5th Hellfire Passive = Fierce Loyalty but really your preference
Best set that I can figure out to farm death breaths with, been at this a few days based off a different build. This is my first build upload, please feel free to give me comments or recommendations.
Voo's juicer I think is really the way to stay alive with a Zuni's build. Gives you tons of mana and health back from runed Spirit Barrage. Amulet and shoulders are really up to you. You could not take Nems but it does make them faster. Everything else is basically required, could get rid of Belt and not use Starmetal/Big Bad Voodoo if you don't end up needing the mana. Pretty easy to run this build in both groups and solo. Was actually surprised I was getting kills over some decent paragon leveled pubbies all night last night and you can kill a solo pack in a 4 man rift pretty easily (Note: At least I can but every piece that I have in this build is ancient. Would like to know how normal/ancient mix would do)
The other build I built this off of had the damage and some great slows with infinite wall of deaths and a bane of the trapped but once the lighting and arcanes started I could get taken out if I wasn't paying very good attention. And let's be honest this is for deaths breath I have other builds that can destroy T10 I just want to cruise through mindlessly and pickup deaths breath. Have had good luck staying alive and laying out plenty of damage with this setup in both groups and solo.
This build works very much like firebats/gargantuans which really suits my playstyle and what I'm used to as I'm really enjoying that build (also props to the guy with the poison dart build). Walk up, toss down a piranha and a voodo and just hold left click while the spirit barrage flies. The mana and health regen from Voo's juicer passive with Zuni's and the rest of the required items is really the only thing I can think of properly utilize the Sage's set.
Let me know if you guys can come up with anything better that uses the Sage's build.

Edit: Just updated this a little bit for the new patch. Let me know what you think. I spend 95% of my time walking behind a demon hunter picking stuff up in T13 right now so I might as well be a little faster and get more death's breath.

I like it, I made a similar design I call Voo's Smoothie Machine. Easy DB Farming. Didn't think of the shoulders-great idea for larger pick up range!
This is just a zuni pet build using the shitty voo knife.
@Justice_one I want to congratulate you on that keen eye of yours.
@OP Fun build, was looking to try something like that. With my current gear I oneshot with my Jade on T10 while running the Manajuma set for fast chicken. You think this is faster? Would love some video.
EDIT: Sage doesn't fit in my build. Would need to sacrifice Ring of Emptiness for RoRG, don't think it will work without that.
Is midnight feast better than fierce loyalty (speed boost)?
Also: the speed rune on spirit walk isn't fast enough...?
@Justice-One I've spent a decent amount of time running this set and in my experience zuni's set is way worse than that weapon is. Weapon is only thing I can think of to make the set viable. What are you running with a sage/zuni's set?
@Keirul Just finished making my chicken WD last night. Chicken is way faster, no denying that. Hell with the exception of my support this is my slowest T10 clearer, Darts, Chicken, Gargs/Bats all better. BUT when I'm in a pinch and need DB, I hop on this guy, join a pub, and just run around picking stuff up sometimes catching up to the main fight sometimes not. Could clear solo but group is faster and I'm not useless.
Also I've switched rain dance for Slam Dance and now only sort of have to watch my mana, worth. Dropped Esoteric for bane of the trapped after getting enough survivability. If I'm going into a vault I use this guy and just cube broken crown instead of Mask of Jeram to stock up on gems.
Never drop midnight feast, that's a huge boost to your Gargs damage and they're most of your damage. If you want Fierce Loyalty I'd just get one of the others on a hellfire and use it. Currently using Spirit Vessel, Midnight Feast, Fierce Loyalty, Grave Injustice, Confidence Ritual.
If you find yourself in a normal rift group trying to catch up to a high paragoned Crusader you're going to wish you had every speed boost available.
you cant run sage/zuni with manajuma. need the mojo. you only get a dagger slot here. You might not be as experienced as you think.
i like the build. i've been wanting to do a sage/zuni for a while, and wanted to see something use voo's as well. this does them both nicely imo. build worked great!
tested one hour straight farming last night. decent group for the first half, better for the second. 300 breaths in one hour. 362 within like 10 more minutes. very nice.
+1 ^.^
You forgot to add Aughilds bracers as the alternative for if you are using the shoulders. The protection and dps you get from that set is worth the loss of nems and the shoulders IMO. You can also wear Mask of Jeram, cube the Belt of Transcendence, swap sages gloves for belt, and use zuni gloves. That would be the same as the setup shown about but it is not recommended unless you manage to get a perfect Mask of Jeram. TBH I think I prefer my multi shot sages deaths breath build because it is easier to use and it seems to clear a rift faster for me than this does but I have also had more practice with it then I have with this.
