Judgement

As with other Seals, Seal of the Crusader can be judged on a target, afflicting them with Judgement of the Crusader, a debuff that increases the holy damage done to that target.

Talent Improvements

[Improved Seal of the Crusader] (3 ranks) increases the critical strike chance of all attacks against the target by 1% per rank. [Sanctified Crusader] also increases the critical strike chance of all melee and spell attacks by 1% and decreases the chance for seals to be dispelled by 33% per point.

Tips and Tactics

Using [Seal of Righteousness] after applying Judgement of the Crusader to your target will yield consistently higher damage. Judging Seal of Righteousness will not remove the Judgement of the Crusader.

While Seal of the Crusader is mostly useful for its judgement, the seal itself can be helpful when levelling weapon skill, espescially on slow two-handed weapon types.
