Firebird's Latest PTR Changes
A few changes to the Firebird's set went up earlier today with a Patch to the 2.4.1 build on PTR, tweaking some numbers around. This is likely one of the latest changes to the patch before it goes live! See the changelog below with the reasoning behind this change.

Hey all,
As you know, we're winding down on Patch 2.4.1's PTR, as the launch of Season 6 and the launch of the patch is nearly here. We've seen a lot of great testing, even after the PTR Feedback forums have come to a close. As a result of this testing, we've implemented a couple of changes you'll notice in today's patch:
Thorns of the Invoker
Firebird's Finery
- (2) Set Bonus
- Damage per stack increased from 25% to 35%
- Note: The maximum number of stacks has been reduced from 50 to 25
The long and short of why this change was made is that we were seeing both sets over-perform, particularly in certain monster distributions. This resulted in a very swingy experience that, over time and in the right conditions, became demonstrably higher than other options. As has continuously been our goal, we are striving for sets to be as close to one another as possible, and these two sets were outliers that rose very late in the PTR process. This makes it very likely that these changes will be going live with Patch 2.4.1.
- (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%
- Note: This damage bonus is now limited to a maximum of 60 stacks
These changes are intended to both bring these sets back in line with others and make their gameplay experience less dependent on fishing for the right monster distribution. As the PTR Feedback forums are closed, you're welcome to leave your feedback in this thread instead.
Thanks, as always, for your dedication to testing on the PTR and in sharing your thoughts with us through our development process!
S6 Barbarian & Monk Kadala Trick
Desolacer has shared an interesting Kadala trick for Monks and Barbarians once Season 6 starts! It involves buying specific items from her at specific character levels - watch it below.

Gosh that Barb set makes my head hurt. I could never play with that set/skill combo.
Did anyone tried a vault build, i tried , i had motion sickness...
I dont understand the stacks comment with invoker, can anyone explain where they are talking about stacks on the sets 2 piece?
If you hit quickly or block a lot, you gain stacks. They are acumulative and they last 2 seconds, so you can stack some of them. You can see in the screen an icon with the number of stacks. They increase your thorns damage. Now, the maximum number of stacks has been reduced from 50 to 25.
