Roation: You want Bombardment to be ready for every-time that Convention of Elements is ready (every 16 seconds). Lord commander reduces it's cooldown by 35 % and original CD is 60 seconds. So that's 0.65 * 60 = 39 seconds. Then 1-16/39 = 58,97. So you want ~59 % CDR... but since we're human beings, I'd highly recommend at least about 60,5 or 61 % + CDR.
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.

You say the playstyle is different when using swiftmount, can anyone explain how?
Using The Mortal Drama and cubing The Furnance isn't a good idea?
For LON Thorns SPEED Bounty Build which weapon is better?
1) DOOMBRINGER + LIDLESS WALL
(TOTAL Physical skills deal 40% more damage)
(with SWIFTMOUNT in the cube)
Vs
2) SWIFTMOUNT + LIDLESS WALL
(with In-GEOM in the cube)
Hello draque,
I have a few question about this build.
1. What is the cooldown we want? Is it 62 % or 67%? I am playing with swiftmount.
2. When I used some skill like akarath champion or iron amor (with rune for 300% thorn damage) I see red number. Are red number the bigest number with can get at that time or is it crit damage? Some player mention this build could not crit?
3. If we are to choose best stat for shoulder: do we choose 1. Strenght, vitality cooldown reduction and bombardement damage? And what is the best between Strenght and vitality? With heart of iron can we forget about strenght for damage or both strenght and vitality provide same amount of damage? Depending of your answer I might change the enchant I will used on my item.
Thanks in advance for your help and sharing your knowledge.
