I have been playing with Invoker set until a few days ago when I hit GR70 with it. I always wanted to try LoN Bombardment but never had the luck. Recently I gathered up 10 Ancients gave it a whirl in GR65 with high hopes.
Turns out I'm way way way too squishy. Even some of those hard-hitting normal trash could oneshot me. I looked up on forums, youtube etc. and saw everyone had at least something like 150M toughness even without Caldesann's Despair, while I barely have 80M. I know my gear is far from optimal but I didn't expect it to be this bad.
this is my character. No Hellfire Amulet because I never got an Ancient with a decent passive after crafting dozens and dozens of these. I prioritized Ancients over stat rolls and BiS gear. I'm lacking Vitality in several slots, but that's pretty much the best I could afford as far as Ancients go. I have non-ancients versions of BiS items like Sun Keeper, Lidless Wall/Final Witness, St. Archew's, Illusory boots, etc, but I don't think I can miss any more Ancients than I currently do.
How am I supposed to get enough Toughness(how much, 130M? 150M?) AND get over 60% CDR at the same time? Am I just supposed to keep on farming until I get the best possible rolls on everything?
Gloves: missing Vit and Area. Also, St. Archews are massive survival increase because of the shield. The only gloves you use as this build for GRs.
Shoulders: missing Area and CDR.
Helm: missing % Life or All Res.
Belt: missing % Life.
Bracers: Need to get some Strongarms with Phys/Str/Vit/All Res ideally and drop Law for Condemn.
Weapon: missing Vit.
Shield: missing Vit and Bombard(or Physical if you had a Lidless Wall).
Boots: missing All Res(your boots are unrolled?!?!?! fix it?!)
Pants: Non ancient Hexing Pants are better than any ancient pants because its a seperate multiplier from LoN(btw current pants are unrolled you can get like 80 more str).
Chest: should have bombard instead of % Life but you had to get thorns but thats ideal when you can.
Rings: You really shouldn't have rolled Thorns on those rings. You HAVE to have over 60% cdr. Should be Str/AoE/CDR or Str/Vit/CDR first is better than second but you want either of those everything else is a worthless stat on ring.
Neck: You literally HAVE to have a Hellfire. I wouldn't bother without one. Not only is a cheat death strong. Crusaders cheat death is a dps increase. You are immune to damage for 5 sec and do 35% more damage. You play around your cheat deaths from that and Akarat's.
Skills:
That is the wrong Akarat's Rune. You have to use Prophet.
Drop Consecrations for Shield Glare: Divine Verdict for 20% damage increase. Also this helps you live too you can use it on CD basically long as it is also up for Phys Ring burn.
Gems:
Use All Res gems for pushing.
Outside Phys ring you should just be running around trying to take 0 damage. Also you can't play the build without 60% cdr(you really want 61% or so because of lag otherwise you can miss out on full phys ring bombard). You want to cast Iron Skin during Lightning Ring and bombard about 1 second before Phys ring > Shield Glare > Horse and rape everything. Make sure you are moving around the whole time because of Hexing Pants once you do get them.
