Hey everybody! This is, in my opinion, the fastest Torment 10 farming spec for the Witch Doctor class in patch 2.4.


GEAR


- Helmet: Quetzalcoatl


Doubles the damage of Locust Swarm.


-Shoulders: Corruption


Craftable shoulders that roll with 7 pick up radius as a secondary. Best option for builds that can't use Thing of the Deep or Avarice Band.


-Amulet: Hellfire Amulet


5th passive should be Grave Injustice for close to perma Fetish Army or Confidence Ritual for more damage,


-Chest: Aquila Cuirass


50% damage reduction while above 75-85% resource. You really don't spend mana in this build so you always have this damage reduction.


-Bracers: Nemesis Bracers


More Champions for more In-Geom Proc's and more Death Breath's.


-Gloves: Tasker and Theo's


50% more attack speed for pets.


-Belt: Harrington Waistguard


Huge damage buff when you click a chest/weapon rack/armor rack/dead body. Most of the time all you are doing is running around looking for clickables.


-Pants: Hexing Pants of Mr. Yan


Huge damage increase while moving. Never stop unless you are recasting pets or clicking and object.


-Boots: Fire Walkers


Fire damage from Fire Walkers gets buffed by Legacy of Nightmares, should be able to hit 250 million ticks pretty easy.


-Rings: The Wailing Host/Litany of the Undaunted(Legacy of Nightmares)


Every item needs to be ancient, it's more important that the rings are ancient then being properly rolled.


-Weapon: In-Geom


Close to perma Spirit Walk Severance with this buff, hitting around 200% movement speed most of the time.


-Offhand: Vile Hive


60% more Locust Swarm damage is the mojo gives you the Pestilence rune, allowing the use of Searing Locust on the bar for maximum damage.


Kanai's Cube


Weapon: Wormwood


Casts Locust Swarm on nearby enemies.


Armor: Mask of Jeram


100% more pet damage.


Jewelry: Short Mans Finger


3 smaller more powerful gargantuan's. Tall mans finger is also an option if you prefer the large zombie dog.


Legendary Gems


Bane of the Powerful: Large damage buff after killing the first elite/champion/goblin along with extra Elite Damage from the secondary


Zei's Stone of Vengeance: More damage to Locust Swarm as you move farther away from the mobs.


Bane of the Trapped: This will be proc'd in melee and by the cold gargantuan's, If you run the Hwoj Wrap variation, your locust swarm will proc this gem.


*Gem Alternatives*


Enforcer: More pet damage.


Boon of the Hoarder: More gold for empowering rifts and extra movement speed.
