↖ Transitioning to Torment

When you reach level 55 and enter Nightmare difficulty, it's time to switch from your leveling build to this devastating sorcerer build. The key here is that you can easily clear Torment dungeons even at low levels, and it doesn't rely on any specific gear or affixes. Just invest in the right skills and vampiric powers to become a god among mortals.

 

↖ Unparalleled Survivability and Damage

This build offers unparalleled survivability and damage output. You won't be randomly one-shotted by foes, thanks to the long-awaited working resistances for the sorcerer. Now, let's break down the skill tree and its components.

 

↖ Skill Tree

• Elemental Mastery: Go for "Enhanced" and "Glinting" for reduced cooldowns.
• Warding and Fireball: Invest in "Potent Warding" for extra tankiness and put one point in "Fireball."
• Defensive Skills: Max out "Flame Shield" and "Heal" while getting "Teleport" with "Enhanced" and "Shimmering."
• Offensive Skills: "Frost Nova" to "Enhanced" and add "Elemental Achievement" for increased damage.
• Conjuration Mastery: Max out "Conjuration Mastery" for more Lightning Spears and get "Invoked."
• Ball Lightning: Select "Ball Lightning" as the Mastery.
• Static Discharge: Get three ranks of "Static Discharge" to keep generating Crackling Energy and reducing Unstable Currents' cooldown.
• Unstable Currents: Go for "Prime" and "Supreme" to reduce the cooldown even further.
• Overflowing Energy: Grab this for maximum Crackling Energy uptime.
• Protection: Acquire "Protection" for extra defense.
• Enchantments: Use "Fireball" for additional burst damage and "Ball Lightning" for increased damage on crits.

 

↖ Playing the Build

Playing this sorcerer build is straightforward. Keep spamming "Arc Clash" to eliminate foes. Use "Lightning Spear" to stun enemies when you're in danger and to increase your damage output. Ensure that you maintain "Vulnerable" on enemies at all times. Use "Freeze Time" to create space and boost your survivability. When dealing with groups, activate "Rayment of the Infinite."

For massive packs, elites, or bosses, activate "Unstable Currents" to unleash a barrage of damage and stuns. "Flame Shield" serves as your emergency button. Your gameplay revolves around timing and managing your cooldowns effectively.

 

↖ Gear and Legendary Aspects

• Jewelry: Slot armor skulls for added survivability.
• Weapons: Focus on crit damage to vulnerable enemies and extra health on your armor.
• Necklace Aspects: Prioritize "Rapid," "Gravitational," "Control," "Damage to Vulnerable Enemies," and "Damage with Barrier."
• Legendary Fixes: Aim for Critical Strike chance, Critical Strike damage, Lightning Critical Strike damage, Lucky Hit chance, and Cooldown Reduction. Also, invest in attack speed and consider ranks for skills summoned by Unstable Currents or Ball Lightning.

 

↖ Vampiric Powers

• Anticipation: Reduces your ultimate's cooldown by 20%.
• Hemomancy: Offers a healing effect and a damage boost from absorbing a percentage of enemy health.
• Ravenous: Provides a significant Lucky Hit chance and enhances your attack speed.
• Moonrise: Grants even more attack speed and movement speed, along with a damage increase.
• Hectic: Reduces cooldowns each time you cast a basic skill, further increasing your uptime on Unstable Currents.

 

Remember, Hemomancy can be swapped out for another power depending on your preferences. The synergy between these powers and your skills is what makes this build so formidable.

 

↖ Paragon Board

Prioritize Elemental resist nodes for added survivability. Also, invest in extra maximum life if you use Hemomancy. Unlock glyph slots and choose "Aspect of Control" for damage against stunned and frozen enemies.
