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 Flame Blades and Explosive Blast have been very popular skills to use with Firebird, Season 27 and Sanctified Items bring a whole new variant to the table, with the seasonal exclusive Sanctified Magic Missile allowing the Wizard to become a living machinegun on the battlefield! 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. 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. 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.
