Diablo 4 Sorcerer BuildDonTheCrown's Lightning Blender

This has points in 8 skills, but you only use 6. Firebolt and Chain Lightning are taken for enchantments and NOT ON YOUR BAR.

• Ball Lightning is your core skill and central to this build.
• Flame Shield is defensively invaluable and has offensive use through reduced mana cost and immobilization.
• Teleport is in every Sorcerer build for mobility.
• Lightning Spear is another Shock skill that benefits from our fast resets.
• Ice Blades really helps with cooldown reduction and mana.
• Unstable Currents is your ultimate and puts the blend in blender.

Flamefeeder

• Damage versus Burning is easy since our Firebolt enchantment activates this against every enemy we hit.

Exploit

• Gives us Vulnerable Damage and more damage when we hit Vulnerable enemies. Overall great glyph.

Adept

• Gives our main skill more damage and makes the balls slighty larger which can allow us to hit enemies farther away from us.

Territorial

• More damage versus nearby enemies plus some defenses

Destruction

• This glyph now works with all skills and is a big bunch of crit damage!

Elementalist

• This glyph gives us more damage when we hit with different elemental damage types. Ball Lightning will automatically activate both Lightning and Fire while our Ice Blades will take care of cold

1. The Starter board is a decent place to hold onto the Flamefeeder Glyph.
2. Our first added board is oddly Enough Burning Instincts because we gain a lot of benefit versus burning foes thanks to using Fire Bolt as one of our two enchantments. Taking this board first will allow us to take advantage of 5 out of 6 of the rare nodes on this board and is a great place for our Destruction Glyph.
3. The second board is Enchantment Master. We pickup this board early to ensure that you are hitting all the Rare Node bonuses for Non-physical damage. We stack this in order to take advantage of the Legendary Node Frigid Fate later in the board. Put the Elementalist Glyph here to amplify the damage and resists you get from this board.
4. The third board is Static Surge which is home to our best Intelligence Glyph socket at a staggering 75 Intelligence. Place your Adept Glyph here. We also take the Legendary Node here for easy Vulnerable and Mana return.
5. The fourth board we add is Frigid Fate, which we take because we can take advantage of the Legendary node and the board grants us Vulnerable Damage. You can put the Exploit Glyph here.
6. Lastly we take the Ceaseless Conduit board just for the Glyph socket which will be the home of the Territorial Glyph.

We get a lot of good stuff from Vampire Powers this season. 1 - Infection this provides poison damage for Tal Rasha's ring 2 - Prey on the Weak allows us to have Vulnerability up on every enemy affected by our Vampire Curses which is easy to apply thanks to the next power 3 - Metamorphosis which gives us on demand Unstoppable and applies Vampire Curse to enemies we Evade through. Tibaults Will also makes this power give us constant Mana on Evade and increased damage! 4 - Ravenous gives us a TON of attack speed 5 - Undying provides solid HP recovery thanks to spamming skills

Ball lightning is extremely strong right now and can be played even before getting Gravitational Aspect; however, that aspect is how the balls will rotate around you.

The best way to get Gravitational Aspect is to gamble for off-hands until you acquire it.

Also note that mana-returning aspects like Prodigy's and Recharging Aspect can help you with early build mana woes and are both found on the codex.

You can combine The Oculus wand with a pair of boots that have -evade cooldown when you attack to create a super speed farming setup. The wand provides -evade cooldown and +evade charges but has the downside of turning your evade into a random teleport HOWEVER the teleport power Metamorphosis overrides the random teleport so you avoid the downside completely.

Once you have this setup you can cast Ball Lightning to quickly recover your evade and zoom through nightmare dungeons and helltide.

Flickerstep are a good pair of unique boots that can also give you -cooldown on your ultimate and are a nice addition to the build.

Resists are somewhat important when doing higher level content. I recommend using Gems in your Accessories to help. Note that Uber Duriel is rather punishing if your poison resist is not capped.

This new ring provides an insane amount of damage (x60%+). We activate Lightning + Fire elements from Ball Lightning and Firebolt Enchant and then Cold comes from Ice Blades. Then the vampire power Infection can give us poison as well! It's not clear if Physical damage will count from Metamorphosis but I will update the guide once we know.
