U are supposed to get almost infinite wrath or ? i have 32% cooldown yet i cant keep wrath up as much as i can with the ik weapon what am i missing ? because if i use ignore pain it switches to reduce cooldown on that right? but i have to use ignore pain and i still die like crazy on greater rift 49 becasuse i cant keep up wrath... i dont understand this.
I believe he means WotB and not the resource of the Crusader.
I'm also going to assume that you aren't using IK4 (as there is little need for zodiac with it for perma-wrath).
With that out of the way, what is the rest of your build. Zodiac works by randomly picking a skill that is on cooldown and reducing it, thus if you have a bunch of cooldown gated skills on your bar (CotA, IP, EQ, etc), it's going to be relatively difficult to achieve consistent perma-wrath, as you are competing with each of those other skills for every zodiac proc.
The other thing is that you have to hit with a resource spending attack. This means that only resource spenders (HotA, WW, SS, etc) will proc the ring, and that you have to hit an enemy for the zodiac reduction to occur. This will occur once per attack, so you are also gated by attack speed (which the IK weapon is relatively slow for).
How much CDR you need to achieve perma-wrath (or close to it) depends on:
1) How many abilities are on cooldown
2) Attack speed
3) Fury generation (if you run out of fury and can't use a spender, you can't proc zodiac)
Pretty much exactly what TheTruthAbounds said, However here is what yu need to hit to maintain perma WotB (stop calling it wrath, "wrath" is a sader resource, since vanilla it has been called WoTB)
You need 40% natural CDR and extra (Gogok of swiftness gem = IAS and CDR = a must) remember pain enhancer was nerfed it no longer snap shots OR YOU WONT IN 24 HOURS WHEN 2.3 HITS.
Pop IP only when the duration is done.
Density is also key. if your grift have zero density you will drop out of WoTB.
It will reduce the cooldown of a skill by 1 second. So, if you have 1 skill on cooldown then it will reduce the time for that item. If you have two skills on cooldown, then it will choose one of the skills and apply the proc to that.
If you get max cooldown on on all gear (including BK weapons), paragon, and use the boon of bul-kathos, then you will be down to about 21 seconds with Wrath on cooldown. It won't take long for the zodiac to freshen that up before you can use it again.
Hm i have 38% cooldown, around 536% crit damage.. i did a gr46 now with only 3 min and 36 seconds left... so somerhings not right i dont get it ? i did a gr 49 with my ik weap and plenty of time left.. i used gems gogkok lvl50 and taeguk lvl 53, amu is a nice maras with %phys dam but no socket.
But i feel for some reason i dont much damage when i go with bk weapons, one is 2900 dam ancient the other 2100 but has 10% cooldown but still feels like i cant keep up Wotb long enough and i die too much simply cooldown never has time to kick in so i can keep it up.. so far im a little dissapointed in the ring i thought it would help more then it does, so far it does not or maybe i need more time play the bk weapons simply..
But if im not supposed to use IP to much then i will just keep die and die... so whats the use of that one then? when u do a greater rift it gets kinda confusing u must spend time look at what skill is on cooldown and active instead of killing monsters this also takes away my attention and kills me..
Oke did a gr 48 with like 1 min 30 sec.. so its still not upto my record with ik weap but have a look at my setup and see what u think.. i still think its one of my bk weapons thats garbage but other then that its not much i can improve really...
Only War Cry every 60 sec. Only Ignore Pain right before it falls off. Only Call of the Ancients in dire situations you are about to die in or you know will be painful(like 50 mobs + an elite or 2).
You want 10% CDR on both weps, 8 on shoulders, gem in helm, paragon points at least and obviously on your Zodiac.
Drop RRoG for Unity(convention is fine till like low to mid 50s, but unity will make those even more joke status.
Get some real bracers like Lacunis with phys/ias/crit.
Also, get a new neck with a socket for Bane of the Trapped its too good to not have.
I dont know but i did atleast now a 50 with my ik weapon so i think for now that works better for me, almost 3min left im proud of myself.. i dont think i would able do that with bk weapons.
Remove rorg, use call of the elements ring or unity instead.
Use a socketed amu, with bane of the trapped (separate multiplier).
Dont use yan's pants until kanai's cube, use the wastes pants instead.
Use a breakpoint AS calculator online, an weight your AS, critchance and crit dmg. Aim for a 10:100 ratio.
Yeah i know, its just that royal is ancient has 11k life per hit and 50%crit dam thats why i used it, and i dont have a good immunity amu with sockets either... oh well.
In that screenshot you have 4 abilities on cooldown. That's your problem. Dump CoTA, save Ignore Pain for emergencies. Get Unity as your cubed jewelry (now you can save IP). Use Rend instead of CoTA, Use Swords to Plowshares if you need more healing.

Hope that helps clarify things a bit.
This works, but only if you really go for it.
Diamond in Helmet
10% cdr from paragon
Gogok of Switfness rank 50
Decent attack-speed and cdr on gear where applicable
Boon of Bul Kathos passive
Zodiac Ring equipped
Both 1h set weapons equipped
Restrain yourself from using other abilities like ignore pain and Battlecry frequently

Immunity amulet really doesn't mean much tbh.
You don't need LoH if you had Unity. You would take 50% less damage at all times.
yes i know but im jealous of those that can have 3 gems and perm immunity u know ?
