Gameplay
The configuration
This setup is stored as a complete build — gear, skills, runes and cube powers work together and are not assembled from individual statistics.
- Set: Firebird's Finery
- Rating: tier A across all classes
- Kanai's Cube: Orb of Infinite Depth, The Shame of Delsere, Ring of Royal Grandeur
- Skills: Magic Missile (Conflagrate), Disintegrate (Chaos Nexus), Explosive Blast (Chain Reaction), Teleport (Safe Passage), Black Hole (Spellsteal), Frost Nova (Bone Chill)
- Passives: Audacity, Evocation, Elemental Exposure, Unwavering Will
- Variants available: GR push, Speed farming, Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts
What the set does
This build wears Firebird's Finery. 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: Disintegrate Ignites enemies, causing them to take 3,000% weapon damage per second until they die. When you die, a meteor falls from the sky and revives you. This effect has a 60 second cooldown.
- 4 pieces: Casting Disintegrate adds Combustion stacks that reduce the cooldown of Teleport by 2% per stack. Stacks up to 50 times. You gain 80% damage reduction while maintaining Combustion stacks.
- 6 pieces: You gain 5,000% increased damage while Ignite is applied to a target. Hitting an Ignited enemy with a non-channeling fire spell deals Ignite damage multiplied by Combustion stacks. Pets cannot trigger this effect.
How the variants differ
Measured against the push version. Anything not listed here stays the same:
- Speed farming: swaps in skills Teleport (Wormhole), Magic Weapon (Deflection); gems Bane of the Powerful.
- Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts: swaps in skills Teleport (Wormhole), Familiar (Sparkflint), Magic Weapon (Deflection), Diamond Skin (Prism), Storm Armor (Scramble); cube Aether Walker, Harrington Waistguard, Halo of Karini; gems Boon of the Hoarder, Legacy of Dreams, Simplicity's Strength.
Sockets and gems
The 3 legendary gems (Gogok of Swiftness, Bane of the Stricken, Bane of the Trapped) belong in the jewellery slots (rings and amulet). Urshi can upgrade them after a Greater Rift whether they are socketed, in your inventory or in your stash.
The remaining 7 sockets are filled with regular gems: Topaz (5), Diamond (1) and Emerald (1).
On the season theme
In Season 40, Angelic Crucibles sanctify a legendary item: perfect Ancient-level stats plus one of three powers of your class at random. You can only wear one Sanctified item at a time. For this build the Magic Missile power applies, because it uses that skill. This build sanctifies Fragment of Destiny, marked in the gear above. Since the power is rolled at random, a Sanctified item can be sanctified again with another Crucible. All powers are listed on the Season 40 page.
