Yes it scales to your level, so actually 47 is a good time to go and do RoS. Don't kill maltheal before you get to 70 as he is a guaranteed legendary drop. HTH.
500 is where you really feel it. It takes roughly as much XP going from 500-600 as it does going from 0-500 ... the curve just get's crazier and crazier. I just wouldn't really worry about it, plus there will be community events coming that tend to give 100% XP bonus.
Don't forget people demanding someone get fired, and the threat of class action law suits
Quite a few posts suggesting ground effects are doing more damage than expected post patch so something to look out for. This happened back in the early vanilla days where some effects ignored resistance/armour values so wouldn't surprise me if they broke it again.
A Miner's Gold requires you to now actually defend the Miner to complete the quest.
An Elite pack was added to Hell Rift level 2.
Stash doesn't close when a rift closes.
Female Barbarian Leap animation slowed to match male animation.
Significantly reduced hitch when opening inventory.
WDs are now limited to 15 fetishes. New ones replace older ones.
Akarat's Champion prevents Town Portal from being interrupted.
Items that cannot be salvaged are grayed out.
Spiderling egg sacks and a pack of spiders are between Wortham Chapel and Caverns of Araneae
Illusory Boots now allow you to pass through wallers' walls.
Warning box added to Reset Quests option.
Bul-Kathos's Whirldwind can now crit.
Rift guardians can now drop more than one pile of Blood Shards.
Horadric Hamburger transmute now works.
Goblins don't pause and become immune to damage for a second after first attacking.
Hexing Pants of Mr Yan properly provide the damage bonus when using skills that require you to move (Whirlwind, Tempest Rush etc).
Chance of getting the Cow rift is increased

Also from Korea Battle.net they are stating that Legendaries and Blood Shards are getting a community buff by 100% from May 15th to May 22.

Chance of Cow Rift increased!! Finally i might get to do it! double Blood Shards sounds good, as does community buffs.
Its hilarious the amount of people now posting "i played a Crusader when RoS went live but quit it at lvl10 - i want to play it again as im bored of xxx can you give me the spec i need to clear t6?" blatant class hoppers that now perceive Crusader to be the current FOTM OP class, then you look at all the current FOTM Crusaders who played the class because 6 Piece Akkharats and BoP was completely broken and also Gryfs / Jeka was insanely broken and are now crying because their obvious broken skills are now fixed and they cant play the game. Most of us adapt and overcome, its easy to spot the clueless skillless Fotm hoppers haha.
I cant wait for the patch, im going to start building a fire set now they put in enough runes for it to be viable past t4, also i can bust out my Darklight and run a build with that, and my Golden Flense etc, so many more options available you dont feel compelled to have to use Gryfs and Jeka or Blade of Proph not only to compete but to feel any form of viable dps.
I got a Schaefers yesterday and i have aload of +lightning gear from my old build, i might bust that out and work up a decent 2h lightning build and see how that works too, badly need a SoJ though
Its great the amount of buffs and nerfs that have been made to various classes as it promotes diversity and thats a good thing, its boring picking a cookie cutter build that everyone has.

Overall thats a small decrease in average dps, even when you factor in Fervor etc if your using a Gryfs / Jek combo, but in all honesty that build is beyond boring, the noise is irritating and if you have 4 crusaders doing it often you end up with a slide show on massive packs haha.
Im glad they fixed a clearly broken setup without feeling they had to nerf legendary effects to do it.
Same with Akkharats - Rally rune, the fact with some items proc rate it was allowing you to basically condemn as fast as you could push the button, which was effectively a CM wizard all over again, its no suprise it got nerfed.
Adapt and overcome, dont whine and moan about it, theres a ton of other weapons out there and other builds that are even more viable that Blessed Shield.
Im in the position where i have a Gryfs / Jeka and also a Blade of Proph and 4 piece Akkhans, im actually excited for the patch, it means i can ditch some of my set gear without feeling i had to have it, and build a more elemental focused build to destroy T4+.
Also many people are not even commenting on the Crusaders biggest buff = 30% Damage Redux, up from 15%, thats a huge buff in itself right there.

So,post patch...what`s the "To have" gear for crusaders? Same as before, or do the changes favour something else.

I will be gambling shards on helms until I get helm of Akkhan, I think that 6 pc Akkhans will still be strong no matter what build you go with, the added dmg, cc breaks, and the runes (allowing for up to 10 wrath gen per sec, or prophet rune doing the same as before with first death).
After that maybe I will go for 2h weps again to see if I can get some of the flails like FotF and Baleful, Mortal Drama etc.
