Before you say it's useless - I do realise my items suck. Especially belt, weapon and amulet. I don't even use 3 legendary gems yet. The point is to show you guys that a Zunimassa's/Archyr's set crossover is potentialy viable, show you how I do it (with 3 BAD items I walk TX with no fear) and ask for your tips - especially on items (again - belt, amulet, weapon).

This is what I managed to come up with as my build after roughly 40 hours pf playing. It's a combination of what I had and expected to work best together, and it actually works. Summon the fetishes, throw the spider queen (both of them actually - Arachyr's passive follows the spell), throw the locust swarm and hunt, move away and spam some vomits (acid cloud with blobs). It's pretty much a DoT build, but it works on TX well enough to be enjoyable - haven't tried GRs yet. I do NOT use the creeping death passive, as it seems not to work, somehow? I'm not sure about it, the animations siappear, I don't know if the damage - and what's even more important: the Ring of emptiness' passive - is sonsistently applied for 5 minutes nonstop (that's how long it supposedly works - read it here somewhere, some guys said they checked it in a brawl).

This is a starting version of my build which i WILL update (or at least intend to). I'd love to know what you guys think about it, any ideas or tips what to focus and improve. And what items I should go for instead of some of the current ones. Thanks for checking it out, and maybe for some advices too, peace
