Ring of Emptiness

The build relies on a boosted 6pc Arachyr set (it is boosted even more in 2.4.3), Manajuma knife+mojo and Ring of Emptiness. The rest is pretty much optional. However, the setup is pretty solid as it is, so there is not much space for changes.

You need nemesis bacers to kill more elites, you need Bakuli Jungle Wraps to kill RGs.

There a couple of options, however:

1) Hellfire amulet for more useful passives + Stone of Jordan with Poison.

2) Unity instead of COE for more toughness.

3) Hwoj Wrap belt.It will proc Bane of the Trapped on each locust swarm "cast" by Wormwood and can increase trash clear speed on lower levels (T10 and below, GR50 and below).

If you feel you are lacking toughness = use Goldwrap or Unity. Goldwrap = Priceless item for "Nephalem" rifts. You can pretty much give up a lot of defensive rolls if you are killing things fast enough and gathering gold.

5th Passive is Spirit Vessel (if you die too much) or Tribal Rites/Jungle Fortitude/Blood Ritual

Build Guide

It's very fast and very straighforward. I've used it since 2.3, when 6pc Arachyr had much lower damage, and was not enough to one-shot elites even with 5 stacks of gruesome feast and soul harvest. Since 2.4, however, and especially 2.4.3 it works even better, with an even further boosted set. Eveything dies so quick, so fast.

Watch the video.

1) run around enemies in a chicken form spreading locust

2) explode only inside packs with elites to proc grave injustice

3) soul harvest to maintain 5 stacks as long as possible

4) gather health globes for gruesome feast 5 stacks. MUST DO!

5) Cast Haunt and Firebats to melt stubborn RGs and Elites.

Remember to be always on the move!
