Diablo 4 Sorcerer BuildFireball - Red Wedding

• Get into a group of 4 and literally just blast the season event and helltides • Once you get access to Nightmare Dungeons and Infernal Hordes those are really good for XP • Pits are the best source of XP once you are able to do them and you can start leveling your glyphs

Starter • Starting off i really just take things that let me apply vulnerable easily, boost my main stat, and increase my attack speed

Powers • (Eldritch) Doom Orb - This is taken mainly because our build is fire damage, and it will apply vulnerable to things far away it hits with shaken soul

• (Growth) Aura of Siphoning - Constant Aura around you that damages slightly and heals you • (Lost) Aura Specialization - Makes your Aura bigger and you deal 50%[x] Crit Dmg to those in the Aura • (Eldritch) Shaken Soul - Anything within our Aura's or hit by a witchcraft power become vulnerable • (Growth) Soul Harvest - increases our main stat when we use a cooldown near an enemy • (Eldritch) Purging Touch - Eldritch effects deal 40% more damage - this is related to a Witching Hour Gem below and will grant a core skill a 40% damage boost every second

Gems • Witching Hour - When you have 3 or more eldritch powers slotted, every second your next core skill gets the Eldritch Tag. When combined with purging touch, this cast will deal 40% more damage • Wicked Pact - buffs our Eldridge power potency by 25%, so it buffs our purging touch/witching hour combo. Assuming damage goes from 40% x 1.25 = 50% • Moonlight Ward for 15% Damage reduction and 2.5% Maximum Resistance to all Elements

Summary We walk around with a big aura, everything in that aura heals us, and takes 50% more crit damage. Every 1 second our next cast of a core skill deals 40% x 1.25 = 50% more damage

Boards • Starter • Frigid Fate - 1.6x damage • Fundamental Release - 1.5x damage • Searing Heat - 1.6x damage and 12% crit chance • Icefall - 1.5x damage to frozen enemies and Bosses

Glyphs • Tactician - Bonus damage after using a defensive skill • Elementalist - Bonus damage after hitting enemies with different elements • Pyromaniac- Bonus fire damage after casting fire skills • Exploit - bonus damage to vulnerable enemies • Destruction - Large amount of critical strike damage

On march 4th Esu's Ferocity was buffed to 75% critical strike damage and 40% crit chance. In the past Enlightenment was better, but now the consistency of Esu's Ferocity is king. It is extremely good now

Starting off we use Thul for frost novas and Mot to increase our damage reduction by a whopping 40% (free tyrael's might)

In the endgame we can just use Thul and Ohm for frost novas and war cry.

Both grant 15% damage. Frost novas debuff enemies by 15%, and war cry buffs us by 15%

Hired • After playing with Subo I cannot play without him. He provides you with a maphack of all enemy locations and resources on the map • Subo provides us with 20% movement speed and small windows of 25% more critical strike damage when you see his cover fires arrows land on enemies

Reinforcement • I opt for Raheir and his bastion ability, synced to go off when I am injured. It provides 90% damage reduction for 5 seconds and unstoppable for 1 second. This dude can help you get out of a pickle, and because it's set to only go off when we are injured, it shouldn't go on cooldown when we don't need it

Perdition. 60% damage doesn't grow on trees

Then Starless Skies - attack speed out the wazoo

Then Shroud of False Death - damage and max life

The best way to get Boss Mats is as follows • Run Undercity BOSS MAT Tributes in a group rotating who puts in the tribute • Run Bosses in Rotations (this build will slay bosses once you are strong) • Bosses often drop Boss Mat Tributes • Repeat • Or simply farm the seasonal area

Uber Uniques - Any Boss, but Duriel/Andariel have best drop rate • Perdition Helmet • Shroud of False death • Starless Skies Ring

Duriel/Andariel • Godslayer helmet • Tibault pants or Flickerstep boots if you want to use those

Beast in the Ice • Illuminator Gloves

Varshaan • Staff of Endless Rage • Tal Rasha Ring

Infernal Hordes • Rakanoth's Wake Boots

Pots - advantage attack speed 15%

Incense Sages Whisper for 100 max life Redamine Buzz for max life All res one

1/19/25 - build created for Season 7

1/22/24 - tweaks to starter version to make it tankier/smoother to play • adjusted starter powers because you literally cannot get Witch Gems without giga grinding and I can't get an aura spec to save my life

1/28/25 - setup witch powers to be the same across all setups. gems are hard to farm you just cant be all willy nilly

1/30/25 - shatter setup created. Initial boots changed to Flickersteps

1/31/25 - updated Shatter variant to use shroud over raiment, ice blade enchant over fireball, adjusted skill tree, dropped flickers for orange herald boots, took concussive strikes on pants over snowveiled, adjusted runes based on Current Top Clear • Wicked pact gem dropped for hungering void for pulls, soul harvest dropped for an aura to proc it. soul harvest bugged anyway and just snapshots the first proc of it so you'd have to group up a bunch of enemies first to get any value

3/3/25 - Shatter Variant deleted

Build and written guide updated to reflect esu's ferocity key passive on all variants. Esus ferocity was buffed from 50% crit damage to 75%, and from 10% crit chance to 40% Some adjustments to runes to reflect said changes (dropped gar off some variants). In case you are curious, enlightenment was 80% damage ish when stacked up, which it did not have permanent uptime on.
