Build Overview

Ball Lightning has always been a fun build to play, switching up from the Sorcerer's usual range. This build will go over everything you need from starting in Torment 1 to getting to Torment 12.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Solid Single Target DPS
  • Good Movement
  • Decent Defense
  • Basically melee
  • Small AoE
  • Mana dependent

An alternative to Tal Rasha's Iridescent Loop for more damage would be Blood-Mad Idol but this will make you very squishy. It will grant you a lot of damage but you will have to take some damage regularly as well. I would not recommend this for hardcore players.

Another alternative would also be Stone of Jordan, as a more safe option.

There are so many unlocked skills, how should they be used? The guide doesn't say anything, for example: all the defense skills, the blades, the familiar, etc.

I've been running ball lightning too, so hopefully this answers questions:

use static surge + unleash for mana (maybe resource proc temper if needed)

ball lightning is strong on its own but upkeep UC via lightning familiar + CDR

they have starless listed for resource management but I don't use it, and even have less than 75 max resource, and my mana Regen is good

I'm only Paragon 250 but that's because of other reasons, but I have reached around 60-80 trillion

there is absolutely no walkthrough or explanation for mana management the damage is there, but the cooldowns are rediculious i see bursts of dps but it fizzles out when unstable currents ends like where is the help here?
