Gameplay

The configuration

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

  • Set: Raiment of the Jade Harvester
  • Rating: tier A across all classes
  • Kanai's Cube: Vile Hive, Quetzalcoatl, Ring of Royal Grandeur
  • Skills: Haunt (Resentful Spirits), Piranhas (Bogadile), Horrify (Frightening Aspect), Soul Harvest, Spirit Walk (Jaunt), Locust Swarm (Cloud of Insects)
  • Passives: Creeping Death, Grave Injustice, Confidence Ritual, Gruesome Feast
  • 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 Raiment of the Jade Harvester. 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: When Haunt lands on an enemy already affected by Haunt, it instantly deals 3,500 seconds worth of Haunt damage.
  • 4 pieces: Soul Harvest gains the effect of every rune and has its cooldown reduced by 1 second every time you cast Haunt or Locust Swarm.
  • 6 pieces: Soul Harvest reduces damage taken by 50% for 12 seconds and consumes your damage over time effects on enemies, instantly dealing 26,000 seconds worth of remaining damage.

How the variants differ

Measured against the push version. Anything not listed here stays the same:

  • Speed farming: swaps in skills Spirit Walk (Severance), Locust Swarm (Pestilence); cube Echoing Fury, Convention of Elements; gems Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard.
  • Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts: swaps in skills Horrify (Stalker), Spirit Walk (Severance), Locust Swarm (Searing Locusts); cube Wormwood; gems Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard, Boon of the Hoarder.

Sockets and gems

The 3 legendary gems (Bane of the Stricken, Bane of the Trapped, Gogok of Swiftness) 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), Diamond (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. For this build the Locust Swarm / Piranhas and Horrify powers apply, because it uses those skills. The Gargantuan / Summon Zombie Dogs / Sacrifice power works regardless of your skill bar. This build sanctifies Shukrani's Triumph, marked in the gear above. 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.
