GEAR

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AMULET - The Johnstone / Rondal's Locket

Allows you to one shot enemies after Land of the Dead ends when you have lower sheet value, you can swap to Rondal's Locket for Gold Range if you have high enough damage that you kill trash without Land of the Dead or manually casting Corpse Lance
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RINGS - Ring of Royal Grandeur, Avarice Band, Krysbin's Sentence

Ring of Royal Grandeur always has attack speed and life per hit making it the best ring to use in the cube

Krysbin's Sentence has a large legendary affix range on it so if yours sucks and you need more damage put it in the cube instead of Ring of Royal Grandeur

Avarice Band always has crit chance making it ideal to wear, the gold pick up range is very useful for picking up elite globes, gold, health globes and increasing the range of Devouring Aura

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HELMET - Pestilence set, Leoric's Crown

Cube either Leoric's or Corpsewhisper, Leoric's Crown has a larger affix range and the importance of CDR makes it a better cube item
however finding a good pair of shoulders is a challenge so you may want to use Pestilence Defense if you have a good pair and you have a crown
above at least 90%

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SHOULDER - Pestilence set, Corpsewhisper Pauldrons

See HELMET

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BELT-Gold Wraps

Witching Hour is an option if you have low damage
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WEAPONS-Ingeom, Reilena's Shadowhook, Any Phylactery(For stats)

Ingeom and a Phylcatery with Reilena's Shadowhook in cube will get you more CDR
Reilena's Shadowhook in hand with Ingeom in cube needs less effort to get damage
Bone Ringer always has crit chance so it's the easiest Phylactery to get rolled well
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LEGENDARY GEMS


Boon of the Hoarder - MUST HAVE Ring of Avarice is the quintessence of the build
Gogok of Swiftness
Bane of the Trapped
Esoteric Alteration - No Gold Wrap
Bane of the Powerful - Early game
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


STATS


Stat priority the numbered in importance 1 is the most important 4 is the least important

1.CDR is the best stat for this build as it smooths out the gameplay with terrible maps and allows you to keep Land of the Dead up often
2.Pick up range will speed up rifts by more than damage would because the build deals so much damage anyways
3.Damage is self explanatory but you MUST have enough to kill yellow elites in ~1 second or you need more and its worth sacrificing other stats for
4.Toughness just not that useful for speed builds

NOTE
Most of your movement comes from Blood Rush so movement speed is not as important as it is for most speed builds it's just useful for picking up items occasionally, still reduces a few seconds from a rift on average

50% CDR and 750k sheet damage minimum
recommended CDR 60-65%

Build Guide


PLAY STYLE

Use Blood Rush to move
Use Land of the Dead when the duration ends or comes off cooldown
Use Corpse Lance on elites or to kill a few in large packs of white enemies so Devour and 2pc Pestilence can finish them off quickly
Use Simulacrum on Rift Guardian or packs of multiple elites(not a single blue packs but rather multiple blue packs or yellows)
Use Command Golem when Land of the Dead is down and you need corpses
