These items are selected to maximize the effectiveness of Explosive Blast's fire damage to proc the Firebird's 6 set bonus. With Cindercoat and Magefist you are pumping the fire damage with slots that normally wouldn't provide a boost. The key to this build is to remain mobile and avoid damage before teleporting in to deliver your payload. Illusory Boots are invaluable for getting out of mobs.

The Stongarm Bracers and BoT provide additional damage when you land on the Black Hole with the Teleport. The Furnace ensures you get the Firebird proc for that juicy bonus damage. I am currently using Calamity to compliment my Haunt of Vaxo amulet. However, getting a good passive, like Audacity or Conflaguration on a Hellfire Amulet is much better.

Rings can be changed to suit playing style. RRoG is good till you can get it into the Cube. Stone of Jordan gives you that extra elite damage, while Unity helps you survive in a team. It really depends what you have in the way of Ancients. This build is flexible, but the key sis Wand of Woh and Firebird's 6 with Strongarm bracers.

Gems are a mix of survival and damage delivery. BoT is invaluable for the damage boost at close range.

Attack speed is not an important stat for this build. Getting the Explosive Blast and Black Hole on fast cool down is the priority.

Since you are not hitting often it is important that those hits crit and do maximum damage.

Build Guide

I just started building this the other day after being inspired Kamswow's Firebird build. I wanted to use the same sort of play style but utilize my Wand of Woh. This is a much more 'active' damage dealing build that relies on delivering burst damage over and over again.

This build attempts to maximize 'first strike' damage to activate the Firebird's 6 set DoT. The concept of the Napalm build is to draw in enemies with Black Hole, Teleport to the epicenter, use Explosive Blast while the Strongarm Bracers' effect is in play, then escape while waiting for CD. With Calamity and BoT you also stack additional damage to deliver max damage. Surprise Suckers!

The build is flexible, but the key items are Wand of Woh, Firebird's 6 and Strongarm bracers. It is insanely fun and great for sending minions flying off the screen.
