Mechanics and historical version
Wormwood applies Locust Swarm automatically, allowing Grasp of the Dead instead of manually cast Locust Swarm. Quetzalcoatl and Jade remain the harvest core; Wormwood is a two-handed weapon.

Legendary gems and Kanai’s Cube
Legendary gems: Bane of the Trapped; Bane of the Powerful; Gem of Efficacious Toxin.
Kanai’s Cube: unavailable. It arrived with patch 2.3 / Season 4; do not add three extra legendary powers.
Rotation and positioning
Spread Haunt, allow Wormwood to apply swarms, and group with Piranhado. Use Soul Harvest on prepared packs. Horrify and Spirit Walk protect close-range movement; Grasp supports control and health globes.
Stats, sockets and progression
Prioritize Poison and Haunt damage, critical stats and cooldown reduction. Pickup Radius extends Grave Injustice’s useful zone but does not replace resistances and Armor.
Archive boundaries and source review
This is a dated archive configuration optimized for its stated activity. Historical Greater Rift records are not inferred from current item tooltips; later set multipliers do not apply to this version.
Thing of the Deep is an off-hand alternative for a one-handed weapon; the off-hand slot stays empty with Wormwood.
