Build Overview

Disclaimer: Static Field Blizzard has had it's scaling reduced significantly for Season 14, but it's still a top tier leveling build for transferring into a lightning based build for the endgame. It is no longer an Endgame option due to it NOT being able to critically strike. Even with the Fundamental Release buffs, it will get out-scaled by any critical strike variant Shock Build.

IMPORTANT - Static Field Blizzard will not unlock until you are ~level 30. You can use my IncinerateHydra build found here: https://mobalytics.gg/diablo-4/builds/incinerate-sorcerer-leveling until then easily.

Please read through the How it works section of the planner and if you have further questions you can join me live on Twitch, YouTube. If you have questions while I'm not live, join Discord. We have a team and community ready to answer all your questions!

Leveling Path

Skills

Fire Bolt 1/15 Points: Utility spell, extra points do nothing for us

Resource Generation Fire Bolt Generates resource for us during boss fights
Twin Flame Fire Bolt Double the mana regen and double the overpowers

Frozen Orb 1/15 Points: Utility Enchantment, applies vulnerable to everything for us as well as applies Crowd Control.

Barrier Frozen Orb Provides some defense through shielding.
Duration Bonus Frozen Orb Flies longer = more stuff becomes vulnerable
Shattered Path Frozen Orb What applies "Vulnerable"

Teleport 1/15 Points: Utility Spell, Extra Point stun a little longer, but not enough to devote + points into

Ferocity Teleport Attacking faster means faster rotations and smoother gameplay
Weaken Teleport Allows us to be more tanky
Wormhole Teleport Can now double teleport

Ice Armor 15/15 Points: Makes you invincible due to armor effecting general damage reduction rather than just Physical Damage.

Cooldown Reduction Ice Armor Smaller Cooldown means its up more often
Duration Bonus and Barrier Ice Armor Longer uptime and more armor
Permafrost Ice Armor unstoppable means we cannot be crowd controlled + even more armor

Frost Nova 15/15 Points: Elongates the freeze duration which comes in handy in a tough situation.

Resource Generation Frost Nova Hit Stuff = Get mana back
Vulnerable Frost Nova Free Vulnerable application for +20%[x] damage multiplier
Cold Front Frost Nova Can now cast at target location means no more putting yourself in danger to freeze anything.

Blizzard 15/15 Points: Main Damage

Damage Bonus Blizzard We freeze very often with Frozen Orb and Frost Nova, More Damage
Seek and Duration Bonus Blizzard More uptime = More Dps
Static Field Blizzard Scales at wild amount, make no sense. Big Damage

Ultimate:

Unstable Currents 15/15 Points: Massive DPS Increase

Cooldown Reduction Unstable Currents Shorter CD = More Burst Cycles
Damage Bonus Unstable Currents More Damage
Thunder God Unstable Currents Echoes cast to do even more dps. This will be replaced by Boundless Unstable Currents once we have enough cooldown reduction and Esadora's Overflowing Cameo

Mercenaries

Subo: Map hacks are over powered. Also boost DoT damage and Static Field Blizzard is a DoT

Aldkin: Gives Damage Reduction, we are sorcs and therefore we are squish.

Build Overview

Defenses
