I've been experimenting with different T13 builds before season 12 came out and went through nearly every build possible.. Sweep, Invoker, Akkhan variations including Blessed Shield. Speedfarming with Crusader was always a big problem. Crusader can't infinitely teleport, dash, vault or run as a chicken. The only mobility skill is Steed Charge but it does next to no damage in T13 and have no complementary legendaries except Swiftmount. On top of that, most crusader builds are pretty stationary and tanky, which really hurts clear speed.
Outside of LoN bomb and Norvald Akkhan Bomb there was never even remotely good builds that could clear T13 in 3 minutes. And to be honest i never liked bomb t13 variants, since it's always very annoying to wait for bomb animation. It literally takes forever. Also you need a lot of thorns rolls for that and speed will still be far from monk's or dh's.
With buffed Condemn gear it's now possible though. Like i mentioned before, i tried everything., and nothing, including Blessed Shield is close to Condemn in terms of clear speed and efficiency. I also looked at existing builds out there (and there's a lot of them i know) and unfortunately could not find them optimized enough. Some of them used generators, some relied purely on goldwrap to survive, some struggled with CDR.. Some demonstrated decent 3 min clears.. well.. without gathering anything. So in the end, like it usually happens i had to do my own build.
This build is pretty flexible, can definitely use Sages if you need DBs, can survive without Goldwrap and has no CDR problems. Also it gives me consistent 2-3 min clears, gathering all dbs, gems and legendaries with around 2 mill dps. Even with lower DPS it will be still effective.
I know you don't have a generator but wouldn't Focus + Restraint couple with Hexing Pants of Mr Yan better since you get constant 75% damage increase from casting Condemn on the move? With the Traveler's Pledge and SOJ potentially you could get 150% damage increase, but you barely get any damage increase from the Traveler's Pledge since this build is very mobile. I still think the consistent 75% buff from F+R (50% from using Condemn) and Hexing Pants of Mr Yan (25% coz you're always on the move) is better than TP (potentially 100% or NONE at all since you're always moving), and SOJ (20% elemental + 30% to elites). Ive used both setups and found that TP + SOJ would just give me the only buff from the SOJ most of time coz im always moving and even if i have to stop it would be like 1 or 2 secs which is not enough time for TP to kick in.

Well, if you want to waste a skill slot for generator in a speed build, then why not?
But keep in mind speed builds need to be effortless and mindless, you literally need to walk through things and watch them die without any slowdown.
I use Invoker set for T13 speed farm but Condemn builds are great as well. I tested both and the only difference is that Invoker is more of an elite hunter build while Condemn can obliterate trash mobs.
