Some days ago i posted my Road to Rank 1 EU-NS (Carnevil) and i'm back again with Carnevil with some changes to make it a viable build for Death's Breath farming!
Premise: I like to work on more builds so people are not forced to play with just 1 and they can run their favorite, so i'm not stating that this is the BEST build for DBs farming, because you would probably prefer Arachyr/Manajuma. I'd say Sage Carnevil is the a very good compromise for DBs + GR keys farming.
So, I've made a different setup for Carnevil to farm Death's Breath on high difficulties, so we can equip Sage Set like other classes without losing efficiency and too much dps. Ofc we are not barbs, monks and DHs so the result isn't the same like other classes but i'm sure, with good practise, everyone can reach a good gameplay/efficiency for solo and group!
Before talking about the build, i'd like to remind you that the drop chance of DBs (Death's Breath) changes on every Torment tier! On t6 you have 77%/80%, on T7 90%, on T8+ you have 100% with the only difference that on T8 you have 5% more chance to drop a 2nd DB and on T9 15%, on T10 is 25% more.
So basically the most efficient way for a guaranteed double DB is playing on T8! Ofc on T10 you can get much more DBs, but tbh i don't think the 20% more chance is worth it as Witch Doctor! Go higher T if you are playing in group.
The gear is pretty much the same that you have been using on patch 2.2, so you are not gonna play Focus / Restraint, but in stead you go back to Convention of Elements and Zuni's Pox! That's the only way to fit Sage set inside a WD build without ruining the basic core of the spec, Z6 in this case. Don't worry about the loss of damage compared to F/R! Torment 8 is still an easy GR35, so you will be melting everything
In the cube you will go for Carnevil mask, Ring of Royal Grandeur and In geom (in the video i cubed DoD cause my in geom was better). The sword is so amazing for this build and every farming build in general, especially because you are going to free a slot for Angry Chicken replacing BBV so you can spam chicken and go much faster in your elite packs hunt!
I'm using only 1 spender skill but that's up to you and your gameplay, if you prefer to run a 2nd spender then just do it! The spender skills are free choice, i really like to play with Frozen Piranhas because it has short cooldown (compared to Piranhado), it buffs my deeps (debuff on mobs) and it also procs BotT gem! The other gems are simplicity strenght and enforcer.
Passive skills are pretty much mandatory, so Spirit Vessel, Pierce the Veil, Fetish Sycophants and one between Grave Injustice and Gruesome Feast, i suggest you to run Hellfire Amulet because they are both important for a better efficiency.
Well that's all guys, i hope you enjoyed the guide and the Sage Carnevil!
@IvveP ye it would be very cool, but honestly i don't think a normal pet build without any "6th set bonus" would be enough to farm efficiently T8! Too bad i know...
Zuni is the only good for customization because of Ring + Mojo!

How about using HT instead of Zuni lie this: http://www.diablofans.com/builds/58516-solfs-chickenfarm-deathbreath-build-t8-10
Have you tried that and what's your impressions?
