↖ Enchantments and Gear Choices

• Helmet: Harle Crest (Sho) is the most effective option, but Binding Embers can be effective on specific maps.
• Chest Armor: Aspect of Fortune or other viable alternatives like Disobedience and the Everliving Aspect.
• Gloves and Rings: Aim for flawless crit to maintain a high crit chance without Esu's Heirloom, allowing for additional defensive options.

 

↖ Strategy and adaptability

This build requires you to adapt based on the map and objectives. In certain situations, the Shield Dome skill can be of great use. It's crucial to adjust your skills and gear to each map's specific requirements.

 

↖ Prioritizing survival

The key to speedrunning in Diablo 4 is staying alive. Death costs precious time, which can knock you out of the leaderboard race. This build emphasizes defensive capabilities without sacrificing too much offensive power.

 

↖ Gear Focus

• Survivability: Stack defensive stats like armor and resistance, especially at higher Sigil levels.
• Mana Management: Chain lightning is essential to the maintenance of mana.
• Damage Reduction: Consider gear and enchantments that offer damage reduction, especially at close quarters.

 

↖ Skill Tree and Paragon Points

• Skill Tree: Focus on maximizing Flame Shield and Elemental Attunement for survivability and utility.
• Paragon Board: Balance offensive and defensive nodes, with a possible emphasis on Unleash for added damage.

 

↖ Ball lightning optimization

Ball Lightning is one of the most important components of this build. It must be optimized to maximize efficiency. It should activate quickly and stun effectively, but it should be noted that the effects of stuns diminish with time.

 

↖ Final Thoughts

Build for Ball Lightning Sorceress is designed for elite players looking to dominate the Sigil 100 leaderboards in Diablo 4 Season 2. It requires a blend of tactical skill adjustments, optimal gear selection, and a thorough understanding of the gameplay.
