+ 3 Random Magic Properties
Ring of Emptiness

SKILLS

Corpse Spiders - Spider Queen: Is the primary damage ability. Accepts all pet multipliers.

Haunt - Lingering Spirit - Used to proc Ring of Emptiness multipler.

Spirit Walk - Jaunt: Defensive cooldown for invulnerability and moving through packs of mobs

Hex - Angry Chicken - Hex is required to get the 50% damage reduction and 10% health per second healing from Arachyr set. The rune doesn't matter that much, but Angry Chicken allows you to move through mobs which is nice when spirit walk is on cooldown.

Firebats - Cloud of Bats: Used as a mana spender and to proc bracers.

Fetish Army - Legion of Daggers: Zuni's makes fetish army perma, so having an extra 3 pets is more bodies and damage and more survival from zuni set bonus.

PASSIVES

Not much to see here. Jungle Fortitude is a flat 15% damage reduction. Creeping death is to keep Ring of Emptiness Active. Other 2 are just for damage. Feel free to experiment.

GEAR SUMMARY

Arachyr - Head, Shoulders, Hands (4 pc from RoRG)

Zuni's - Torso, Legs, Feet, Ring, Off-hand (6 pc from RoRG)

Amulet - Hellfire Amulet: Used for the extra passive, I suggest Spirit Vessel. You can also run Flavor of Time.

Wrists - Coils of the First Spider: Coils is an active choice, it provides the same 30% defensive bonus as Lakumbas, but it also provides 30k healing per tick while casting firebats. Since this build relies somewhat on density and AOE damage, I worked this into the build for extra survival. Can be swapped for Lakumbas or Nemesis if you don't want to use firebats (doesn't do much damage, just used to tank)

Waist - Belt of Transcendence: This provides more fetishes for bodies, damage and survival.

Rings: Zuni (required for build) Ring of Royal Grandeur (required for build)

Main-hand weapon - The Spider Queen's Grasp: This is basically required for the 60% damage buff to spider queens. You could swap it out for Sacred Harvester and use Lakumba's to get an extra 30% damage reduction and more stats, but you lose a lot of damage and the build is already tanky.

Off-hand - Zuni (req for build)

LEGENDARY GEMS:

Simplicity's Strength: High damage on primary and some survival healing

Enforcer: Makes fetishes tanky and has high pet multiplier.

Bane of the Stricken: For Rift Guardian, can swap for whatever you want.

CUBE

Weapon - Wormwood: Used to proc ring of emptyness and allows the removal of locust swarm from your skills.

Armor - Mask of Jeram: 200% pet damage. (req for build)

Jewelry - Ring of Emptiness: 300% damage multiplier. The highest damage option for jewelry on a witch doctor. Makes up for the lack of good cube weapon.

SUMMARY:

This is a concept build, I haven't had time to test it's viability. On paper, there's a lot of value here, but I do have questions about some aspects of it like do multiple spider queen's damage stack or is it just increasing the area of damage? Also, would replacing Ring of Emptiness with Small Man's Finger to play a Garg version be better overall DPS? Not sure.

P.S. this build would be a LOT stronger in a season with Grandeur buff. There are several items that simply didn't fit because of the 2 sets. Depth Diggers alone would increase damage by 100%. If there is ever a double Grandeur Season, you could actually wear both full sets.

Let me know what you think.

Build Guide

Basically, the way you play this is:

1) You summon fetish army

2) You cast hex once every 15 seconds to keep the buff up

3) You spam spirit barrage to keep summoned fetishes at 15 stacks and to keep the Ring of Emptyness proc up

4) You keep your spider queen on the ground wherever you want to do damage (I'd just cast it at my feet wherever I'm channeling firebats)

5) Hold down firebats the rest of the time.

6) Use spirit walk and hex chicken to reposition.
