The new season, especially if you’ve never played the seasons in Diablo 3, can be a bit difficult.
This is my Diablo 3 Toon for Season 5 and the new 2.4 patch. This is my first seasonal character and she’s pretty new at level 146 in the start of the video at the end of this guide. It can be rough just starting out, so I just want to go over the skills that work well for me right now.
At the moment, she’s pretty much a fire wizard. She’s using the Firebird’s set with the exception of the orb.
Firebird’s Finery:
Firebird’s Plume with Royal Diamond
Firebird’s Breast with Royal Topaz and 2 Flawless Imperial Topaz
Firebird’s Down with 2 Royal Topazes
Firebird’s Talons
Firebird’s Pinions
Firebird’s Tarsi
Tal Rasha (2 Items)
Tal Rasha’s Brace (Waist)
Tal Rasha’s Allegiance (Amulet) – Attempting to reroll for a socket
*I like these two items for the meteor.
Rings
Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac
Convention of Elements w/ Bane of the Stricken Gem
Bracers
Demon’s Animus – crafted from the Blacksmith
Wand and Offhand
Orb of Infinite Depth
Blackhand Key Weapon
**The two gems I’m currently on the watch for are esoteric alteration and bane of the trapped.**
Skills
Primary – Electrocute with Forked Lightening Rune
Secondary – Disintegrate with Convergence
Force – Hydra/Blazing Hydra

Defensive – Teleport/Wormhole
Mastery – Black Hole/Blazar
Passive Skills
Audacity

Illusionist

Kanai’s Cube
The Furnace
Cindercoat
Overwhelming Desire
With this current build, I can do a torment level 5 comfortably solo. The resurrection does come in handy but it only does it like once so be aware of that.
If you’re making a season character, you can’t share with other Toons that are normal so you have to start over with the Kanai’s cube. The same goes for gold, gems, and upgrading your artisans.
I hope this helps and if there are any questions you have, I’ll do my best to help.
Here is the video below for a walkthrough of this build and other tips.
Thank you so much and have fun!
