of the suggestions.

So let's start.

---- SASHA ----
Looking at how her Bulwark ability works and then looking at one of her items (the shield, her current self-dps item), I thought, why not make here a TANK as well? Currently, for newbies, there are no tank of the base 20 Crusaders earlier than Thalia, so having an early tank seems like a good idea. Combine that with the fact that Healers also appear later than her, then these became the ideas I had in mind for her:

Bad Guy Butt Kicking - After 5 seconds of her being attacked (time is cumulative and faster with more enemies attacking), she kicks away all enemies currently attacking her. The kick does pushback (similar to Alan's Resurrection, but less force) and deals damage equal to 150% of the team's DPS to all of them. Has a 10 second cd

Power of the Warrior - Grants Sasha 50% more total health.

Soul of the Warrior - Sasha regenerates 10% of her max health every second.

Joan's Ju Jitsu - All enemies kicked by Bad Guy Butt Kicking also each suffer a click's worth of damage.

Take This (Last ability) - Bulwark now also works TWO rows behind her! (This idea, that the final ability not only grants the 4x multiplier thing, but something else too, is something I think should be done for ALL Crusaders, so even Support units want to level this skill up)

Sasha's shield items - Now grants her 10/20/30/50% damage reduction (similar to Thalia's rings. Also, this numerical scaling was suggested, due to it being a DR-mechanic and thus with thes numbers is much closer in line with other items' using a 10/25/50/100% boosting formula, as those suggested amounts of DR makes her have about 11%/25%/43%/100% more effective health. These values could also be given to Thalia's rings btw, for fairness.)

With these suggestions she would now also become a frontline tanker AND still be able to keep up her supportng role, by more easily being able to reach quite far back and buff your main DPS Crusader with the suggested bonus on the final skill! The self-regen also allows her to sustain herself a bit by herself before you can get a hold of a dedicated healer.

---- PETE ----
Inspired by his abilities' names+descriptions and him being a clown/carney, and also partly inspired by the other Crusaders sharing his slot (Jason and Broot), I wanted to push him further into Support-territory, with some of it being tank-enabled support.

Pete's boxing glove item - Now instead buffs his Bad Joke ability, by 10/25/50/100%

Flower Trick - Whenever an enemy starts attacking any of the Crusaders in the formation, that enemy suffers damage equal to 25% of the team's DPS.

Menacing Face Paint - ALL Crusaders in the formation suffer 15% less damage taken!

Coconut Cream Pie - Every 5 seconds, a random enemy is stunned for 1 second.

Wagon Train - Whenever Pete's Flower Trick or Coconut Cream Pie skills are triggered, ALL enemies suffer damage equal to 20% of the team's DPS. (Yes, the damage of Flower Trick and Wagon Train will thus stack).

Clown Rage (Last ability) - Coconut Cream pie now occurs every 4 seconds! (Like I said on Sasha, the last ability should have something special on it to make it attractive even for Support Crusaders)

And there ya go: His Flower Trick gives him tank-enabled dps-boosting, with Menacing Face Paint hels out with the team's tankiness to further emphasize that, while Coconut Cream Pie gives him a CC-skill. Wagon Train is then the skill that merges all of those things together into quite a destructive force.


So, what do you guys think of these suggestions? :)

would be good to review the skills of all the support Crusaders, have on their DPS increased skill is useless

I am a bit worried that Sasha doesn't have 7th skill yet.

It could also change all the self-dps to dps all crusader, for example to a + 100% self DPS = + 10% DPS to all
