You can get 7% CDR from most slots easily but you will need 1.5-2 slots (usually) to get 1000+ vit.
Based on that I will keep the vit.

No idea on bomb builds

That sounds like a good BoP.
Keep rerolling until u get high dps holy dmg. (Easier said than done tho. my reroll cost for my BoP is 1mil+ per try now -.-)

I can do T4 max (solo inefficiently) only, can't comment on T6 lol.

With regards to CDR, the efficient way to do it is max rolls on slots due to diminishing returns.

Example. 5 slots of 8 CDR will give u 34.1 % (sum 40%) but 6 slots of 7 CDR will give 35.2% (sum 42%) there is a 1% penalty, penalty grows as more slots are used.

I had a theorycraft for crafted crus gears (shit luck on crus. 150+ hours only 2 akkhan, don't think i will ever complete, but then again, no RoRG as well)

Chest - Born's Frozen Soul
Shoulder - Born's Privilege
Bracer - Aughild's Search
Helm - Aughild's Spike
Gloves - Cain's Scriviner
Boots - Cain's Travelers
Belt - Captain Crimson's Silk Girdle
Pants - Captain Crimson's Thrust


Bonus Exp - 70%
Regen - 2000
AR - 50
Life - 15%
DR Melee - 7%
DR Range - 7%
DR Elites - 15%
Elite Dmg - 15%
Attack Speed - 8%
CDR - 20%
RRC - 10%
MF - 50%

With Bonus x2 @ 10%, BoP 10%, Gloves, Shoulder, Shield, and 1 ring 8% and 12% gem, Paragon 10% you will get a 59% real CDR (55% if you lose 1 8% CDR slot) in total, have all the set bonuses, and yet still maintain a very respectable dps and toughness.

A real alternative to Akkhan as its firstly very hard to complete, and secondly hard to get good rolls on all slots.

Now if only RNG will give me that RoRG.

Disclaimer: Based on my limited understanding of mechanics as well. Correct me where I'm wrong.
Edit: Cain's 2pc can be replaced by Asheera's 2pc same slots for a lot more survivability at higher torment. Personally I'm aiming for efficient T4. T4 to T6 to do at the same level you need, survive double the dmg, deal triple the dps and only get double exp and gold. lol. So many things to achieve for seemingly not much additonal benefit.

For comparison, Cookie has 45% real CDR on top of his 50% Akarats.
So his real Akarat's CDR is 72.5% with 50% (possibly plus 10% paragon) cost reduction as well.

With brings us to calculate Manner's 20/22.95 @ 87% Akarat's uptime vs. 20/36.9 @54.2% Akarat's uptime.

Still a big difference in uptime :/
But I'm hoping good enough as we still have to move through packs. Def won't be as mobile as cookie.

Yup just watched his vid on BS.
Works well. Time to rest my WD and go back to crus lol
Too bad my jekang only 4 bounce.

No. I couldn't take another bite

great stats.
reroll lightning to holy should u chose to build holy

congrats

You don't get CDR in place of an elemental damage man. lol
Get the stat some other slot.

Use this as a guide

1.00% +Holy Skills Damage gives you 6,922.55 dps
Max 20% gives 138k
1.00% Critical Damage gives you 1,377.46 dps
Max 50% give 69k

You know which to choose

Huge nerf to AC incoming according to datamined patch @ diablofans

Rally : Each time you deal damage, there is up to a 50% chance to reduce the cooldown of your skills by 1 second. / Does not affectUsing Akarat's Champion reduces the remaining cooldown of your other abilities by 12 seconds.

My condemn crusader is dead.

Respeced it to shotgun crusader. Will be playing crus instead of WD for the new few days.
Imo, there's still value in Akkhan set, just need 4 pc bonus instead of 6.

Shotgun Crus

Finally got my shoulder (13k shards) and chest (300 shards) and also another pants and gloves.

One week of no Akkhan and suddenly 4 in a day lol.

Finally! They didn't roll the best. But oh well, an Akkhan is an Akkhan

Damn that SoJ is really nice

Many strong opinions here. Lol

I still use primary attack sometimes and I don't use reaper's wraps.

I feel that AS helps smoothen things up a little tho.
Feels less clunky.

But of course I'd u talk about dmg/resource spent. No AS is the way to go.

Still need my hellskull :<

-.-

The other way round for me.
Completed 6/6 Akkhan just 1 week ago and crusader was the class I started ros with.

Got full IK and EQ set in 3 days.
