Foreword:
This is a lazy, boring, pet based build with an extremely passive gameplay style. It is Hardcore viable and can tackle crucible just fine without blessings/banners/potions. But as I wanted to enjoy the scenery, I did not focus on offence and it shows. So if you are looking for speed, you are in the wrong place. But if you are lazy like me and want to try something you can play half asleep or drunk, then this might be for you.

I don’t have any videos, but here are some screenshots. (The build is same for all content)

Watch out for his stuns and keep your distance. You should be fine. Also don’t stand in AOE and try not to get stuck in a tight spot.
Ravager (all 3 versions): https://i.imgur.com/yUH5haT.jpg
Kite around the tree while avoiding the red orbs that circle him. Re-summon pets when they die. Drink a Tonic of Mending if needed. Pretty easy and straightforward fights.
Lokarr: https://i.imgur.com/ChKL0px.jpg
This shouldn’t be a surprise since we took down Moggy and Ravager, but the fight was incredibly easy and tbh Ulgrim put up more of a challenge. Shame on you Loky, a cook survived longer than you did with a broken arm… (The fight is pretty straightforward, let your pets do the job while you just move away from his attacks)

She dies in seconds and is no harder than a random zombie from Devil’s Crossing. Nothing more to say here, just let your pets end her suffering and be on your merry way.

(Ran from wave 1 to 150 without blessings and 151 - 170 with all 4. Was less headless chicken and focused a bit.)
Crucible with blessings on character but no blessings on pets: https://i.imgur.com/vqXG71a.jpg
(Started on 151, summoned pets after getting blessings just to see how it would fare. Was a complete headless chicken and let fights drag on longer than they should have. Pets died, but the Conjurer was never in any real danger.)
Same playthrough as above, but to show how to hug 2x Reapers and Fabius: https://i.imgur.com/L5niXj1.jpg
(Moosilauke and Theodin did not come to hug and were very rude.)
The Crucible fights were done without relying on any potions or consumables. Also, Crucible of the Legion in my personal experience works best as it has a easy layout while being big enough to kite stuff. Focus on high threat, high speed targets first while leaving the slow ones lumbering around on the other side of the stage. Be careful of Crowd-Control effects like Stuns, Roots, etc.

Crucible farm build with Blessings: https://i.imgur.com/oqKfRpH.jpg
Wanted something that could farm crucible 151-170 twice with the same round of blessings. And mission success. You don’t really lose much for all that extra dmg either. Also works for Mogdrogen/Ravager/Lokarr.

As you can see, it does pretty well. But obviously less powerful.
Introduction:
Ok, with that out of the way, time for a brief explanation on the build.
It all started with Squib’s Ret.Warder. Yes, that one. See, my main was originally a Devastation Spellbinder. While it did fine in the campaign, it got absolutely decimated in the crucible. So I went on a search to find something to conquer Lokarr’s little arena. Tried a variety of builds, but the story was always the same, death by Discount-Ravager. Then stumbled upon the above mentioned Warder. It was fine on Aspirant, but then got to Challenger and found myself finishing my dinner in the time it took to finish a few waves. It was excruciatingly slow.
Then came many other failed experiments mostly including Soldier and something else. But at the end of it all, came salvation. A Super Fluffy Tactician who could facetank anything and everything the Crucible had to offer. I finally saw wave 170 and conquered it. But there was still a problem. Two, infact.
o) First was that it was still too slow for my liking and I had to point and click on stuff like a peasant.
o) Second problem was that it was someone else’s creation. I simply copied it. I wanted something of my own.
At that point, I knew that the only way to get what I wanted was to go for a pet based char. And since I was focusing on being lazy, Conjurer was better than Cabalist. Enter “The Headless Chicken”. Ofcourse, never been one for math, it was still poorly optimized and did not feel very safe to play. But after countless trial and error (and then some help from this community), it was finally ready. By no means perfected, but capable of fulfilling its intended purpose.
Originally it wasn’t exactly made with the masses in mind, but as an experiment for myself. But don’t really see the harm in “releasing” it. So here it is.
Item choices:
The greens were GDStashed. But you can go for pretty much whatever affix you want or have. These were just a personal tastes and works best for me. But even if you find them with terrible affixes, you should be able to get by. The rest of the gear, being purple shouldn’t be too hard to obtain.
We are not focusing on Ravens, so Will of Bysmiel will be less affective. That said, it was what I used at first and still held its own. But the Mini Kubacabra, AKA Chillmane is too cute to pass up.
Pants/Gloves/Boots, go for whatever you fancy. But I find these to work best.
Rings are imo, BiS for this build. Since we are not going for Chaos dmg or anything, you can save your Voidwhisper bands for something else.
Relic choice: Mog provides us with a +1 to all skills which is much welcome, in addition to everything else it provides. I was never a fan of Primal instinct as the pets were too slow for my liking. That said, PI definitely works provided you change a bit of stuff around.
Skill/Devotion Setup:
We aren’t focusing on Ravens since this is about being hard to kill and Ravens can’t tank.
Hellhound is decent. But since making him a source of dmg requires investment of skill points better spent elsewhere, we are using him instead as just something to put between you and the horde of monsters.
Briarthorns and Primal Spirit (aka Murder Kitty) are really good since they can both deal dmg as well as tank an incredible amount of punishment. Max them out.
Now, you probably have noticed that we got a Huge HP bonus for all our pets. It says 275% on GTools, but due to variations in items, mine is over 300%. You probably don’t need that much, especially with blessings interms of the Crucible. But, I don’t manaually control them and let them get hit by AOE, Shotguns, Ground effects etc. So it helps make sure that they don’t die and lose their blessings.
If at the end of the day you feel like you want to try moving points more towards offence, then you can do so by all means.
As for Devotions, again we are building with defence in mind. You could try to go for Manticore, but personally I don’t consider it worth losing something else for. But if you do then the RR from it should give you a better kill speed.
Playstyle:
If the Post’s title didn’t clue you in, allow me to repeat; “The Headless Chicken Style” 
Ok, it is actually a very lazy and bad way to play. Don’t be like me. But if you are or want to, then I won’t hold it against you 
Then again, there isn’t much to do other than running around casting Curse on anything and everything.
So toggle on your skills, summon your pets, Activate Blood of Dreeg and run around while enjoying the scenery. Don’t worry about enemies. They will just die on their own.
But if you want to focus a bit and take a more calculated approach, that is also possible:
Murder Kitty, you can spam whenever it comes off of CD. But try to save Harbinger for bosses. Or you can just spam them both, I do.
Curse of Frailty is best used after your pets draw aggro. Otherwise, just make sure that you don’t get surrounded.
Blood of Dreeg: Since it has a 30 sec duration on a 15 sec CD, wait a bit instead of spamming it every 15 seconds just incase you need the burst heal.
Call of the Beast (From Helm): Try to save it for when you need that extra dmg.
Now for the most important thing; Positioning. Always be mindful of where you are and keep an eye out for your pets and enemies.
You can manually control your pets to move them out of stuff like Ana’s Devastation, Aleks’s Meteors etc or to focus on high threat targets first before moving on to the rest. Also to create a barrier between you and whatever is after you, at chokepoints.
Or you could set them all to aggressive and just run around in circles while they do their job.
When doing the Crucible (and in general) regarding your own positioning, just make sure you won’t get stuck and you are good to go. Also kite a bit since we can’t facetank for longer than a few seconds and we don’t have any reason to. Don’t stand in AOE/Ground effects and try to stay as far away as possible from enemies who can stun/freeze/sleep/root you.
Conclusion:
If you read all that and made it this far or even if you skipped it straight to here, congratulations. You are now ready to be lazy (or you already are) and make the spirit of the headless chicken, proud.
Also, while I am aware that there are many builds which does the same content much faster, there haven’t been any that were this lazy (or to me, this safe). I was looking for such a build for a long time, but never found one. So maybe if you too were on a similar quest, then it might help you.
And while it was created with the Crucible in mind, it does even better in the Campaign since you fight at your own pace.
Now, some of you might notice that it could be made better or a bit different or simply optimized further. If you are wondering why I haven’t, my excuse is that I want to give you space to change it to suit your needs and make it your own.
An alternative version of the same build that is pretty much the same thing, but different: The Flying Dodo - Rainbow Pet Conjurer
Another version with the same concept: Moggy the Puppy - Pet Conjurer
I just use Blood of Dreeg and Primal Spirit for button pushers. Different devotion set up though and I’ve had over 100 deaths with it.
