Build Guide
This is a very fast bounty farming build that aims to max out your movement speed while also maintaining high damage consistently in 4 player split farming groups. Maximum movement speed that you can achieve with this build is 380%!
Here's a rundown on all the movement speed buffs you can gain:
25% standard
25% Krelm's Belt
150% Angry Chicken
50% from 10 stacks (with Sacred Harvester cubed) of Soul Harvest - Soul to Waste
50% from Warzechian Armguards in the cube (lasts for 4 seconds, and your Angry Chicken will break things as you run through them)
30% from Boon of the Hoarder
50% from Spirit Walk - Jaunt
All of these add up to 380% movement speed, and can be reliably active for ~80% of your running time aside from Spirit Walk. Warzechians and Boon of the Hoarder procs will depend on the maps you get and how many times you stop to kill enemies to get gold from, but the 80% buff there helps a lot. You'll want to pop Spirit Walk right before you activate your Angry Chicken for the 3 seconds of 50% increased speed, though it's almost overkill anyways. You're often moving so fast that you can't actually tell where you're going.
The 5th passive to aim for in your Hellfire Amulet can be any one of Pierce the Veil, Confidence Ritual, Gruesome Feast, Grave Injustice, and Spirit Vessel.
For the cube, Sacred Harvester is very important as it gives you 5 more stacks of Soul Harvest - Soul to Waste, which means 15% more intelligence and 25% more movement speed. Ring of Royal Grandeur is cubed since Convention of Elements is overkill in T7 splits, and you want to be able to wear The Grin Reaper since the spells they cast add a lot of damage. Since you're wearing a Grin Reaper, you can now cube Warzechian Armguards for an additional burst of 50% movement speed while you're running between locations. If you find that your damage is too low (lack of ancient weapon/gear) you can just cube the usual CoE and The Grin Reaper while wearing a Helltooth Mask.
For combat, you explode your Angry Chicken and cast Soul Harvest in large groups to get your stacks up, while throwing Spiders and an Acid Cloud to activate F/R. Then you just spam Firewalls and whatever you were fighting is probably dead now. Then just activate Angry Chicken and move on to the next thing.
I prefer Helltooth over Arachyr's set since the damage is more consistent as you don't do as much damage as Helltooth without your Angry Chicken explosions which can often be on cooldown. The same gems, skills, and gear can be applied similarly to that set though if that's your preference.

Posted Sep 29, 2015This is true if you're playing solo, but if you're running in groups (as you should be in bounties), I often find that your Hex - Angry Chicken explosion cannot 1 shot the HP buffed monsters, even with a poison CoE cycle up. You're then left with a long Angry Chicken cooldown and having to stand there to spam Firebats anyways. Another downside to it is that your Angry Chicken often outlasts your F/R buff uptime, meaning your explosions can be super weak.
HT is just more consistent damage that is less reliant on 1 shots and slower Locust Swarm DoTs.
