Gameplay

The configuration

This setup is stored as a complete build — gear, skills, runes and all four cube slots work together and are not assembled from individual statistics.

Set: Helltooth Harness
Rating: tier B across all classes
Kanai's Cube: Shukrani's Triumph, Stone Gauntlets, Ring of Royal Grandeur, Convention of Elements
Skills: Soul Harvest (Languish), Zombie Charger (Pile On), Wall of Death (Surrounded by Death), Piranhas (Piranhado), Spirit Walk (Honored Guest), Locust Swarm (Devouring Swarm)
Passives: Blood Ritual, Confidence Ritual, Grave Injustice, Creeping Death
Variants available: GR push, Speed farming, Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts

Use the variant switcher above to move between the versions. What changes between them is spelled out below — read it before you rebuild.

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 3000% 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 17,500% 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 (Jaunt); cube St. Archew's Gage, Sacred Harvester; gems Zei's Stone of Vengeance, Bane of the Powerful.
Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts: swaps in skills Spirit Walk (Jaunt), Horrify (Ruthless Terror); cube Wormwood, Goldwrap, Sacred Harvester; gems Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard, Boon of the Hoarder.

Sockets and gems

The 3 legendary gems (Bane of the Stricken, Bane of the Trapped, Pain Enhancer) belong in the jewellery slots — that is the only place their rank counts, and the only place they keep growing when you upgrade after a Greater Rift.

The remaining 7 sockets are filled with Ruby: the multiplier already comes from the set and the legendary powers, so one more base stat does more there than another effect would.

On the season theme

Shades of the Nephalem spawns a shadow clone of your class at every shrine and pylon that fights along for one minute. Activate shrines inside the pull, not on the way there. The fourth cube slot is already filled in every variant above.
