In renewal, Holy Cross and Spear Quicken was buffed. Holy Cross now does double damage if you use a 2hand spear. Spear Quicken adds ASPD, hit, crit, and flee. Grand Cross was greatly weakened. Shield might be okay if you have Crusader Spirit (Soul Linker) and Glommy Shyness (Wanderer/Maestro) slaves.
You get a one time reset in Eden Group that does both your stats and skill points. I recommend this build for Crusaders, easy and cheap to get to 99.
1 Riding
5 Cav Mastery
10 Spear Mastery
10 Spear Quicken
10 Faith
10 Holy Cross
70s STR
70s AGI
60s DEX
30s INT
Use that as a base template for your stats and customize to your own playstyle / equips / funds. Grab a Hellfire (or even store bought Lance) and two shot Dark Priests with Holy Cross.
+1
I would just like to add that you may want to grab a
Crescent Scythe as well add maybe add 30 Luk to help out a bit. CScythe gives +30 Crit and lvl 10 Spear quicken also gives +30 Crit, 30 Luk would add some attack and also another 10 Crit for a total of 70 Crit for little investment because of this you could lower Dex to about 50.
http://db.irowiki.or...item-info/1466/I am following this build for my Pally below as well. At lvl 90 his Base stats are:
70 Str
90 Agi
30 Vit, Dex, Luk
1 Int
Also has the skill you outlined above so far, Faith, Spear, Quicken, Holy Cross all 10 plus 6 in the peco skills. Uses a +7 Crescent Scythe primarily with a Mocking Undershirt and Wild Pantie (Earth Deleter Pantie as well for when using HC) as well as a +7 Aquarius Crown.
