Thanks to Toetag, here is some useful information:
GEAR:
Shoulders: The Invoker shoulders are probably the best bet for anyone that is using the upgrade to legendary option in the cube. They will always roll with thorns, and legendary affix on other shoulders isn't really that important.
Bracers - Strongarms are also an option. They're useful for groups or for solo if you're running condemn.
Gloves - St. Archew's give a bubble that is extremely useful, especially in higher GRs.
Weapon - Of the 3 main weapons listed, I personally feel that the Switmount is the easiest to farm into a perfect or close to perfect roll. with Swiftmount, you're looking for STR, VIT, CDR, AD, which is 4 stats. Rerolling the weapon damage to one of the stats you need is perfectly fine. With Dombringer, you want PHYS, STR, VIT, CDR, AD, which is going to be more difficult because of the %20 physical being optimal. The Sunkeeper is similar as in addition to the usual, you also need a good legendary property roll. (30% bonus dmg to elites) Swiftmount has a different playstyle than the other two which you may or may not like.
Shield - If you're looking to gamble for a Lidless Wall, use a barbarian. This is because as a crusader, you'll end up gambling for both non crusader shields, as well as crusader shields. Barbs can only roll non crusader shields.
BUILD:
There are many options on how you build. Consecration Bed of Nails, Divine Shield Divine Verdict, LoJ Decaying Strength or Immovable Object, LoH Hopeful Cry, are all good choices for the two slots that can be changed. Those are the Right Click and No. 3 slots on this build.
STATS:
You may not really see your sader take off until you reach enough CDR to make Akarat's Champion active on every physical roll around. I believe that number is 65%. Balancing stats is probably the most difficult aspect of this build as you have to sometimes save a new piece until you can use it without hurting your CDR, Phys, STR, VIT and AD too much. Thorns isn't as important on the armor slots that can't roll 9,500. Ultimately though, you'll want it on as many pieces as possible without sacrificing the more important stats.
GEMS:
Running STR gems or AR gems in your gear is usually going to be a personal choice. Many use a combination of the two as well and do fine.

cooldown management I don't usually go in inside mobs unless both in Indestructable(which you're not running with) and Akkarat is up.
How many of your gear pieces have you augmented with +main stat?
Thx for the tips. No augments yet.
Ancient Hellfire. Ideally, you want either Fervor, Indestructible, Finery, Lord Commander, or Iron Maiden for the passive. Vigilant, Divine Fortress, Long Arm of the Law, and Renewal provide some benefit, but aren't as nearly good.
The build is different on the planner link you have posted than what is posted here. Which is correct/most up to date?
Can't get past 81, badly needing an ancient litany and not enough paragon levels.
I need a help regarding this build. I have almost all necessary items (full ancient) but can barely do GR73. Low damage and getting killed so often, even with Esoteric (tried BoP gem, couldn't maintain buff due to deaths). I know I'm missing thorns and Bombard dmg % (plus w/e weapon), but can I somehow adjust my current build? Thanks in advance.

I was wondering, I see one of the choices is APD braces but where does the stun come in? Also I tried to find an answer but does blinded work as a stun like freeze does? I've also been using an ancient In-Geom which actually has been working out really well so far, thoughts?
Found a well rolled ancient belt of the trove today. Problem is it has a 8 second bombardment. Would anything more than a 6 second bombardment on the belt lower your DPS too much to really make it worth using? When you compare a 6 to 8 second bombardment, it is 25% less up time.
I'm also unsure if you are playing the spec correctly, you should be using all of your abilities when your CoE ring buff ticks onto physical, and while it is not, you should be gathering up mobs. You also only really want to stop for elite packs or to kill what ever is around when your ring hits physical.
Hope this helps.
I really like the look of this build, but my question is how do you generate wrath? I seem to be out of it the whole time.
Is it better to use Nemesis Bracer for higher grift or we can stick with Vambraces ?
I ask this because on higher grift, have elites/champions + a pylon that would spawn a champion would give us a lot of globes for progression.. no?
Hmmm, Would a decently rolled Heart Slaughter be viable despite the slow attack speed?
Hey just curious if people have confirmed which things do and do not snapshot.
Does Snapshot
Does NOT Snapshot (Is Dynamic)
If you drop the bombs; then do those things... all your bombs drop with no dmg.
Just curious with this build. do you need any block chance?
***To snapshot or not to snapshot***
Sup boiz. Couldn't find an answer full enough so i had to run some tests on mobs on T10.
So far my observations are:
- Iron skin & Akarat should be used BEFORE casting Bombardment if you want to increase it's damage.
- It is OK to cast Bomb. right BEFORE CoE switches to Physical (during last seconds of Lightning). When it will be on Phys. & barrels
start to land it'll do bonus dmg from CoE. So CoE seems to be dynamic.
- Consecration also seems to be dynamic. I casted Cons. under mobs & first 2-3 ticks hit them for like 15-20% of their HP. I then used
Iron Skin mobs instantly died from a billion tick. Same with CoE (casted out of Phys. phase - ticked for small dmg => When it switched
to Phys. - mobs instantly died).
TLDR:
As long as you pop Iron Skin & Akarat BEFORE casting Bombardment
& it's barrels land WHILE CoE is in Physical phase - you're golden.
