Diablo 3 Jade Harvester Soul Harvest Witch Doctor Build

Soul Harvest will not deal damage on its own, but thanks to Jade Harvester (6) Set bonus (Soul Harvest consumes your damage over time effects on enemies, instantly dealing 10,000 seconds worth of remaining damage) it will turn into a deadly skill. At the same time, Locust Swarm will serve as an excellent pool of opponents, because Pestilence Rune allows you to spread it over a long distance in seconds. Add in high damage reduction and you have the perfect build for farming high-tier Greater Rifts. Read on to get Jade Harvester Soul Harvest Witch Doctor Build cheat sheet.
