Rechel's Ring of Larceny

[Wormwood] in Cube! ^

Now updated for Season 12!

Moves around rifts fast, decimates Elite packs instantaneously (along with grouped trash mobs).

This build is very effective in Torment 13 Nephalem Rifts and 70+ Greater Rifts.

The build is easy to play and super fun!

Item/rune choices you can make:

- [Wormwood] recommended in Cube so you don't have to cast Locust Swarm manually every room, alternatively you could use [Sacred Harvester] or [Furnace].

-If you're running T13 Rifts with not so good gear/low paragons, you should keep [Harrington's Waistguard] ready in your inventory, you can freely equip it during good rifts, in which you could easily have 100% uptime with the buff. This bonus damage mainly helps with oneshotting mobs by Locust Swarm + Soul Harvest alone.

-If you crave for more damage output and toughness isn't an issue, you can swap the Swampland Attunement for Confidence Ritual

-You can swap the Piranhas - Piranhado for Piranhas - Wave of Mutilation. This makes applying your Piranhas' easier, because you can spam it way more often and it hits enemies on a generally larger scale.

Build Guide

The Basics of this build with useful tips:

1. Maintain your stacks of Soul Harvest for toughness increase

2. Spread your Locust swarm into the current room and while it's spreading, use your Piranhas to stack the affected mobs together

3. Use Your Spirit Walk to move inside the mobs and use your Horrify for Crowd Control / Toughness increase

4. Start holding down your Haunt key

5. After 1-2 seconds start spamming your Soul Harvest with thunderous vengeance! (Hold down your Haunt key while tapping Soul Harvest)

Dying mobs reduce the cooldown of your Soul Harvest due to Grave Injustice, and with the 4-Piece Set bonus and cubed [In-Geom], there will be times where you have no cooldown on Soul Harvest!

6. Freely spam your Spirit Walk and Horrify between Elite packs to reach the next one faster.

7. Try to pick up as much of the Health Globes as possible to maintain the up-to 50% intelligence boost from Gruesome Feast (Elite and Champion packs drop anywhere from 2 to 4 globes, with big Trash Mobs having a chance of dropping them too).

8. Try to reach 100% rift progress by finishing off an Elite pack, having the [In-Geom] proc on Rift Guardian helps quite a bit.

9. If you're farming in a group with [Nemesis Bracers], and find a Pylon right before the Rift Guardian (~90% Progression), you should save it and spawn the Champion pack with the Rift Guardian to profit from your Area Damage multiplier and have an extra full-duration [In-Geom] proc during the Boss!
