*This build is BASED on Thorns, so you want as much THORNS DAMAGE as possible!,

Good Information about HOW THORNS WORKS:

There is multiple good setups for Weapon/Shield, I'd recommend:
a) T10: DB + LW or AA
Solo Push: PS + AA
c) Grift Speeds: DB + AA
d) Grift Push: PS + VS or AA
* Having correct stats is the most important thing! So if your LW is perfectly rolled and ur AA is junk, then use ur LW.
** LW = Lidless Wall (shield) --- BTW a tip for all, if you need a better Lidless Wall, then craft it on a barbarian. Your 8 times more likely to get a Lidless Wall on a barbarian from blood shards and upgrading rares to legendaries with Death Breaths than on a crusader.
** DB = DoomBringer (weapon)
** PS = Pig Sticker (weapon)
** AA = Akarats Awakening (shield)

SKILL ROTATION: Law/Prophet > Iron Skin (Phys CoE) > Consecration > Punish

Great Tips / Suggestions for the build:
1. Use Iron Skin and Consecration / Bombardment when you have +200 % Physical dmg from CoE.
2. In order for Belt of Trove to use "Barrels of Spikes" rune you must have Bombardment equipped.
3. Most important part of Belt of Trove, is to keep up the 50 % DMG Reduction from (4) set bonus.
4. ... (make comment if u got suggestions)

Needs to be Tested (feel free to help test):
A) Sanguinary vambracers if they work with (2) piece invokers
B') Hack, if it works multipliactive with strg and how much % dmg increase it is
C) Omnislash belt, see if it makes Punish deal AOE dmg. Maybe even procs Hack.
D) Slash, use rune Zeal. Reaching 3 attack per second, might work with Hack!
E) Voy'Toyias Spiker, See if it works multipli- or additive. Works with skills or not? Better than arats awakening?
F) Iron Skin, if you use it before Consecration, does it work for 4 seconds or all 10 seconds?
G) Snapshot, is Iron Skin / Thorns dynamic or static?
H) Blood Brother vs. The Mortal Drama, which one is the best?
I) Block cap? Do we go way above block cap with Blood Brother?
H) ... (make comment if u got suggestions)

What are those nerfs you keep talking about ? Aren't you familiar with 2.4.1 patch notes? or you plain stupid? There was only one minor nerf to 2 piece set bonus (25 stacks max) after huge buff in 2.4.1.
This build was able to do GR80 in current state(2.4.0) before lvl 70+ grifts were nerfed (they cut quite some damage dealt by mobs). And before buffs on set (35% for stack 2pc and 800% thorns dmg on 6pc) were introduced. Do you understand that? What else you need?
MOD EDIT: Infracted. Please avoid to flame other users.
Now it work again. They fix it i guess.
Fantastic news Striphor.
Crusaders sux against the bunny :/
That build better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O3cmnDO5-4
just curious on your testing with hack. I currently only have hack and it is working great with my Invoker and was just curious if it is viable in the later rifts.
Figure I'll ask and see what sort of updates, if any, are needed for Season 9. This is still my favorite character to play but the specific guide is a little out of date
Passive Fanaticism vs Finery ? some ppl on leaderboards are using Fanaticism! and why ?
