General notes playing FB in seasonal HC PTR…
On the latest 2.0.7.73794 PTR patch, I think it’s interesting that certain skills on 6pc Firebird’s play just like Vyr’s - it’s really uncanny how close the playstyle is now. This is a 6pc FB speed I clipped:

So if you like Vyr’s, teleporting around the map blowing stuff up, you should like that type of FB build. Teleport, boom-boom, teleport, boom-boom. Keep stacks up with the beam. Pretty straightforward.
Another thing - with disintegrate/chaos nexus applying ignite, being Arcane, you can get a separate-bucket 15% Elemental Exposure dmg buff which was unexpected for FIREbirds (fire, arcane, your weapon’s element which is cold for mine). Because of the 5sec timer where you have to reapply element dmg, it’s not an issue in speeds since they’re blown up long before then.
