Damage engine and purpose
Disintegrate ignites targets and builds Combustion. Mirror Images use Flame Blades; their non-channelled Fire hits trigger the period Firebird bonus.
Item, skill and rune names use their English game spelling for unambiguous lookup. Explanations, rotation and limitations are fully translated.
Six skills and runes
| Skill · rune | Function |
|---|---|
| Spectral Blade · Flame Blades | Signature hits, flame bonus or shielding according to rune. |
| Disintegrate · Chaos Nexus | Channel; with Firebird ignite enemies and build Combustion. |
| Explosive Blast · Chain Reaction | Orb of Infinite Depth stacks or Firebird hits. |
| Magic Weapon · Deflection | Persistent buff; selected rune provides shielding or sustain. |

Legendary and normal gems
Legendary gems: Taeguk / Bane of the Trapped / Enforcer.
Normally use an Emerald in weapon sockets; choose the helm socket for cooldown or Life needs. Match armour sockets to missing main stat or toughness. Seasonal Soul Shards replace helm or weapon gems only in the explicitly identified seasons.
Stats, cooldowns and optimisation
Fire, Intelligence, critical stats and CDR. Combustion, Orb stacks and Image uptime matter more than Disintegrate’s sheet tooltip.
Complete the required legendary powers, correct runes and full set bonuses first. Cooldown reduction combines multiplicatively; do not simply add percentage rolls. Weigh a boss gem against a farming gem according to actual boss-fight length.
Rotation: preparation, damage, refresh
Step 1
Ignite enemies with Disintegrate, build Combustion and stack Orb through Explosive Blast.
Step 2
Summon Mirror Images beside the pack and give their Flame Blades a clear target.
Step 3
Use Teleport for protection and position; check protection and Combustion before new Images.
Patch boundaries and verifiable context
The April 2021 source preserves the Mirror Image bar. Enforcer/Tasker genuinely refer to the triggering Images here.
2.7.2/Season 25 removes the pet trigger from Firebird’s six-piece bonus. This exact bar ends with Season 24 and is not copied into later seasons. Season 24 may replace the weapon with a suitable Ethereal carrying Deathwish.
Check before the next equipment change
Count set pieces before replacing a free armour slot. Equipping and cubing an identical legendary power does not double it. Solo Unity requires a follower wearing the other ring with immortality equipped.
This archive describes the period configuration. A current item database may show new numbers under the same name; those live tooltips do not prove historical multipliers. Old seasonal powers cannot be replayed on current non-seasonal characters.
