Hey all, so with the real massive change to our class being the buff to Firebirds, I just wanted to know if any of you jumped on PTR and have any good working builds..
Over this weekend I messed around a bit with a few and for example I'll post mine what I did and explain my choices. please feel free to follow up and do the same. I am looking for great ideas my self!
With the changes to blizzard both in damage, return on life on hit, and it's 100% chance to freeze for 2 seconds it's rather powerful now.
In addition being able to freeze them in place and drop the extra crazy mammoth Hydra on them with blizzard and hydra melting.. you can also spam away the meteors and by then it's game over even on T6, finish them off with some conflags if you absolutely need, but the dot ticks from Firebirds and hydra alone generally do the trick.
Anywho I tried a bunch out and like this one, but always looking for new ways to try, post your builds here!
For higher GRIFTS this is the best way and only way without furnace
Serpent sparker 2550+ dps, unity and soj. FB chest, helm, legs, offhand, boots, gloves. strong arm bracers. 15% dmg and 6%cc with 50%chd is too big to use a stupid rorg and try throwing aughilds.
Note : On all FB pieces. Int, Vit, %life. Damage is taken care of as long as your toughess is over 17M when still or 34M with unity you are golden.
Not sure how that is the only build without furnace...
I use a standard Mirror ball, MM build with Hydra. Works perfectly solo up to Greater Rift level 32 so far. I'm still using a rare ammy because i have yet to find a fire ammy with CC, CD and INT combo.
Gear:
Firebird's: Helm,Chest,Gloves,Pants,Boots.
Aughild's: Shoulder's and Bracer's.
Fire Ammy.
SOJ and RORG, Leg gem for signature spell dmg and atk speed chance on hit.
Serpernt Sparker and Mirror Ball.
I thought mammoth and mirror images simply didn't stack the Fire Bird dot but didn't interfere/reset the dot stacking from your own spells. If it actually breaks the dot stacking then I really hope they fix it.

I just read that if you attack first, hydra doesnt interfere with the dot. But, I hope they fix it so they do stack the dot
Since hydra's interaction with FB6 is fixed, I'll probably use http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#aiQlSO!dhgZ!ccZZZc
Gear setup will be: Serpent Sparker + Mirrorball + Hellfire amulet + Witching Hour + 2 x Aughilds (shoulders, bracers) + 5 x FB (boots, pants, chest, gloves, helm).
Before Hydra was fixed I was going to use http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#alQNSO!dRgZ!cZZcZc In that case gear would be: Thunderfury + Mirrorball + Strongarm bracers + 5 x FB (boots, pants, chest, gloves, shoulders) + 3 x Talrasha's (helm, amulet, belt).

DOES FURNACE ON MY ENCHANTRESS WORK?

On another note, in GR if you don't have on Aughild's your not making it very far unless you use double unity...

I like the CC that I get from blizzard, then drop 2 hydras and let MM and familiar do the rest
