Since this build only deals damage with Firebird's Finery (6 ) Bonus Ignite procs, Attack Speed is our most important stat by a long shot.


Jewelry Slots offer several options: Endless Walk and Convention of Elements are commonly used in push meanwhile the combination of Squirt's Necklace and Focus & Restraint can be used at higher paragon or for speed runs for more damage.Captain Crimson's Trimmings provides us with 20% Cooldown Reduction and grants us damage and toughness based on our CDR and RCR.Ring of Royal Grandeur allows us to complement Firebird's Finery with other sets such as Aughild's Authority and Captain Crimson's Trimmings.The Shame of Delsere for yet another 50% separate Attack Speed multiplier to Spectral Blade!.Fragment of Destiny for its 50% separate Attack Speed multiplier to Spectral Blade, our main Ignite DoT proc ability.Orb of Infinite Depth grants us a massive 80% damage reduction and a 40% separate damage multiplier upon using Explosive Blast.The Firebird's Finery set provides 80% damage reduction to our character as well as a 5,000% damage multiplier and the central Ignite DoT mechanic.This guide will explain everything there is to know for you to master this unique melee Wizard! To get as many (6 ) Bonus Ignite procs as possible, this iteration utilizes Spectral Blade Flame Blades in combination with Fragment of Destiny and The Shame of Delsere to reach insane Attack Speed Breakpoints. This, however, comes at the price of not being able to benefit from the best way to scale our damage in density: Area Damage does not work with the Ignite DoT! As a result, we stack Attack Speed to maximize our hit count and the resulting Ignite DoT ticks. While self-cast Flame Blades was completely overshadowed by Mirror Image s in Season 23 and Season 24, the nerf to them in Season 25 brought this build into the light as a serious competitor for the best Firebird setup, especially with Soul Shards! In Season 27, Sanctified Items introduced a slightly stronger variant of this build with Sanctified Magic Missile that you can find here! These stacks are then used to buff our Ignite DoT when hitting monsters with another Fire ability, on top of reducing our Teleport Cooldown. Firebird's Finery always had a strong fantasy around the Phoenix theme with the (2 ) Bonus "rising from the ashes" cheat death and the Fire element with an Ignite DoT.īut this new rework created a specific playstyle based around channeling Disintegrate to Ignite monsters and build Combustion stacks with the (4 ) Bonus.
Fire speed stacks Patch#
Patch 2.7.0 and Season 23, however, brought us a complete rework of this set. Comically enough, the strongest Firebird build iterations have been using non- Fire abilities! Yet, Firebird's Finery had its glory days of dominating the META as a Trash Killer from Season 12 to 15 using Meteor Star Pact alongside channeling multipliers like Deathwish. You obviously want to respec Glyph for fire and focus on ignite chance if you go that route.Firebird's Finery has been one of the weakest and most clunky sets in the game for quite some time, having to juggle between three Fire abilities to benefit from its set bonuses. The Flame Rush-Glyph link I was talking about is called Glyph of Intention. RRR is good for DoT because it inflicts Spreading Flames at 100%. Typically you pick either hit-based or DoT. Meanwhile the rest of the time you have your buff active and you can spam whatever you want, since RI isn't eating your mana budget. The end result is that your RI has a cooldown of about 8 seconds, and every time it's off cd you smash the button and wipe the screen for almost no mana. Then 3 points in Transcriber of Power so that RI gives you a long lasting spell damage and cast speed buff. Then Author of Arcana and Adept Runescribing to refund the mana cost, give the skill a cooldown, and reduce that cooldown. The setup I was talking about would be StS, Prologue and Interlude for extra invocations. The nodes based on StS let you invoke RR and R when you invoke RRR, so two "free" invocations, which makes it stronger for clear.
