I just leveled my Seasonal Hardcore to 70, have about 8-9 hours of lvl 70 gameplay. Prob less because of a lot of afk. Anyways, I got Wand of Woh and Thunderfury yesterday, and I am not really sure how to create a build around these 2 items. If you look at my profile (its at the bottom ), my ordinary HC is very defensive and depends a lot on CC.
I tried WoW, and didn't feel very comfortable standing in a crowd and explode. I guess that is just a question of CR and mitigation?
I feel more comfortable with Thunderfury, I can stand on a distance, and it procs a lot.
I am hoping for a good suggestion involving mirrorball, But any tip is welcome. I just love that 3 for 1 shot
Just for the record, I have about 1250 hours in this game, and I am a rookie. My max at ordinary HC is Grift 15, I was 30 seconds to late, but I still think it counts.. After all, I didn't die
I don't play hardcore or seasonal, but i have been rocking a Woh build since i found one about 5 months ago. Surviving the center of one's own private explosion is difficult, considering how the goal is to draw all the enemies to you, but here is what i find works:
I have a mirror ball, but i generally don't use or magic missile for my current Firebird-Woh build. I use Spectral Blades, Barrier Blades. That rune pops a shield that absorbs @ 10500 damage each time you use your spectral blades ability.
I use Force Weapon, Deflection. It also pops a shield for @ 10500 damage absorption (i can't remember the trigger there)
I vary between 350k and 400k health for T6. You don't need much more than that because mitigation is more important. Focus on Armor and Resist all after you hit a comfortable amount of life.
I use Blur even though i'm not doing Hardcore. You almost certainly want that as you are in hardcore.
I don't use Unstable Anomaly because, as i understand it, both UA and Firebird's proc when you die, blowing both cooldowns. (someone pls check that?). However, even if death triggers both to activate, the UA has a 60 second cd, so it may still be worth it to you.
After those, i have two general pieces of advice on gear, one for Regular Rifts and one for Greater Rifts:
IN REGULAR RIFTS:
If you have been lucky enough to find the Treasure Vault, you have a Boon of the Hoarder. If you slap that in a socket and use a Goldskin, you pretty much become invincible on higher Torments because the gold explosions from dying mobs hooks you up with about 20k-80k armor per explosion. Despite the 5 second CD on Goldskin, the CD gets reset every time you pick up gold, so if you are careful, you can run around a 1 minute long battle constantly increasing your armor and staying unkillable. Usually i leave patches of gold on the ground when i get near the time when the RG pops. This allows me to fight a running battle backwards through patches of invincibility (gold). Is it cheese? Totally. Does it work? :-)
IN GREATER RIFTS:
If you happen to want to rock a woh build in Grifts or if you don't want to cheese the game with boon/goldskin, you should invest your shards in getting Kadala to cough up a String of Ears. It really makes you beefier.
Unstable anomaly and Firebirds do actually proc separately. UA procs first and if you die again before it comes off CD, it pops your Firebirds. I have been in some bad packs where both go back to back and I die, but that's usually some molten fatties that chain explosions on me.

Hey Madrick.

Thank you for many good advices (thumbs up)

Thank you for clarifying, I have been wondering that my self.
