- Skills: Piranhas (Piranhado), Wall of Death (Communing with Spirits), Soul Harvest (Languish), Gargantuan (Humongoid), Spirit Walk (Jaunt), Sacrifice (Provoke the Pack)

What the set does
This build wears Helltooth Harness. These bonuses apply once the matching number of set pieces is equipped — the damage multiplier hangs on them, not on the individual stats of the pieces:
- 2 pieces: Enemies hit by your primary skills, Acid Cloud, Firebats, Zombie Charger, Zombie Dogs, Gargantuan, Grasp of the Dead, Piranhas, or Wall of Death are afflicted by Necrosis, becoming Slowed and taking 3,000% weapon damage every second for 10 seconds.
- 4 pieces: After applying Necrosis to an enemy, you take 60% reduced damage for 10 seconds.
- 6 pieces: After casting Wall of Death, gain 37,500% increased damage for 15 seconds to your primary skills, Acid Cloud, Firebats, Zombie Charger, Zombie Dogs, Gargantuan, Grasp of the Dead, Piranhas, and Wall of Death.
How the variants differ
Measured against the push version. Anything not listed here stays the same:
- Speed farming: swaps in skills Spirit Walk (Severance); gems Zei's Stone of Vengeance.
- Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts: swaps in skills Soul Harvest (Soul to Waste), Gargantuan (Big Stinker), Spirit Walk (Severance), Horrify (Stalker); cube Shukrani's Triumph; gems Boon of the Hoarder.
Sockets and gems
The 3 legendary gems (Bane of the Stricken, Bane of the Trapped, Enforcer) belong in the jewellery slots (rings and amulet). Urshi can upgrade them after a Greater Rift whether they are socketed, in your inventory or in your stash.
The remaining 7 sockets are filled with regular gems: Topaz (5), Amethyst (1) and Emerald (1).
On the season theme
In Season 40, Angelic Crucibles sanctify a legendary item: perfect Ancient-level stats plus one of three powers of your class at random. You can only wear one Sanctified item at a time. None of your class's three powers boosts a skill of this build directly. The Gargantuan / Summon Zombie Dogs / Sacrifice power works regardless of your skill bar. Which item is sanctified depends on the version: Sacred Harvester (GR push), Echoing Fury (Speed farming) and Echoing Fury (Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts). Since the power is rolled at random, a Sanctified item can be sanctified again with another Crucible. All powers are listed on the Season 40 page.
