![]() 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. Manual Flame Blades was in a pretty decent spot before the nerf, but in 2.7.2+ it’ll be a pretty mediocre build compared to basically any other viable wizard build.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 Firebird’s nerf was necessary, but I really wish they’d managed it in a way that didn’t also kill manual Flame Blades. Much worse than Hydras at equivalent gear/paragon. ![]() ![]() Worse than Chantodo Vyr’s at equivalent gear/paragon. Worse than Tal’s/DMO/LoD/Vyr’s FO at equivalent gear/paragon. Much worse than DMO/LoD Twisters at equivalent gear/paragon. That makes manual Flame Blades strictly worse than basically all of our other builds. With -9 GRs from the nerf, that puts manual Flame Blades down into the 120-125 range at moderate paragons and 130+ probably only with very high paragon. Could probably have gone higher if I optimized a bit and spent a bit of time fishing. I did 130 pretty easily with manual Flame Blades at 3k paragon in non-season before I switched to Mirror Images. It’s around 5-10 GRs behind Mirror Images, and importantly can clear faster on lower tiers (Mirror Images has a sort of floor on clear speed, it’s tough to get consistently under 3-3.5 min average, but Manual Flame Blades can go faster than that if you drop down a bit). Yeah I messed around with it for 110-120 speeds this season once I got sick of Mirror Images. ![]() Pushed to 130 and would hardly call it pushing as I only did 2 attempts para 1.5k so safe to say it currently is 135 viable on 2k standard. ![]()
