Why does Blizzard hate Disintegrate?
There is exactly ONE item that increases Disintegrate damage, and it only increases it by a worthless 25% whereas there are a ton of items that increase damage for garbage non thematical pure game mechanic crap like Explosive Blast and Energy Twister. Yeah there was a sword that also provided a 100%ish damage increase, but that is nothing compared to the 1200% damage increase you get for the two aforementioned trashy non thematic skills.
Disintegrate is the most thematical Wizard skill, the skill that encompasses the concept of the Wizard (female at least). But it has NEVER had its damage increased to a level where it was sufficient to be the primary source of damage. At best it was used to support Etched Sigil builds, an item which has been NERFED INTO THE GROUND and turned into another Blizzard loves Energy Twister and hates Disintegrate item.
Disintegrate NEEDS to either by able to frontload all its damage without buildup or the new items made for Disintegrate need to provide MASSIVE DEFENSE BOOSTS. 25% defense boost is pathetic for a skill that requires the Wizard to stand in place for an extended period of time. Especially when the item for Explosive Blast increases defense by around 75% and Explosive Blast can be used while moving.
STOP LOVING ENERGY TWISTER AND EXPLOSIVE BLAST AND START LOVING DISINTEGRATE.

Try playing Firebirds where disintegrate is pretty much required.
Disintegrate’s required, but it’s not the primary damage dealer of the set. That’s what the OP is pretty much asking for.
Does not matter if it does all the damage - it is necessary to build up and release it making it “must use.”
If the want is to not use a set, sure, fine, whatever but saying it is not available currently is asinine.
Also, disintegrate is not the “most thematic skill.”
Again, the OP isn’t saying that Disintegrate isn’t being used. They’re saying that it doesn’t do enough damage, due to the lack of support legendary items. In short, they’re asking for Disintegrate to be buffed. It likely won’t happen though.
In Season 1 & 2 Disintegrate battled with an DH setup. And in Vanilla D3 it was viable. But it would definitly not hurt to have some supporting legendaries.

Its.not that disintegrate is a black magic spell. The effect of ice is a standard slowing effect in the game design. Its easier to get spell components for casting an freeze ray, then casting wish, or death ray.
The issue is that some builds require disintegrate, to deal X damage, where there is no boosted unit. The way I see this, the items that cast there own effect where better at survival, Stormcrow, and other additional attack spells that deal weapon damage.
I need more coverage on worlds that produce a unit illusion, and we only get a few examples of an active oracle, that shows what the world would produce. An active oracle should be the story
