It's a shame this build actually made into Challenge Rifts.

Not that there is anything wrong with it. I suppose I'm still bitter that it never was really as viable as I wanted it to be when it was first burst onto the scene. After playing Witch Doctor ~4 years straight this build was a breath of fresh air in the monotony that is class Set meta dominance.

Whatever. +1 from me!
