Tal Rasha's Elements Meteor — 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: Tal Rasha's Elements
• Rating: tier A across all classes
• Kanai's Cube: The Smoldering Core, Mempo of Twilight, Ring of Royal Grandeur, The Grand Vizier
• Skills: Magic Weapon (Deflection), Meteor (Comet), Explosive Blast (Chain Reaction), Familiar (Sparkflint), Teleport (Safe Passage), Storm Armor (Scramble)
• Passives: Power Hungry, Elemental Exposure, Blur, Galvanizing Ward
• Variants available: GR push, Speed farming, Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts

What the set does

This build wears Tal Rasha's Elements. 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: Damaging enemies with Arcane, Cold, Fire or Lightning will grant immunity to that element and cause a Meteor of the same damage type to fall from the sky. This only occurs if the Wizard has Meteor on their action bar, and the same meteor cannot happen twice in a row.
• 4 pieces: Arcane, Cold, Fire, and Lightning attacks each increase all of your resistances by 100% for 8 seconds. Attacking with Meteor reduces the cooldown of Teleport by 1 second.
• 6 pieces: Attacks increase your damage by 2000% for 8 seconds. Arcane, Cold, Fire, and Lightning attacks each add one stack. At 4 stacks, each different elemental attack extends the duration by 2 seconds, up to a maximum of 8 seconds.

How the variants differ

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

• Speed farming: swaps in skills Magic Missile (Split), Meteor (Molten Impact), Frost Nova (Frozen Mist), Familiar (Arcanot), Teleport (Calamity), Energy Armor (Energy Tap); cube Squirt's Necklace; gems Bane of the Powerful.
• Torment 16 / Nephalem rifts: swaps in skills Diamond Skin (Enduring Skin), Meteor (Molten Impact), Ice Armor (Jagged Ice); gems Bane of the Powerful, Boon of the Hoarder.

Sockets and gems

The 3 legendary gems (Bane of the Stricken, Zei's Stone of Vengeance, Bane of the Trapped) 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.
