Ring of Emptiness

This potent AoE build squeezes maximum advantage of the Helltooth set buffs of Zombie Charger and Wall of Death, weaving their alternating use into a landscape of AoE destruction. Your primary goal is to lure as many monsters as you can into your line-shaped DPS output, optimising the potential of Zombie Bears and Fire Wall whilst gaining massive Toughness benefits from Swampland Attunement. Positioning both the player and the AoE is also key, as Fire Wall damage stacks even if triple casted on the same location, and Zombie Bears will travel in a straight line if you put your back against a wall. Haunt Haunt will be used to make enemies more susceptible to damage, as well as to proc the cubed Ring of Emptiness. The Witch Doctor staple Piranhas Piranhado shows up yet again, grouping and debuffing the monsters for your AoE convenience. Another mainstay, Spirit Walk Jaunt Jaunt, is necessarily adopted for mobility and escapes. It can also be used to reap a better Soul Harvest, diving into the enemy to maximise the Languish benefits.
