Splendor of the Firebird: Wizard Build in Diablo 3

Good news for wizards in Diablo 3. The Splendor of the Firebird starter set is also the strongest for this class. How you can get the most out of the build with the right items and skills, you will learn in this article.

The set Splendor of the Firebird was the best option for wizards in previous seasons. Until recently, the set relied on the mirror image ability, but this skill was weakened for season 25. Nevertheless, the set is by far the strongest choice for magicians, even without a mirror image.

Firebird: equipment

In addition to the splendor of the fiery bird, the magician also wears the aughild set and the crimson set. To get the full set bonus of all three sets, you need the Ring of royal pomp. In our version of the build, this is activated in Kanai’s Cube.

Firebird: gems

You place these three legendary gemstones in your amulet and your two rings:

Due to the season theme, your helmet and your left weapon are already covered with a soul splinter. So you only have room for gems in your legs and armor. Until you have found a suitable soul splinter, however, you can also use a topaz in your helmet.

Firebird: Skills

The black hole helps you to fix groups of opponents in one heap. Only when you have bundled a large group in this way is the additional damage from this skill worthwhile. If that’s too cumbersome for you, you can use the ability instead Frost Nova with the rune Bone cold Select to deal 33% more damage to all frozen enemies.

Season 25 Soul Shards

In season 25 your equipment will be improved by powerful soul fragments. These disappear after the end of the season and should then be replaced by emeralds and topazes. So keep in mind that the build will be a bit weaker overall after the end of the season.
