Diablo 4 Sorcerer BuildFrozen Orb - Jon Snow

• Blast the campaign in Normal or Hard on one of the following build guides. You should get near L60 • I recommend any fire build (hydra familiar is new) • Strongholds can be done to level up faster, ideally between Level 30-45 • You can really level in any activity, albeit Nightmare dungeons with events, the Pit, and Infernal Hordes are the best sources of XP • Infernal hordes in particular have extreme density and are amazing for leveling up and getting paragon points past L60 • You can transfer to the starter guide once you get winterglass

Frozen orb - is our main damage dealer. When combined with the winterglass amulet, our frozen orb casts will make conjurations to scale damage. With the frozen orbit aspect, each pop will help reduce our conjuration cooldowns as well

Lightning Spear - Helps you apply crowd control, get more conjuration mastery stacks, and applies vulnerable • Helps stack the enlightenment • The goal is to get 12 spears out at once, so we can utilize the splintering aspect to aid in killing trash mobs and elites faster

Ice Blades - Taken to allow you to get 6 total ice blades, in conjunction with the 3 made from the enchantment. These really help your cooldowns

Ice Armor - Large barrier that allows you to benefit from the Storm Swell aspect

Teleport - For movement and damage reduction. Helps stack enlightenment

Flame Shield - Get out of jail free card and helps stack enlightenment

Starter - Must take Tactician Glyph - 10% damage after using a defensive skill and boosts rare nodes by 275%

Enchantment Master - You can take this board or Burning Instinct. Burning instinct has more crit damage and defensive nodes, but Enchantment master has attack speed and a lot of non-physical damage to benefit the enlightenment passive. The legendary node also helps us get more frozen orbs out. If we want to speed farm we can use teleport enchant over firebolt enchant and use attacks reduce evade boots with raiment now if we chose to. Elementalist Glpyh - 15% damage and boosts rare nodes by 275%

Fundamental Release - 30% damage to everything legendary node, and just insane damage reduction rare nodes Control Glyph - Provides a large damage boost to Frozen targets • Alternate Glyph - Flamefeeder for more consistent damage. If you are struggling with Tormented bosses, drop control for flamefeeder

Frigid Fate - 60% damage to vulnerable legendary node, and solid rare nodes everywhere with vulnerable damage, DR, and lucky hit Unleash Glpyh - Helps aid our mana regen early and provides us with respectable damage. Amazing on 4th and 5th boards where rare node reqs get harder to hit, boosts magic nodes which includes magic dex and willpower nodes

Icefall - 1.5x damage legendary node for frost skills. Has some vulnerable and cold damage, and has lucky hit and non-physical Destruction goes on here for a large amount of crit strike damage. This board can get 64 dex which isn't shabby

Cast Non channeled core (25 Offering) and Warcry (600 Offering) for 15% damage with high uptime

Cast a cooldown (50 offering) and Dark shroud (Mot) used for 40% DR

Alternative Setup great for PIT • TamWat - cast core and decrepify (execute at 10% and below hp and 20% DR) • VexOhm - Envoke other class power (decrepify above) and warcry for 15% damage

Starter • We run Varyana to help bolster our movement speed and attack speed early when we are missing good gear • We run Raheir to give us 90% DR and unstoppable when we become injured. This can occur every 30 seconds.

Endgame + Mythic 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

Frozen Orb Breakpoints & Attack Speed Buckets - tested by Avarilyn [Attack Speed Buckets](<

• Without Unstable Currents the breakpoints are at • Staff - 96.5% • Sword - 94.55% • Wand/Dagger - 94.58%

• With Unstable Currents (lets you go over 100%) the breakpoints to aim for are • Staff - 105% or 114% or 122.5% • Sword - 102.3% or 112.3% 122.73% • Wand/Dagger - 104.2% or 113.5%

Splintering is bugged in a bad way, but it is still strong The splintering aspect scales it's damage by 1% per 1% Critical Strike Damage. However it is bugged and not scaling correctly. • It is supposed to scale by the inflated Critical Strike Damage Bonus you first see in the tooltip, this could be as large as 2,500% • This would scale a 500 value splintering aspect to 13,000 per proc • This inflated value is your additive + 50% then multiplied by 1.5 and then by 1.142 to account for the inherent 1.5x bonus damage all crits get, and the destruction glyphs 14.2% bonus

• However, it is scaling by the additive amount that is shown when you hover the tooltip and it says you have XX% of this stat from items and paragon. In our 2500% example, this value would be around 1400% additive. This would scale a 500 value splintering aspect to 7,500 • As a result splintering is dealing around 42% less damage than it should be

Splintering has an internal cooldown of 0.2 seconds • For performance issues, and internal cooldown, or ICD, was added to splintering. If you proc splintering, it will not proc again for 0.2 seconds, and all procs that would have occurred during those 0.2 seconds add to the damage of the next proc • As a result, you will see very massive spikes of damage in extreme density when you have a lot of spears out • This can lead you to confusions about how much damage the aspect is contributing to the build • This internal cooldown also leads to issues in High tier pits dealing with Aura Champions in High density, as you cannot control the procs and they are not guaranteed to go off on the Aura champion

• This is why the build is a hybrid, and why I don't run splintering on a staff

How to Masterwork • Best case - Triple MW on Conjuration Mastery • Second best - 2 MW on Conjuration Mastery + 1 MW on Projectile chance

Conjuration caps • 12 Lightning Spears • 6 Familiars • 2 Hydras • 3 Ice Blades from hard casting off skill bar • 3 Ice Blades from Winterglass (Shares a cap with ice blade enchantment)

Chance for Frozen Orb Projectiles to Cast Twice • Hard cast can cast up to 4 frozen orbs, 2 from casts, and then each cast can proc Frozen Orb Enchantment for 4 total • Using a Cooldown can create Two Frozen Orbs from the Enchantment - Double cast tempers seem to affect these • Frozen Orb's created by the Amulet Unique Effect can create two at a time - Double cast tempers seem to affect these

Varshaan • Tal Rasha Ring • Esu's Heirloom Boots

Lord Zir • Winterglass Amulet
