Witch Doctor Arachyr Angry Chicken Build
Introduction
Sprinkling an extra layer of comedy on top of the zany vibe of Witch Doctors, the Arachyr Angry Chicken is a terrifyingly fast and unapologetically funny build to adopt! This guide will cover all of its available playstyles. The base build presented on this page is the Greater Rift Solo Pushing Variation, but this build also has advice for the necessary alterations in Greater Rift Speed Farming, as well as a Nephalem Rift Farming Variation.

Season 32 Theme — Ethereal Weapons
Due to the reliance on the Manajuma 2-piece weapon set, this build cannot make effective use of Ethereal weapons.
Altar of Rites
The former Season 28 theme, the Altar of Rites, has been revised and re-added to Diablo 3 as a permanent character progression mechanic. — For virtually all builds and players of all skill levels — from casual to advanced — we recommend progressing through the Altar tree using the path outlined below. The suggested path is geared towards maximum quality of life first, then amplifying damage, and then mopping up the tree with defensive and edge case utility nodes.
Note that while they require reaching them with a Seal, Legendary Potion Powers are not part of the Seal cost system; Potions unlock with a separate resource called Primordial Ashes, obtained from salvaging Legendary or Set items of Primal (red bordered) quality. Upgrade them as soon as possible, and in the order shown below (courtesy of Caleko's Altar of Rites planner).
You can read more on the Altar of Rites, Seals and Legendary Potion Powers in our dedicated Altar of Rites Mechanics guide.
