MagnumSet

The item set

Delsere's Magnum Opus is a 6 piece class item set for Wizards for level 70, focused on constant use of Slow Time. This set can only drop at Torment difficulty. It was added in patch 2.2.0.

All set pieces are restricted to Wizards only. Even transmogrification of these items is only available to Wizard class.

Pieces[]

Aaron-gaines-x1-armors-03

The set consists of six pieces. All six are required to complete the set, and all of them are Wizard-restricted.

Set Bonus[]

  • Hitting an enemy with Arcane Orb, Energy Twister, Magic Missile, Shock Pulse, Spectral Blade, Electrocute, or Arcane Torrent also casts Slow Time at them. This effect will not trigger if the target is already inside a slow time bubble. The cooldown of Teleport will reset while you're inside bubbles generated from this set or cast by you. (2 pieces)
  • You take 75% reduced damage while you have a Slow Time active. Allies within your Slow Time gain half benefit. (4 pieces)
  • Enemies affected by your Slow Time and for 5 seconds after exiting take 12,500% increased damage from your Arcane Orb, Energy Twister, Magic Missile, Shock Pulse, Spectral Blade, Electrocute, and Arcane Torrent abilities. (6 pieces)

The first bonus creates Slow Time bubbles with most secondary projectiles of the listed skills, such as Arcane Torrent's Static Discharge shocks and Arcane Orb's Frozen Orb shards. Slow Time does not need to be in the player's action bar.

The Teleport cooldown reset happens the moment the Wizard enters a Slow Time and remains in effect constantly; they may cast Teleport as fast as their cast speed allows while inside bubbles. Teleporting from inside to outside the bubble has a normal cooldown.

The second and third bonuses work with the Archon version of Slow Time, although considering the nature of the third bonus, it is pointless to use this set in tandem with Archon.

The third bonus effect is multiplicative, and applies to any enemies even partially touched by at least one Slow Time sphere, even if they are immune to Crowd Control.

Synergies[]

For extra effect, one may combine this set with Crown of the Primus. If Slow Time is in player's action bar, the Crown will cause a Slow Time bubble to follow the player (no casting required), and the player can still cast Slow Time manually and cause them with the set 2-piece bonus; these latter bubbles do not move. The bubble that follows the player does not provide the 2-piece Teleport bonus, but works with all the others.

Also helpful are items that empower the other skills affected by this set, such as The Twisted Sword or Unstable Scepter.

Gesture of Orpheus is generally not useful with the updated version of this set, since active casting of Slow Time is done rarely or not at all.

Bugs[]

A quirk occurs when Teleport's Wormhole rune is used, which normally allows a second Teleport within 3 seconds before its cooldown activates. The 3 second period is not reset by being in a bubble, so exiting a Slow Time bubble within 3 seconds of Teleporting into or within it causes Teleport to go on cooldown 3 seconds after the cast. This may be a bug, since this occurs even if the Teleport into the bubble is the second cast of the Wormhole pattern, in which case it would've gone on cooldown immediately, and therefore should be reset.

Some players have reported Slow Time not always activating when enemies are hit with the appropriate skills.[1]

Previous Set Bonus[]

This set formerly required active casting of Slow Time, worked with slightly different abilities, and was tuned differently:

  • Casting Explosive Blast, Wave of Force, Arcane Orb, Energy Twister, Magic Missile, Spectral Blade or Shock Pulse reduces the remaining cooldown of Slow Time by 3 seconds. (2 pieces)
  • The Wizard takes 60% reduced damage while they have a Slow Time sphere up, and allies within the sphere take 30% reduced damage. (4 pieces)
  • Enemies affected by Slow Time take 12500% more damage from Arcane Orb, Energy Twister, Explosive Blast, Wave of Force, Magic Missile, Spectral Blade and Shock Pulse. This effect, as well as Slow Time's usual effects, persist for 5 seconds after enemies leave the sphere. (6 pieces)

The first bonus triggered even if the skills did not hit an enemy.
