Mechanics and historical version
Six body Firebird pieces and The Furnace form the two-handed setup. Apocalypse and Mammoth Hydra establish the historical Firebird DoT; this is not today’s Disintegrate/Combustion build.

Legendary gems and Kanai’s Cube
Legendary gems: Bane of the Powerful; Zei's Stone of Vengeance; Gem of Efficacious Toxin.
Kanai’s Cube: unavailable. It arrived with patch 2.3 / Season 4; do not add three extra legendary powers.
Rotation and positioning
Place Blizzard and Hydra along the route, ignite elites, and keep moving under control. Event Horizon removes suitable projectiles and Mirror Image distracts. Save Teleport for dangerous gaps. Stay near the guardian: 2.1.2 pauses the DoT when too far away.
Stats, sockets and progression
Prioritize Fire, critical stats, Intelligence and a strong weapon damage range. Socket a weapon emerald; build Armor and Vitality against melee hits. Use distance for Zei without leaving the guardian’s DoT range.
Archive boundaries and source review
This is a dated archive configuration optimized for its stated activity. Historical Greater Rift records are not inferred from current item tooltips; later set multipliers do not apply to this version.
The alternative Firebird’s Eye requires a one-handed weapon. Do not add an off-hand to The Furnace.
