Wizard Explosive Blast Farming Build With Tal Rasha Set
Introduction
Tal Rasha's Elements set is one of the signature sets in the Diablo franchise, and has been used in numerous builds and metas over the years in its Diablo 3 iteration. One of its undeniable applications is the so-called "Flashfire" Wizard — an ostentatious, Explosive Blast-focused build that relies on snowballing power. This guide will cover all of its available playstyles. The base one presented on this page is the Greater Rift Speed Farming Variation, but this build also has a Nephalem Rift Farming Variation; follow the links above to the respective alterations.
