Welcome to Our Diablo 4 Sorcerer leveling guide! In this guide, we will focus on a lightning Diablo 4 build for the Sorcerer class, which we believe will be incredibly powerful and effective throughout the game. Sorcerers excel at dealing area of effect (AoE) damage, and this build will allow you to quickly clear rooms of enemies and take on challenging bosses with ease. So let's dive in and create a devastating lightning-wielding Sorcerer!

↖ Leveling Skills

• Arc Lash (Generator): Arc Lash is the best generator skill for the Sorcerer class. It has a wide coverage and can hit an infinite number of enemies. Take the enhanced Large Lash rune, which grants an additional swipe on a critical hit. This skill will serve as the foundation of our lightning build.
• Chain Lightning (Primary Skill): Chain Lightning is the ideal primary skill for this lightning-focused build. Even though it has been nerfed, it remains incredibly powerful. Chain Lightning bounces between you and enemies, dealing increasing damage with each bounce. This skill will be crucial for clearing rooms and taking down bosses.
• Teleport and Frost Nova (Defensive Skills): Take Teleport and Frost Nova for mobility and crowd control. Teleport allows you to quickly maneuver around the battlefield, while Frost Nova freezes enemies and makes them vulnerable. This combination will help you control the flow of battle and deal with tough situations.
• Ice Armor (Secondary Skill): Choose Ice Armor over Flame Shield for its longer duration and mana regeneration. This skill will provide additional defense and mana sustain for your Sorcerer.
• Devouring Blaze (Ultimate Skill): Devouring Blaze is your ultimate skill. It deals high damage to enemies in close proximity, making it perfect for clearing out large groups. Use it in combination with Chain Lightning for devastating area damage.

↖ Leveling Progression

• 1-15: Start by maxing out Arc Lash and putting one point into Chain Lightning. Focus on clearing areas quickly with Arc Lash while using Chain Lightning to deal with tougher enemies.
• 15-30: Invest in the Mystic Frost Nova skill. This skill automatically makes enemies vulnerable, which synergizes well with Chain Lightning's increasing damage. Put points into Chain Lightning to maximize its potential, and use Teleport and Frost Nova for mobility and crowd control.
• 30-45: Unlock the Enchantment slot at level 15 and put one point into it. Most players opt for Fireball, but we recommend skipping it. Instead, focus on the lightning synergy of Chain Lightning and Arc Lash. Continue to invest in Arc Lash and Chain Lightning, making sure to get the most out of their enhanced runes.
• 45-60: Acquire the Crackling Energy ultimate skill. While not the best ultimate for this build, it can still be useful when used in combination with other skills. Use it sparingly and focus on maximizing your damage output with Chain Lightning and Arc Lash.
• 60+: Take Glass Cannon to increase your damage output significantly, but be aware that it also increases the damage you take. Balancing offense and defense is essential for survival. Continue investing in the Chain Lightning and Arc Lash skills to amplify their effectiveness.

 

↖ Legendary Powers

When considering legendary powers, we focus on those that can be farmed from specific dungeons using the Codex of Power. These powers are readily available and provide consistent benefits. Some recommended legendary powers for this lightning build include:

• Elementalist Aspect (Dry Steps, Act 3): Enhances chain lightning cast at or above 100 mana, providing a substantial increase in critical strike chance.
• Edge Masters (Old Stones, Act 2): Grants additional damage based on your primary resource, providing a constant damage boost.
