Advice for slugging build

After the DS buff I decided to run a slugging build as I did during the sabo meta. I would like to hear your ideas of a perfect build. I believe that slugging is most fun/efficient with huntress and at the moment I am looking at the following build:

Deerstalker
nurses calling
knock out
ruin
The tactic would be to stay relatively close to ruin and slugg survivors in its area.
I am not quite sure about knockout though, is it better to play without it (especially since SWF...) and use the slugged survivors as bait?

What are your suggestions?

    Wraith with third seal. Slug 1, go invisible, someone comes, curse them and wait by the slug for the next and repeat. Sloppy butcher and nurse's calling with dear stalker

    I don't think Ruin is necessary, slugging would make the game go slower anyway.

    Interesting, so you would propose deerstalker,nurses,3rd seal and ruin?

    Personally, I find that "Knockout III" paired with a reverse bear trap with a face mask (common add-on) works extremely well. Knockout III prevents the survivors from finding their teammates and the mask prevents the downed person from crawling to a friendly aura. Not to mention, you can throw on another add-on that causes exhaustion while the trap is worn to make any escapes harder.

    Third Seal, but the problem with that is that it is a risk-reward kind of think, I personally wouldn't go for that. Sloppy Butcher might be a good one, it would take a longer time to heal up, making it easier to slug

    Not ruin. Sloppy butcher. Longer healing to keep slugs from getting up, or longer heal times to to spot with nurse's while invisible. Pulls double duty with wraith bring invisible since he can see the blood.
    If you want to slug and stall sloppy with thanstaphobia and knock out
