If more toughness needed you can cube Aquila Curaiss.

Depth Diggers also adequate for cube for more on hit damage.

Blood Brother also viable for cube, but i prefer Akarat`s Awakening to make up for the cooldown reduction we lose when gearing for thorns damage. The Furnace is the option for more DPS.

I prefer Belt of the Trove to make use of the 4 piece bonus of Invoker, but String of Ears works as well. Omnislaught is the choice for more DPS and area of damage.

For rings im quite fond of the Unity trick plus the added block chance of Justice Lantern. Convention of Elements is the choice for more DPS.

Diamonds on every slot. A Topaz on Hack.

Works better then the regular Invoker Thorns for the new patches, in my opinion.

Great DPS and Great toughness from both set bonuses plus Unity and Justice Lantern.

Excellent for single target situations.
