Build Guide
The entire specc is based on the "law of hope - hopeful cry". When combined with bombardment, the area dmg tics from the bed of nails, dmg tics from the swiftmount, it will start raining globes... All the squishy bombbuilds you've seen are all gone and we are now facetanking almost anything that's not onehitting us.
The spec is bursty, usually you just circle around and pull the mobs together. Then you put out the bed of nails in the middle of the battlefield for the globes to start raining and wait for for the big CoE, ironskin and bombardment smash to work their magic.
At ~80s I dont even use isoteric and still can run 8-10min speedruns with bane of the powerful for more dmg and faster clears. I'll uppload some more videos soon with more commantaries. If you can't wait I will have my stream up going at gamenights

My gear is far from perfect, I still miss out on thorn dmg on ~6items and so on... So there is a lot more potential in this build than I've managed to squeeze out of it this far.
At the time writing that gave me EU 5. It took me about 10-15 tries and i am "only" Para ~1000. Once out on the field this is more fun than all the "hit and run" builds out there. I have tried this build some in groups and it might be working even better there. The globes that flies around are at least 5 times more the amount from the once comming from a general globebarb.
Any questions about me, my build or so on? just comment here or at my twitch page
Thx

Hi what passive do you use on your hell fire amulet and any tips on how to role for ancient one thanks like the build and am running it at the moment i cleared a 63 but not all my gear is ancient yet 7 at the moment
hi again and any game play tips would be much appreciated thanks keep up the good work
I think wearing the heart of iron is a better choice if you get a good one, because it always rolls thorns damage. I agree that doombringer is overrated; but would you think the switftmount is better versus a nicely rolled sunkeeper?
I think sunkeeper if you have enough cool down that 30% damage to elites looks very nice
The skelly shoulders cannot roll as you suggest. They roll vit, armour and main stat as standard and therefore could at best get CDR and either bombardment or AD. I still think they are BiS and would trade the AD for vit.
Also, despite the COE being an elemental dmg boost it actually multiplies the elemental bonus from gear. By that I mean if you have 40% physical on gear when COE cycles it provides 320% physical total.
I've been lucky enough to roll a 30/10 sun keeper and a 19/23/9 doom guard I'm really not sure which is best but am leaning towards the sun keeper. It may be the best weep for Lon bomb overall.
Looks like a great build, thank you for the share and inspiration. Im currently rocking a 550 HC Season Thorn Sader but I wonder if those of us who are still rocking Invoker are doing it wrong lol - is LoN the best way to go?
Hi Flytkorken,
Thank you so much for the build. I have been playing it for the past 6 or so hours and it feels great.
Comfortably farming 70-75s in ~8-14 mins. My gear is very mediocre at best (only 9/13 Ancient, only augmented 2 items, meh stats/rolls). Previously I was playing the standard LoN that Alkaizer was running and my best clear was 72 in jsut under 15 mins . I prefer this build and since switching to this have now done a 75 in 14 mins and can do 72 in under 10 mins.
I played around with my character to try and get it clearing faster in a similar build to yours. Observations I made: The 30% skill bombardment damage on Chest/Shoulders makes a huge difference. The secondary thorns on your gear makes an even bigger difference. I only had thorns on 2 of my items so went searching and rerolling and now I have 4. It makes a huge difference and is a very underrated stat.
My favorite thing about this build is it gives me hope for the future that perhaps in a few weeks, LoN Globe Sader can fit well into the 4 person meta. I'm sick of not getting into groups even for speed 65-75s because I want to main a crusader.
Once again, thanks for the build.
Cheers,
Power
Hey! Can you explain why the bombardment dmg on the shield is slightly stronger than the physical dmg increase? Thank you
I am thinking of using a build like this for a team support. I want to drop the steed, do you think slash, punish or sweeping can replace it? Any thoughts?
Would be awesome if you could have worked a razor strop into the build but alas we can't have everything lol
