Since I run Roland's on my main crusader, I've been wanting something to farm T6 faster because shield bash is overkill and terribly slow. Plus it's annoying to have to switch gear/skills every time I want to run T6 rifts.
So far I'm clearing the RG in 6 mins which is pretty good I think because there is definitely room for improvement in her gear(like the terrible Darklight ><)
Yes if you don't get a rift that's packed with monsters it's slow. And as I said you'll have to switch skills and gear around to make it work better which is something I wanted to avoid.
Generally I do clear out the rift(not every last monster mind you, but clear until you get the teleport pylon), so having a build that kills stuff passively as you run around saves time.
Usually you have to make swaps in gear/talents for good speed farm potential. The bash build I listed as well as the mat build that was just written would pull an RG in a minute for a good rift or so, 4 for a bad rift. Multi level/empty. I've had T6 RG up in 40s, which isn't awful for a crusader considering I'm used to 30s-70s on my dh/barb. Fastest pull was in a graveyard, 40s with a conduit pylon, and every last mob was dust eater. I'll never see that again, which is why I say 70s is more realistic and that's in an optimal rift. Sub optimal max time is 4-5 minutes, depending on number of levels and mobs.
I've used a condemn and FoTH build for clears and I've tried several different rolands setups, it is really hard to match the double mobility of steed charge and bash. Not wanting to swap gears is holding you back bro, my dh/barb with gr setup lose around 1:30 on a t6 time with decent density. Swap to a speed farm build and RG's are up in a minute or less.
If you don't want to swap around etc. that's a personal preference, if you like the foth skill that again is a personal preference, however you're slowing yourself down. That being said I can appreciate the fact you enjoy FoTH setups, I spent the first 5 months I played Cruz ripping up T6 with that skill and firestarter/darklight before the nerf that is. Fissure is fun to play with as well, you can get the whole screen to be an electric chair for mobs.
I appreciate your input Raz. Like I said, part of my goal was to avoid having to switch gear and skills as I've more than once forgotten to switch back to my grift build and then started a rift only to have realize that I have the wrong stuff >< I'm also not out to set records with clear times and I think 5 mins to kill the RG is pretty good. I do enjoy the FotH skill as its fun filling the screen with lightning. Running this build also makes use of gear you likely already own and get's it out of your stash(and I know we all have stash problems lol)
Yeah I hear you Ace, I've had to toss a few 58 gr keys for forgetting to swap skills on my barb which hurts like a bitch. I only have time to farm trials one or two times a week at this point. The issue of time goes to moot if you're ok with times to rg and you generally have more fun with the FoTH setups, you have to actually enjoy what you're farming with otherwise..urge to log... XD.
If you want to add some punch, I'd suggest harrignton waistguard for chests, if I remember right using the "fervor" passive you have the available cdr for perm AC without needing a Vig belt. Between that and F/R or SOJ/Convention you should find that you move along quite well. Happy zapping XD.

So this is the build I created http://www.diablofans.com/builds/53156-avatars-of-the-heavens-t6-speedfarm
Profile I'm running it on http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Acebaur-1878/hero/53104807

C&C welcome, happy farming!
Shield Bash slow? Huh? Whu? Literally one-shotting packs and RGs and charging from pack to pack is slow? oO
It's not optimal if you want to clear out the entire Rift, sure. But just for pack farming it's amazing.

Yeah FoTH is fun for sure, fondly remember spending my first few months on crusader with that skill.
Hopefully they add a new set based around it next season.
