Hey guys my name is Carthh and I wanted to show you the Witch Doctor speed farming build I will be using in Season 4 that focuses on the updated Manajuma set bonus. The build is slightly reminiscent of the Dashing Strike speed farm monk build in the sense that you are constantly spamming your cooldowns with an intermittent primary skill to proc F&R. It could also certainly be compared to Jade as it has very similar skills with Piranhado, Soul Harvest, Spirit Walk, and Grave Injustice, with Hex being your nuke.
The first thing we will cover is what to put in the cube. You have a couple options you can go with and personally I feel like the first option is much more consistent at this time.
Cube 1: The Furnace, Leoric's Crown, Convention of Elements
Cube 2: In-Geom, Hexing Pants, Convention of Elements
These are two of the strongest cube combinations I have found so far, each setup includes two things: Extra CDR (Leoric's Crown/In-Geom) and Extra Damage (Furnace/Hexing Pants). The Furnace/Leoric's setup is very consistent and reliable while the In-Geom/ Hexing Pants setup is more reckless but can be much faster and contain more burst. Convention of Elements can be good at times but the main reason for its inclusion is the lack of other good jewelry options. The only really other strong option would be changing it to Ring of Royal Grandeur and then equipping which ever other armor piece you don't have cubed, Leoric's or Hexing Pants. Although Convention can lack at times, the window it gives you with 200% more poison damage can really help clear out large troublesome packs or speed up the Rift Guardian kill time.
Let's move on to the main attraction, the skills. The build is very straight forward, you have Piranhado to round up the mobs and proc FR, Spirit Walk to get into melee, Soul Harvest for a damage and move speed boost, and Corpse Spiders to proc the other half of FR, and Hex to finish the job. The final piece to the build is the passive Grave Injustice, which allows you to almost instantly refresh all cooldowns after exploding with Hex.
Taking a look at the skills on our bar, there is one that feels a little out of place, Firebats. In reality, you will rarely use this skill, but unfortunately there are times that come up where it is needed. For the most part, Piranhado will cover the first half of Focus and Restraint with your base cooldown and Grave Injustice, but for the rare occasion where Piranhado is not off cooldown and you need to proc FR, you can use Firebats. The only situation where you will find you need to utilize Firebats is if your hex doesn't kill enough targets to reset the cooldown or you are fighting the rift boss. So if you ever find yourself standing around with no cooldowns, Firebats is your answer. This also tends to favor not choosing hexing pants in the cube.
