The build relies on a boosted 5pc Arachyr set, Manajuma knife+mojo and hexing pants. The rest is pretty much optional. However, the setup is pretty solid as it is, so there is not much space for changes. You need nemesis bacers to kill more elites, you need witching hour for more sheet and DOT damage. You need hellfire amulet for more useful passives. You need both DPS rings = Soj and COE for more passive "DOT" damage. You don't really need to cast anything except Soul Harvest and Angry Chicken.

If you feel you are lacking toughness = use goldwrap. Priceless item for "Nephalem" rifts. You can pretty much give up a lot of defensive rolls if you are killing things fast enough and gathering gold.

5th Passive is Confidence Ritual indeed.

Build Guide

It's very fast and very straighforward. I've used it since 2.3, but 6pc Arachyr had much lower damage, and not enough to one-shot elites even with 5 stacks of gruesome feast and soul harvest. On 2.4 PTR it worked like a charm though, with a boosted set. Eveything died so quick, so fast.

I tested it 2.4 Live and did many 40Grs under 2 minutes(!) and 45Grs under 3 minutes many times.

1) run around enemies in a chicken form spreading locust

2) explode only inside packs with elites to proc grave injustice

3) soul harvest to maintain 5 stacks as long as possible

4) gather health globes for gruesome feast 5 stacks.

5) Spam haunt and manual locust/firebats when Hex is on cooldown. RG dies

Firebats are there ONLY to help with the RG and nasty elites.

Remember to be always on the move to abuse Hexing Pants passive.
