Hey guys!

Here is my favorite starter build for Helltooth in season 7. This season Helltooth is the set you get from Haedrig's Gift.

With 0 paragon, 0 legendary gems, all crafted rares(besides the helltooth pieces), no Kanai's Cube items, and just marquise normal gems, this build destroys Torment 6 and can go all the way up to Torment 8.

Between Wall of Death and Acid Rain, the build has great AoE clear, and very good single target with the pets.

Piranhado for grouping mobs together.

Spirit Walk: Severance for great movement speed for a starter build.
