Damage engine and purpose
Disintegrate ignites and builds Combustion; manual Spectral Blades trigger the set hit. Fragment and Shame speed signature attacks while Orb supplies protection.
Item, skill and rune names use their English game spelling for unambiguous lookup. Explanations, rotation and limitations are fully translated.

Legendary and normal gems
Legendary gems: Bane of the Trapped / Gogok of Swiftness / Bane of the Stricken.
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, signature attack speed, CDR and toughness. There is no Enforcer/Mirror Image multiplier now; maintain Combustion and Orb.
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 with Disintegrate and stack Orb through Explosive Blast.
Step 2
Apply Black Hole/Frost Nova to the pack and personally trigger the set bonus through Flame Blades.
Step 3
Briefly channel again as Combustion expires, then resume manual attacks.
Patch boundaries and verifiable context
The bar is the clear manual successor to the old Image build. Removal of pet triggering is documented in the guide’s Season 25 changelog and Blizzard 2.7.2.
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.
