gems?

Since this looks like a small update of http://www.diablofans.com/builds/69839-2-4-jade-harvester-80-grift-build I bet it's still Bane of the Trapped, Bane of the Stricken and Esoteric Alteration. Probably posion dmg % on wrist and amulet instead of cold.

Looking forward to seeing a video about this. And know what made you change from Henri + Belt of Transcendence. To me it feels a lot tougher to survive with this new build when I try it. Thanks for all the fun WD builds!

thank you

I swear, whenever a new season launches this kid just throws up as many builds as possible and begs his stream viewers to up vote them, its clear he didn't test them and half of them are builds other people did months ago and he's just reposting like it's his own.

It's already proven last season that vile hive is a net loss when used over henri's. Haunting girdle is also a worse choice when BoT gives you a meat shield the mobs have to get past to kill you.

I mostly agree. I mean, if people are going to post builds, at least post recommended stats, along with gems, etc.

I agree that Henri's seems like a much better choice, given that if you pick this build up as-is, your survivability is next to none in T10.

C'mon people, if you're going to post something, put some effort into it.... Regardless, I am enjoying JH, and have had to tweak a couple of things here and there, but it definitely does wreck at times, at least through T10.

The Diablo fans builder was extremely buggy the first day it was updated. Everything is put up now. Half of the items you couldn't even add into the builder. I focused on the builds that are actually legit pushing builds, which Jade really isn't.

I apologize for this build being half assed.

I also tested just about every build possible on the PTR, so to act like I have zero experience with these builds is just a flat out lie.

With the nerf in monster damage in 70+ GRIFTS, Vile Hive/Haunting Girdle actually became viable. That's not to say that Henri's/BoT isn't also a great option.

You do realize that myself and Steamingpolak did probably 100's of GRIFTS on the 2.4 PTR, which I had a build video guide for, for that patch.
Nobody is acting like these builds are "Their's", anybody with half a brain can figure out the best set ups for each class.
Because monster damage 70+ was nerfed this patch, Haunting Girdle/Vile is much more viable. With that said, BoT/Henri's is obviously still a great option.

I'm in the process of getting all the builds updated with written guides and videos, but again when the builder first launched this season it was extremely buggy.

You obviously have a problem with me and that's fine, but I see nothing wrong with asking viewers to upvote the guides if they helped them.

If you watch this video and honestly still don't think I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to Jade Harvester, then you are just a troll. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t4pVqCfWBk

shouldn't you get the "Swallow Your Soul" poison rune for Soul Harvest so it does poison damage instead of cold? You already get all runes due to the set bonus so this change would add a bit more damage to the build.

Your soul harvest does do damage, it's one of the runes. Swallow Your Soul will add a small amount of damage if you're trying to min-max it.

.......ok sure technically it deals damage because of this, but you aren't ever going to buff Swallow your Soul to min max. It deals a extremely tiny amount of damage, way less than even 1 tick of Locust Swarm.

What are you even arguing about? There's literally no reason NOT to take the free extra tiny bit of damage by running a poison rune. You gain absolutely nothing by running Languish since you get the effect either way, so run Swallow Your Soul instead.

Hi

It's the first time I'm pushing GR's since the launch of RoS and the highest I've done so far is GR68. Can't Do GR70+ and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I can clear trash at a descent pace but I lose soooo much time on the rift boss (like 4 mins sometimes) and fail because of the timer. I really like this build but if feels so shitty against bosses as you can't get SH stacks (inless you have a boss with adds which works in our favor). Also Grave Injustice becomes useless to.

I also feel like Esoteric alteration isn't helping at all. Wouldn't mutilation guard or even invigorating be a better option as we're mostly in close/melee range for SH stacks? Hell, maybe even wildebeest for the regen.

Here is my profile:

Or is simply the reason I can't do GR70+ because I'm missing some ancients? Or don't have poison dmg on my amulet yet? Anyways, would love some tips and feedback on this.

hey im not sure but your ring is wrong to and element + gift is a big damage boost! and when you dont have furniture in cube its normal that a boss take more time. and you dont need wormwood when you have pestilence in locust swarm!

@j_macc: why the belt of transcendence? why not haunting belt? is it a big difference?
i completed with this build (hauting in case of trans) 70 solo, with only 1 ancient i think. i really want to run 75 for my last missing achievment in saison journey. maybe you / or someone else have an advise for me? http://eu.battle.net/d3/de/profile/shoninya-2195/hero/77277124

guess all I needed was some augments, done GR75 yesterday with only 4 augments and no CoE so I imagine I can do GR85 once I'm fully augmented and with CoE. It's funny that there is almost no one on top1000 with this build. They all seem to run with helltooth/garg (which is a boring ass build if you ask me). So I guess when I will finally be on the leaderboards I'll be nr1 jade harverster WD lol.

I'm only on grift 63 so far, and I'm a relative newbie, but I'm running a couple tweaks to this build and wanted to know what you (or anyone) think.

Notable differences:

• Wormwood in cube. I have a really hard time making sure to have proper uptime on locusts manually, it's really nice to be able to have it autocasting. 50% less damage on bosses is pretty major, but there's so much less headache on trash. In trade, I get locusts off my bar, and cold dogs debuffing for 15% damage anyway. Also the fact that you don't have to interrupt your haunt spamming to re-spread locusts adds back some DPS.
• Grin Reaper in cube. The amount of mimicked CC is pretty sweet.
• Cold damage primary with Resentful spirits instead of Poisoned Spirit. Another 20% damage lost here on bosses but trash dying twice as fast.

Ring of Emptiness is on my finger and Royal Grandeur in the cube mostly because I happen to have an ancient Quetz and no CoE. I'm mostly looking for someone to tell my why some or all of these are dumb choices for the long run. Also, with manual locusts instead of automatic, what's the rotation? just always recast locust right after harvest?

would gem of eficacious toxin work as a viable option due to the 6 pc

my favourite build in the whole game since i started in 2014.

i've done GR 79 with it a while ago, and that's below 900 paragon and with Perdition as RG. sadly you need really good rng at this point to push further, but it's just so damn rewarding when you make it.

im aware that HT can reach higher, and with less effort, but whatever, i play for fun. jade is really unique among all the d3 builds, it didn't even cross my mind for a second to give it up.
