Set Pieces

6 Pieces

Firebats & Corpse Spiders

Spirit of Arachyr is a versatile Witch Doctor set with two strong variants: Firebats for sustained area damage and Corpse Spiders as a minion build. The 6-piece bonus massively boosts your creature skills.

How to play: With Firebats, watch your mana supply and channel in the middle of the pack; with Corpse Spiders, stack your minions. Flexible for both speeds and pushing.

Spider Queen, thread and web

From two pieces on, a permanent Spider Queen follows you, tied to you by an infested thread. Enemies caught in that thread become infested – and every Corpse Spiders attack against an infested target deals the same damage to all infested enemies. The Queen moves to wherever you cast your Corpse Spiders, so each jar you throw also repositions her. Your spiders now spawn with health as well.

The 4-piece bonus makes the Queen leave webs behind that last 15 seconds and slow enemies. Infested enemies stay infested for as long as they stand on a web. For you, the web means 75% reduced damage while inside it and for 4 seconds after stepping out, so fight wherever the Queen is currently spinning.

Choosing your creature skill

The 11,500% from the 6-piece bonus applies to Corpse Spiders, Plague of Toads, Firebats, Locust Swarm, Hex and Piranhas. Among the bat runes, Cloud of Bats ramps its damage around you up to double over 3 seconds, while Dire Bats travel a long distance instead. Vampire Bats swap the channeling cost for a single upfront cost of 250 Mana.

For the spiders, Blazing Spiders return 3 Mana per hit and Leaping Spiders jump up to 25 yards to reach a target. Piranhas and the Hex rune Jinx both make enemies take an extra 15% damage – value that goes beyond the skill's own hits.

Cube powers alongside Arachyr

With the Ring of Royal Grandeur in the cube, five Arachyr pieces already carry all three bonuses. The set is also often combined with The Furnace, Echoing Fury, Mask of Jeram and Cluckeye.
