The new patch (2.4.1) has given more power to Firebird's set (Firebird's Finery (6) Set Bonus / Damage bonus for each enemy burning increased from 25% to 40%Damage bonus when an Elite is burning increased from 600% to 2000%). This build make you more safe with other combinations, and keep your dmg higher.

- Use Oculus Ring on your followers, patch; (Patch 2.4.1: Oculus Ring / Will now also be activated by your kills if equipped on your follower), enjoy the area of damage;
- Use illusionist for high mobility and Mirror image protection;
- Use Teleport to Dmg abs;
Passive Variation:
- Swap Unstable Anomaly to Unwavering;
Gem's:
- Non-legendary
+ Helm - Flawless Royal Amethyst
+ Torso & Pants - Flawless Royal Topaz
+ Weapon - Flawless Royal Emerald
- Legendary
+ Bane of the stricken (help in the continuing damage)
+ Esoteric Alteration (Better Survival)
+ Taeguk (10 stacks every time, I think it is better than Bane of the Trapped);
Generally are many mobs along with an elite group, making the area of the disintegration is somewhat more effective. But is really a good idea, the test is valid.
I think Esoteric Alteration would still be necessary even with the use of Flame Ward, the 25% reduction would not be as significant reduction compared to the legendary gem provides, but, i'm not test with Bane of the trapped in 3º slot. The reduction of Halo + Crystallize + Taeguk It is sufficient to specific physical damage (Which jewelry you use instead of the halo?).
The MI is a different type of "damage reduction", it changes the target for the clones, in addition to stun. It is a different alternative to a leak or protection, I enjoyed the use with illusionist. I tried to use the Ancient Parthan Defenders, but the mobs come close very fast .
