What is the gameplay/role of crusader ? Is crusader is good dps ?

He's a good dps. In fact, I would rank him quite high; comparable to the likes of Artillery, Dark Summoner, Inquisitor, and Saleana. But he still fall short against stupidly overpowered class like Smasher, Flurry, BP and Moonlord.
Awakening Spam is the best way to describe his playstyle. -
This is my current pure PVE build. It's nigh impossible for Crusader to have a good hybrid PVE/PVP build due to SP constraint, so you'll need Skill Tree Expansion if you wish to enjoy both aspects of the game.
Recommended Skill Heraldry:- Judgment Hammer DMG
- Electric Smite DMG
- Judge Power Duration
- Divine Combo CD
In essence, Crusader rotation is divided into three different types:- Elemental Bless
In this rotation, main skills (Holy Relic, Lightning Zap, Electric Smite and Judgement Hammer) are used mostly to trigger Elemental Mighty Blow/Hammer Hand (or Awakening INS). Divine Combo is used to recover main skills' cooldown once you have used up all of them.
Main Skill > Elemental MB/HH > Main Skill > Elemental MB/HH > Repeat until there is no main skill left, then use Divine Combo to recover cooldown. - Conviction Bless
This rotation make good use of Awakened Passive - Thor Hammer and Conviction Mighty Blow/Hammer Hand stronger damage + shortened cooldown. The only drawback for this rotation, however, is that you are more likely to run out of skills; thus reducing your overall damage output. Never use Thor Hammer AFTER Mighty Blow/Hammer Hand because there's a bug which causes Thor Hammer to have slower animation.
Thor Hammer > Conviction MB/HH > CM INS + all main skills > Divine Combo > Conviction MB/HH > CM INS + all main skills > Add filler if necessary then repeat until Thor Hammer is ready, restarting the entire cycle. - Dual (Elemental + Conviction) Bless
This rotation combines MB/HH cooldown reduction from Elemental Aura and Thor Hammer cooldown reduction from Conviction Bless. When done properly, this rotation produces more damage output in comparison to Elemental Bless or Conviction Bless. However, it is also very tedious and should not be done in cases where you cannot deal damage freely. In such situation, Elemental Bless rotation will serve you better.
Thor Hammer > Conviction MB/HH > *Switch Bless* > Main Skill > Elemental MB/HH > Repeat until MB/HH is ready > *Switch Bless* > Conviction MB/HH > Thor Hammer (if not yet ready, then Switch Bless again and use Elemental rotation

It's fine to keep your jades as they are (INT) but you'll need to add Destruction/Bear talisman and heraldry into your build. -
the Thor's Hammer animation is bugged since i've tested it out myself, it looks like the Damage output display whenever you deal or hit your targets shows up first before the actual hammer lands a hit, so we can assume they haven't fixed that yet entirely since i've tried the method of using everything else before the Thor's Hammer, but the 50% action speed for Thor's Hammer still applies, just not the animation of the skill.

Hi need some advice, I just change my inqui to crus and i"m loving it so far especially the spammy nature of elemental bless skills. I just have a question my crus is still using the epic weapon when it was an inqui which has a skill +1 for lightning bolt. AFAIK skill +1 does not apply anymore increase in your damage should I keep the weap or change it? Since my guildmate says it still applies to the board damage of the skill based on the tooltip. Need clarification.Comment

it only adds +1 skill point for the said skill described on the tool tip, so if you get the chance to change and get another type of weapon that has better stats from that of your previous weapon, do so, if i were to choose a +1 skill, maybe if judgement hammer is available i would choose that since it is your spam skill other than electric smite.
