Raiment of the Jade Harvester

This Witch Doctor set turns slow damage-over-time effects into an instant detonation. You blanket enemies with Haunt and Locust Swarm, building up a large pool of pending damage, then unleash it with Soul Harvest in one devastating blow. The Harvest devours all your active damage-over-time effects and applies many seconds of damage at once. Soul Harvest also gains every rune effect and grants you noticeable damage reduction while it's active.

The rhythm is clear: spread the plagues widely first, then reap with Soul Harvest once enough has stockpiled. Reduce the Harvest's cooldown by diligently applying your plagues so your burst windows follow tightly on one another and you keep constant pressure up.

Double-casting Haunt

The 2-piece bonus rewards a second Haunt on the same target: if the enemy is already haunted, it instantly takes 3500 seconds worth of Haunt damage. Normally the skill deals 4000% weapon damage over 12 seconds, and an enemy can only carry one spirit at a time. With Resentful Spirits every cast summons two spirits, and Poisoned Spirit makes haunted enemies take 20% more damage from your attacks.

Soul Harvest with every rune

At four pieces, Soul Harvest carries all runes at once. For each harvested enemy within 18 yards you gain 32,185 Life (Siphon), 5% movement speed (Soul to Waste), 10% armor (Languish) and 5% Mana (Swallow Your Soul); the harvested enemies are also slowed by 80% and take 640% weapon damage (Vengeful Spirit). Every cast of Haunt or Locust Swarm shortens its cooldown by 1 second.

Soul Harvest has a 12-second cooldown, exactly as long as the 50% damage reduction from the 6-piece bonus lasts. Cast the Harvest whenever it is ready and the protection never lapses.

Cube powers

The Raiment is often combined with Vile Hive, Quetzalcoatl, the Ring of Royal Grandeur and Convention of Elements.
