Delsere's Magnum Opus — Wizard

The configuration

This setup is stored as a complete build — gear, skills, runes and all four cube slots work together and are not assembled from individual statistics.

• Set: Delsere's Magnum Opus
• Rating: tier C across all classes
• Kanai's Cube: Wizardspike, Crown of the Primus, Halo of Karini, Convention of Elements
• Skills: Spectral Blade (Ice Blades), Arcane Orb (Frozen Orb), Magic Weapon (Deflection), Storm Armor (Scramble), Black Hole (Spellsteal), Teleport (Calamity)
• Passives: Power Hungry, Galvanizing Ward, Illusionist, Elemental Exposure
• Variants available: GR push, Speed farming, Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts

What the set does

This build wears Delsere's Magnum Opus. These bonuses apply once the matching number of set pieces is equipped — the damage multiplier hangs on them, not on the individual stats of the pieces:

• 2 pieces: Hitting an enemy with Arcane Orb, Energy Twister, Magic Missile, Shock Pulse, Spectral Blade, Electrocute, or Arcane Torrent also casts Slow Time at them. This effect will not trigger if the target is already inside a Slow Time bubble. The cooldown of Teleport will reset while you're inside bubbles generated from this set or cast by you.
• 4 pieces: You take 75% reduced damage while you have a Slow Time active. Allies inside your Slow Time gain half benefit.
• 6 pieces: Enemies affected by your Slow Time and for 5 seconds after exiting take 12,500% increased damage from your Arcane Orb, Energy Twister, Magic Missile, Shock Pulse, Spectral Blade, Electrocute, and Arcane Torrent abilities.

How the variants differ

Measured against the push version. Anything not listed here stays the same:

• Speed farming: swaps in skills Storm Armor (Power of the Storm); cube Strongarm Bracers; gems Bane of the Powerful.
• Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts: swaps in skills Shock Pulse (Power Affinity); cube Aether Walker, Hexing Pants of Mr. Yan, Ring of Royal Grandeur, Strongarm Bracers; gems Boon of the Hoarder.

Sockets and gems

The 3 legendary gems (Bane of the Stricken, Bane of the Trapped, Zei's Stone of Vengeance) belong in the jewellery slots — that is the only place their rank counts, and the only place they keep growing when you upgrade after a Greater Rift.

The remaining 7 sockets are filled with Topaz: the multiplier already comes from the set and the legendary powers, so one more base stat does more there than another effect would.

On the season theme

Shades of the Nephalem spawns a shadow clone of your class at every shrine and pylon that fights along for one minute. Activate shrines inside the pull, not on the way there. The fourth cube slot is already filled in every variant above.
