Just a thought here -- playing with this modified Jade Harvester build using cold damage. Got rid of Locust Swarm because when you use Cloud of Insects rune, it turns that damage into physical. So trying to just use 1 type of elemental damage.

Same idea. Well rolled Frostburn and +cold damage are key.

Spam Haunt everywhere. Since we're sticking with cold, can use "Resentful Spirits" rune to send out 2 at a time. If you want to send out 3 at a time, equip a Haunting Girdle belt.

With Gazing Demise, you get the Phantasm Rune so that you can also have Manitou casting away a DoT thats also cold damage.

Then cast Piranha with frozen Piranha rune for damage amplification.

With all of this cold, hopefully proc's freeze proc's (50% chance), which then procs the Rimeheart 10000% damage (20% chance).

Then nuke for with soul harvest. And repeat.

Some thoughts:

1. If you don't need the added defense from Sacred Harvester (10 stacks vs. 5 stacks), you can swap out the Lakumba's for Strongarm and put a Furnace in the Cube. Also thought about Barber in the cube but not if that damage stacks.

2. Convention of elements ring is great for those 4 second but useless the rest of the time. You have a lot of freedom to put a different ring in there and a well rolled stone of jordan would be nice.
