Gold Find

Core

Movement Speed - Max this until you hit the 25% cap on sheet.

Intelligence - After movement speed you'll start maxing your main stat for damage and some All Resist.

Vitality - Only add Vitality if you're having issues staying alive/getting 1 shot.

Maximum Resource - Max Resource is never a good stat for this build.

Offense

Crit Damage - It's typically easier to get a lot of crit chance on gear, so go crit damage first. You always want to balance the two.

Crit Chance - Crit Chance second unless you are just overloaded with crit damage on gear but not much crit chance.

Cooldown Reduction - Jade is very dependent on high CDR, if you're missing some CDR on gear you can max this before crit.

Attack Speed - Attack Speed will reduce the cooldown of Soul Harvest with the 4 piece Jade, as well as spreading your Haunts quicker.

Defense

Life % - Life % first, especially if you're getting 1 shot.

Armor % - You can always go Armor first as well if you feel you don't need the life on T13.

All Res - Intelligence gives you All Resist, so I typically max this after Armor.

Life Regen - By far the worst defensive stat, always max this last.

Utility

Area Damage - AD first, you should be able to group mobs tightly with Piranhado to benefit from this.

Life on Hit - LoH second

Resource Cost Reduction - Unless you're running Pierce the Veil, you really shouldn't have any mana issues.

Gold Find - Useless in Greater Rifts

Build Guide

Haunt: Poisoned Spirit

Poisoned Spirit will give you 20% increased damage against effected enemies. Another option would be Resentful Spirits to cast 2 Haunts at once(3 if you are wearing the Haunting Girdle.) I think both options are good and it's really up to personal preference.

Locust Swarm: Pestilence

Pestilence will allow Locust Swarm to spread very quickly, the current set up I've been running has The Furnace in the cube, but a more lazy version of the build runs Wormwood in the cube to cast Locust Swarm passively. Also, if you decide to run Vile Hive, this automatically gives you the Pestilence rune. If you decide to run Wormwood in the cube, its also an option to just drop Locust swarm from your skill bar completely and have the Womwood cast an un-runed version of the ability. If you do this, I would recommend running Zombie Dogs: Leeching Beasts on your bar for more sustain.

Piranha's: Piranhado

Soul Harvest has a very small radius, so grouping mobs very closely together with Piranhado is key to completing high level Greater Rifts quickly. This will also help you maximize your Area Damage.

Spirit Walk: Jaunt/Severance

Jade Harvester is a pretty squishy build, so I prefer the 3 seconds of invulnerability from Jaunt. Severance will allow you to move from pack to pack much quicker with the 100% increased movement speed. I think this is again, up to personal preference.

Soul Harvest

You get every rune of Soul Harvest with Jade Harvester, so it really does not matter what rune you run on your bar.

Horrify: Frightening Aspect

Horrify will give you a bit of Crowd Control but this is really there for the increase to Armor. Again, this is a squishy build, so you really need to maximize your toughness wherever you can.

- PASSIVES -

Creeping Death

Creeping Death reads that your Haunt and Locust swarm last almost forever, which is actually 3600 seconds or 1 hour. Your Soul Harvest will then consume 300 seconds worth of your DoT's.

Grave Injustice

Cooldown Reduction is one one of the most important stats in any Jade Harvester build. Grave Injustice will allow you to Soul Harvest much more often as well as group mobs more often with Piranhado. This also allows you to keep the armor buff from Frightening Aspect up much more often.

Confidence Ritual

You'll always be within 20 yards when you Soul Harvest Making Confidence Ritual one of the best damage buffs for the build.

Spirit Vessel

Spirit Vessel for a second life. It's possible to fish for a really great rift and drop Spirit Vessel completely, but again with how squishy the build is, I would not recommend it.
