Diablo 4 Sorcerer BuildArc Lash - Verathiel
Arc Lash is a basic skill lightning build that hits hard and fast. It is very easy to play as you just run up on enemies and hack away. You will have permanent uptime on your Unstable Currents Ultimate for even more attack speed and create a ton of Lightning skills out of thin air.
Arc Lash is poised to hit harder than ever the addition of the new Unique Verathiel Sword. In addition, Arc Lash received a buff to it's Flickering skill tree node that will grant 50% bonus damage to bosses and groups of 3 or more enemies.
The Verathiel Sword makes Arc Lash cost 25 mana and deal much more damage. It also enables us to use the mythic ring Starless Skies. Sorcerer does a very good job at handling mana concerns, so it should not be an issue.
Enchantments • Teleport Enchantment - Is taken in conjunction with attacks reduce evade boots and the Raiment chest to group enemies with every evade
Ice Blade Enchantment - is taken to get more conjuration mastery stacks and reduce cooldowns when ice blades attack things
How do we apply Burning? • When you do not have familiars on the skill bar, Familiars made during Unstable currents will default to fire familiars and can apply burning • Since we are always fighting in melee range, these familiars will always be applying burning around us when we need it
• If you want to run Tyrael's Might for damage reduction you can, you will just be reliant on the KRY over OHM or MOT • If you have resource problems use LUM over WAT • You can use critical strike damage, vulnerable damage, shock critical strike damage, or lightning damage tempers • Adjust Crit chance as needed to get 100% • Greater affixes on Perdition and/or Starless skies MAY overcap you • If you want more damage run concussive strikes on pants • Worst case scenario you can run Flickerstep Boots to keep Unstable Currents up
strengths
Easy to play & Fast- Great Crowd Control
weaknesses
Boss Damage can Lack- Single Target Elite Damage
Build Notes
1) We will be spamming Arc Lash and Ice blades whenever we can, while evading into enemies to clump them with Raiment
2) We utilize Ice armor defensively for a large barrier, and you can pretty much press it whenever it comes off cooldown in the endgame builds. It is typically an engage.
3) Teleport is used for mobility, to dodge exploding pools, or as an engage to clump enemies out of range of our evade teleport
4) Flame shield is used to immune frame boss/shade attacks and exploding pools. You can also use it as an engage if Ice armor is down.
5) Unstable Currents can be used liberally and frequently when fighting enemies. Don't worry you'll get it back!
How it works This build utilizes the Verathiel Sword to allow Arc Lash to pump out big damage, at the expense of now costing 25 mana. We utilize the Starless Skies Ring to help mitigate this cost, as well as the innate mana regeneration that comes with the Conjuration Mastery Passive.
This build runs attacks reduce evade boots with teleport enchantment so that you can have high uptime on teleport evades. Combined with the Raiment chest piece, every teleport or evade teleport will clump enemies together. This pairs very well with the Flickering Arc lash node that grants arc lash 50% more damage when hitting bosses or clumps of 3+ enemies.
Arc Lash is pure melee and it's a pretty fun skill to use. There are not really any damage rotations, you mainly spam arc lash and evade around clumping enemies, then booping them with Arc Lash until they fall over. Hack away at bosses until they die. It's a fast paced build that should be pretty fun. Because you are running Raiment, you will be a little squishy! But luckily Lightning skill builds have some pretty solid ways to get damage reduction in the skill tree. Enjoy!
