The main 2 items that are different than most jade builds prior to 2.2 are the Convention of Elements ring and the Belt of Transcendence.

With the changes to Spirit Walk, having 15 fetishes from the belt tanking for you is very very good, also gives alot of single target damage.

You want to make sure you Soul Harvest at least once when the Convention of Elements ring rotates around to poison, you will easily get 4-5 Billion soul harvests this way. If you are running this ring over the Unity, you may want to consider running the Esoteric Alteration Legendary gem for more Toughness.

I prefer the Wormword to The Furnace right now simply because it free's up another ability slot, so you can run the revamped Hex which is great CC on elites. Mass Confusion: Paranoia is also an option.

I like a well rolled Countess Julia's Amulet to eliminate getting 1 shot by Jailer in high level greater rifts. An Hellfire Amulet to get Gruesome Feast as a 5th passive is also very good.

It's very important to get % Haunt damage on your shoulders and chest, can't select that in the builder for some reason.

Cooldown reduction is still very important, make sure to get it on your shoulders and gloves for sure, and possibly on at least 1 of your rings.

Build Guide

This build has a ton of damage potential, it comes down to staying alive with the spirit walk nerf. You have to make a playstyle change, you can't stay in melee range near as much as before.

The 15 fetishes from the belt will help alot with blocking and soaking damage, while giving you some great single target.
