I'm returning to diablo after a quite long break (I left after the season 1), so still using the old firebird build.
What are the go to builds right now ? I've seen a lot of tal rasha, what are the advantages of this (tal rahsa) build compared to the "new" Delsere set or the firebird ?
Also what are the relative viability of the 3 sets, I have a decently optimized (well it was in 2.1 before the ancients items) firebird set, should I just jump to tal rasha as soon as I get the 6 pieces, or should I wait until I have a quite optimized sets with some ancients before switching ?
Delsere is interesting but Tal Rasha's simply trumps it hard. TR's damage output is simply to high.
In case you lack a good serpent sparker or Aether walker (for the teleport build) you can go 5 pieces TR 3 del's + ring of royal grandeur. This gives you the full TR but also the 2000% DPS time zones from delsere. This build works because of how the set bonuses work. While delsere's (6) bonus lets you deal more damage to targets in the time zone with specific spells, TR simply lets you deal more damage... with everything.... against everything. This ironically makes TR's (6) bonus better for delsere wizards than the delsere (6)
The only downside to the combo build is the lack of focus and restraint
long story short, your gear set is likely antiquated by todays standards, and is likely not anything remotely viable for the current "end game" setups, the most powerful set currently for wizards is tals, no question, firebirds is ok for T6 farming and nothing else really, still viable for really low level GR's (looking 25-35) but no higher without ancient items, as for what you should do in regards to gear, just stick to what you have and farm T6 rifts, gear up slowly with decently rolled ancient tals items as and when you find them, even non ancients on some slots are fine (like chest/helm etc), and wait for 2.3 before making a serious change because with the introduction of kanai's cube, things will be changing again and the revamp to vyr's set is also going to change some things, but that's just my advice.

Firebirds is pretty much useless.
