*Updated 8/26 with new sets and Kanai's cube section

This Build focuses on using the Arachyr's set along with Manajuma's to create a creature build with a crazy exploding Chicken that just wrecks. There are similar builds on the site listing this build as a speed farming build, which I completely endorse and agree with however, I felt this build was so interesting I wanted to see how far it can go in Greater rifts. So here is my current build which I plan to push into the mid 50's or higher. The video below will demonstrate a GR48 which was the worst GR I could have asked for.

Gear:

F&R

Easy to keep up with toads, piranhas, and siphon

Hellfire Ammy

I am running Int, CHC, CHD, Spirit Vesel passive

Play style:

Start with a piranha to gather mobs together

run in and use soul harvest for the armor stacks

use hex and run into the group with your angry chicken and explode everything

Spirit walk if need be to get out of a group of mobs which you didn't explode

Use toads as a filler when hex is on CD or when you need some crowd control with the confuse.

Changes I still want to test

I was using the paladin follower for the heal but I want to do some testing with the sorc to see how her confuse and cc can help. I also will probably be swapping out Bane of the Powerful for another defensive gem as the GR's get above 50+

I feel the chicken is underwhelming for anything higher than T7 :/
