One of the things that's wrong with me is, I find it difficult to enjoy playing a build if I know there is a strictly better one out there that does the same thing.
I'm unable to decide between a brute or crusader for a frontline DPS MC.
The brute seems to have more damage through the barbarian's attack speed increases, hit-to-crit and passive damage increases. Crusader has lashes and high accuracy though, so I'm not sure how significant the difference is?
The crusader offers better survivability through improved defenses, not suffering a deflection mallus and more armor.
So, do you think the higher potential damage of the brute (some of which is conditional on large packs of mobs) outweighs the increased survivability of a crusader?
