Diablo 3 Armor of Akkhan Thorns Bombardment Crusader Build

The bonuses that Armor of Akkhan gives are very versatile, which allows you to choose the skills that are most convenient for farming. By adding bonuses from the two parts Thorns of the Invoker and Captain Crimson’s Trimmings to the full set, we will get a huge increase in the damage of our main skill – Bombardment. As a result, we will get the top build for solo farming Greater Rift (with the ability to speed farm any content).
