This is a speed build, spam Bone Spear, Bone Armor, and Devour. Corpse Lance periodically to get third stack of Nayr's or to focus elites. Use LoD on elites, When CD ends continue spamming Bone Spear to get back LoD. Rinse repeat. You can pick up Leoric's Crown if you do not use compass set and use RoRG instead. If you are just looking for max damage, you can also use a convention of elements; however, it is only up 1/3rd of the time, so I do not prefer this option when going for speed in favor of reliability.
