Swap out Ranslor's folly with Ancient Parthan Defenders for more defense at the cost of crowd control.

Change the Glass Cannon passive to Conflagration, or Blur, in that order, for more defense when building up your gear.

Note: I have 7% melee reduction as well on my Ranslor's folly which is a blessing.

Build Guide

Idle Hands are the devil's playground!

Play solo or in groups

Inspiration credits: http://www.diablofans.com/builds/70102-2-4-t6-firebird-starter-build

This build can be (mostly) played with a free hand for your beer, your phone, etc.

I never liked Explosive Blast and Black Hole, and I wanted to be able to play solo AND in groups at the same time, and that is why I started gathering some gear that I had to build something new, and this is what it's become.It's an insanely twisted build!

Playstyle:

Fighting enemies close (<15 yards)
Make Energy twister hit enemies for increased (15%) damage
Cast disintegrate as much as possible which creates alot of energy twisters
Minimize movement to keep 100% damage bonus from the ring/neck set
Hit as many enemies with disintegrate as possible. Each direct hit increases your damage because of the firebird 6 set bonus.

More recent video with better gear will come later.
