Firebird's Finery 6-piece question

Does Firebird's Finery scale with Disintegrate +% damage or attack +% damage or both? The text on the set implies that the Ignite buff's damage integer is set by the Disintegrate hit and the 6-piece damage proc is based on the Ignite tick damage multiplied by the Combustion stack; the hit itself doesn't affect the proc damage. Based on that, I'd read it that scaling Disintegrate scales the 6-piece proc hit, but not scaling the hit that triggers the proc.

Diablo 3 Solo Wizard Rank 6 Season 30

https://youtu.be/oWm7R1mfKI8 Full Video Here!

D3 Solo Wiz S30 - GR150 Cleared in 4 minutes 43 seconds using Firebird set. I was trying out a different setup using Entropy rune for Disintegrate instead of Chaos Nexus. I also used Shard of Hatred (instead of Sliver of Terror) for the 100% damage combined with Familiar with Sparkflint (instead of Prism) and Dominance (instead of Elemental Exposure) to make up for the lack of Prism.

I speculated that while Firebird set specifically says pets cannot proc the combustion stack damage bonus, it seems if you manually cast Familiar, the 1st hit seems to trigger it. I haven't done extensive testing but the damage output from this specific setup seems to be higher than the current meta build. Try it out and let me know in the comments I am curious if others notice anything.

New 70 SSF Wizard. Please tell me how bad I am and what I should be doing.

Solo Self Found S29.

Gear: https://i.redd.it/gwbl3y0xumtb1.png

Cubed: Envious Blade, Gloves of Worship, RORG.

Crit Chance 36, Crit Dmg 251.

Legendary Gems: Bane o.t. Powerful R14, Bane o.t. Stricken, Boon o.t. Hoarder socketed now. Also have LoD, Enforcer. I'm guessing I should farm DBs and get better Rings but that's not fun I think I'll farm goblins for pets instead.

Follower: Enchantress with Thunderfury, Nemesis bracer, Sage's set, and the all-skills focus.

Problem: I got my S29 Haedrig's Gift twice on a Barbarian first so no complete set but weirdly got Firebird's 4-piece and Tal Rasha's 2-piece to work insanely well with Guardian's 3-piece lol. Currently running T7 and there's no danger whatsoever, I just stand still and don't take damage but it takes a while to kill things. I rarely run out of mana. Slowly working on Slayer for S29 but not much fun there. Sick and tired of the Enmity portals popping up but I guess that's where the loot is. Also, do I even need to pick up Rare items anymore?

Solution: ?

As per https://teambrg.com/diablo-3/d3-fresh-level-70-wizard/ I should be doing GRs to level three gems to L25. That doesn't seem fun but ok. Got tons of keys.

TR comet push build

Playing SSF on console.

I have been playing the speed comet build from maxroll to gather gear, almost exclusively. I can do GR90s in under 3 minutes. Now I'm ready to try to push. When I put on the recommended gear, my base damage is only about half of my speed build?!?! Is that how it should be? There's nothing special about my speed build except I have a primal off hand.

Using Vizier, cubed smoldering core.

I have all of the same gear in both sets that maxroll recommends. Same augment on each of my 2 builds, just shoulders. Probably more legendaries overall on the push set then the speed one. Primal CoE on both.

Seems wrong. Wanted to ask before I start.

(Yes I know firebird Twister is better on console. Going to try that later.)

Tal Rasha's 2 piece set bonus question.

Damaging enemies with Arcane, Cold, Fire, or Lightning will grant immunity to that element ...

--

Neither in game or online I can find how long does the immunity last for. Does anyone happen to know how long the elemental immunity last for? If there is a source that I could reference that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

What item is eluding you this season?

Mempo of Twilight is the one for me.

I’m paragon 600.. I have spent tens of thousands of blood shards, tens of thousands of each material on upgrading rare helmets and noooothing.

Anyone else think that season 29 is slow and boring

28 was great, the altar of Rites kept me coming back for more and I played more in the last 6 months than I had in the last few years. But, IMO, season 29 is a big let down.

complete chapter 1 and you get.... Nothing

complete chapter 2 and you get two (count them.....one, two) pieces of firebirds set.

It kinda feels like this is a big FU from Blizzard for not playing Diablo 4.

Anyway, just a rant..... but I am interested to see if it's just me, or anyone else feels the same

Losing resource

While I try to stock up gear / gain Paragon points / etc, I am temporarily playing flame blades with explosive blast, spectral blades. I can speed run 80s and I have the full set recommended by maxroll, but I keep losing arcane power. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Arcane torrent auto cast.

Hi guys, I made a build last season that was involved arcane torrent auto casting as you ran through a rift. Super speedy build but I can’t remember what set it was using. Any help appreciated.ta

Leveling advice after bad start

Rolled leorics helm AND the ring from Kadala but completely struck out on a legendary power for the cube and reducing the level on my level 70 weapon (only got -5). Any advice? At level 7 currently while I decide what to do next. Thinking of waiting until Monday's challenge rift to try again. Or will I get enough mats from the VoE while leveling??!?

Gambling

Raxx says gamble for helm and then rings, for leorics. Another thing I saw says gamble for a source. Raxx is correct, right? What's the thought process on a source right away? (I haven't played wizard in about 4 seasons).

Need a D3 quick explainer- seasons/ adventure mode/ cube/ rifts etc

So I played D3 for quite a long while when it first released up to RoS release or thereabouts. Due to life and other games, I took a REAL long break from Diablo in general. Came back for D4, and having gotten most classes to 70+ and feeling bored I re bought D3 this past weekend. Started a Wizard from scratch just on the normal realm to re acclimate myself to the game. Up to Act 3 now, having a blast.

I guess I’m just looking for someone to explain to me the ins and outs of D3 at a glance. How seasonal realms work, what’s account wide, when you can get the cube and how it works… just ELI5 D3 basics. Thanks in advance!

ELI5: Why is Diamond Skin>Prism useful when it just lasts for 3 seconds?

Meaning I have to spam the button after cooldown, it gets tedious. Also, within that 3 seconds when diamond skin is active, how much can I profit from Prism when the spells I cast is limited?

Who came back from D4?

Let's face it - Sorceress was brutally nerfed to the ground. We have it good in D3 still.

Question about reforging Etched Sigil

Back before Etched Sigil got patched, I had two of them. I extracted the power from one and, after the patch, the power was changed. I kept the other one in my chest and, after the patch, it retained its old power.

If I reforge it to try to get some better stats, will the old power get replaced with the patched power?

LoD Meteor/Archeon variant

Why do people recommend the Smouldering Core legendary for the Kanai Cube? This is ok for the meteor build but the Archeon variant does waaay better with The Messerschmidt’s Reaver! This almost nullifies all cooldown on Archeon Seriously I can do full runs without even spending 20 seconds untransformed

AoC/Karini usefulness at higher levels

Is it just me or does Arcane on Crit and Karini get MORE useful as you go higher in Greater Rifts?

It takes longer for the monsters to die so it gives Karini more chances to proc, giving you enhanced defenses and it gives you more chances to have a critical hit to keep your Arcane up.

Firebird’s Finery explosive blast build not working?

So I’ve put together the full explosive blast disintegrate build, the same one everyone the leaderboards is using. Yet I’ve found that I’m really doing almost no damage and I’m running out of mana incredibly quickly. All my damage is coming from my explosive blast which has a very small AoE and feels bad to play, and I don’t have the mana or a reason to use tornados as they do no damage. Am I missing something?

Are there nearly as powerful variants I could use that would fix this problem, such as the Flame Blades? I guess I’m failing to see how to play this build and what exactly is doing my damage.

Any explanations or helps would be much appreciated!

looking for an old item

Ive been getting back into the game recently and I was looking for an old item that was in the game around year 1 that slowed projectile speed down to a craw.

This was used in conjunction with shocking pluses- piercing orb to launch 100s of orbs that moved slowly and hit targets multiple times. I was hoping someone might know the name, or if it's even still in the game.

Wizard bulid

I use Tal Rasha as my main and been using it with Guardian. Would it be better to switch it to Aughild? My numbers go down alot if I switch it. Do number not matter as much as I think? New to playing this season
