The 4p bonus gives 50% DR for 20 seconds based on an ability that has a 60 second cooldown. My crusader with norvald’s set, captain crimson set and several reduced cooldown rolls still has a decent gap in uptime of the 4p bonus. Am I missing something here in maintaining the 4p bonus, or is this simply the reality of the build unless I go with a 1 hander + akarat’s awakening shield + fervor passive setup?
Do this. It results in more defense and DPS and no interruptions from Norvald’s. Invoker is mostly about Stricken.
I think Invoker was built assuming belt of trove…which precludes omnislash if you wear CC.
Could prob be remedied with tweak to 4P
No it doesn’t, it just means you need to put Bombardment on your ability bar and cast it at least every 20 seconds, as that’s how long the 4-piece’s mitigation buff lasts. If you’re using the Pig Sticker + Akarat’s Awakening shield, you’re blocking so often that the CDR from the shield means you can cast it on cooldown (every 8 seconds) if you wanted to.
