↖ Introducing the Charged Bolt Sorcerer Build

Charged Bolts is inspired by a favorite build of mine where teleporting into enemies triggers a cascade of bolts. But hold on, there's more!

↖ The Controversial Twist: Fireball VA Enchantment

This is a controversial take on the Fireball VA enchantment. Combine it with Devouring Blaze, Flame Fleur glyph, and Burning Instinct to create a fiery synergy. The new Season 2 feature X'Fal's Corroded Signet, combined with this combo, creates a spectacular explosion when you deal damage.

↖ Why Charge Bolts?

With Charged Bolts, multiple bolts are released, each counting as a separate hit. This means every bolt adds to the Firebolt enchantment's damage over time, increasing the chance of the Corroded Signet's explosive damage to be activated. You can stack up immense Firebolt damage with just one Charged Bolt, turning your Bolts into devastating explosion machines.

↖ Around the Charged Bolts

The core concept of this build is to enhance Charged Bolts to not only obliterate high-tier content, but also to do so from a safe distance, making you extraordinarily tanky.

↖ Skill Tree Strategy

↖ Aspects and gear

Legendary Aspects

Focus on aspects that enhance Charged Bolt's piercing ability and increase lucky hit chances.

Unique

Tailor your gear towards enhancing critical strike chances, lucky hit rates, and reducing mana costs.

Tal Rasha's set is a key item because of its incredible damage output.

↖ Vampiric powers

Select a combination of attack speed, critical hit chance, and abilities that amplify damage against cursed or weakened enemies.

↖ Gameplay tactics

• Maintain Elemental Balance: Use Blizzard periodically to maintain cold damage from Trasher's effect.
• Spam Charged Bolts: Your primary attack deals massive damage while setting up explosive combos.
• Use defensive skills: Flame Shield and Teleport are crucial to survival and mana regeneration.

↖ Paragon Board Pathing

Choose boards that enhance non-physical damage, lucky hits, and mana management. Prioritize glyphs that complement your Charged Bolt-centric playstyle.
