Best way to gear up a Crusader before being able to use LoN

[samsmug]

I'm kind of stuck in an awkward phase right now with my Crusader where I'm hitting a wall around GR 54 and can't really go much higher while running Trinity. I'm trying to gather gear for the LoN set but this build seems to be really slow on T10 and can't do much more than GR54 with the gear I have. I'm still missing a Justice Lantern somehow, but everything else I have covered with somewhat less than optimal stats.

This is the build I'm running while trying to get gear for the LoN build:

Here is my current Invokers gear setup:

Should I be trying to run the Akkhan set with Norvalds Fervor and just run T10 with that non stop to get LoN? I've been feeding my Sader shards from my DH who is very geared but I feel like it would take forever if I did this all the way to the LoN set.

Anyways, I was hoping someone could give some guidance to get through this wall I'm stuck at. Crusaders seem extremely slow until they get to the point where they can use the LoN set.

This build isn't very gear heavy. Most of the items required are fairly easy to acquire. SoJ isn't super important, but helps. In-geom is the only thing that's "hard" to acquire.

Nvm works.


So this build will be able to stomp through T10? Is that the best way to gear up for LoN most likely? Or would it be better to try and push GR's as high as possible with this for the shards and bonus loot? Just trying to speed up the process and be as efficient as possible.

Yes the Norvald's build should do very well, assuming you have most of the gear. I would stay away from Invoker and just go from Norvald's to LoN when the gear permits it. A good time to switch to LoN is when you can do GR60's somewhat steadily. But until then, go with the Norvald's build. It's fast, and lets you go from pack to pack with 0 cooldowns thanks to In-geom.
