Diablo 4 Sorcerer BuildS4 - Frozen Orb - Frost Demon
Frozen Orb is poised to be the premier sorcerer build for season 4, unless the Amulet gets nerfed into the ground. It truly is a sight to see, frozen orbs and conjurations are literally spawning from everywhere. Damage scaling through the roof at 6% dmg per conj, with upwards of 20 conjurations out at a time.
Main Build for NM dungeons, Pit Pushing, and overworld. For Boss farming, see Uber boss setup. Very small changes
Frozen Orb is your main skill Ice blades is there just to proc the Concentration Defensive Aspect Frost Nova is there for instant freeze, boss stagger, and is just amazing with frost nova size tempers. Pick Mystical or Shimmering Ice Armor/Flame Shield are your main defensives. For Ice armor pick Mystical or Shimmering. Teleport for movement and 30% Damage reduction
On every slot except the Staff, Max Life and Intelligence are interchangeable. This is all down to preference. If you solve your mana issues, you can drop Mana per Second off helm for Int/Max Life If you are short of the 16,700 armor for Pit 200, run Disobedience over concussive If frost nova isn't your thing, you can run lightning spear and take freeze duration tempers
Build Notes
Mobbing 1) Ice Armor and/or Frost Nova Engage 2) Cast Frozen Orb a ton 3) Flame Shield and Teleport as needed to proc Tibault's damage and mana regen 4) Ice Blades when off cooldown to keep proccing the Concentration aspect
Bossing 1) Spam cast frozen orb and cycle defensives as needed to keep barrier 2) Keep the 20% Damage from tibaults up by cylcing teleport and flame shield 3) Use Frost Nova to help stagger boss faster 4) Do not prematurely pop your flame shield, it is your life line to being able to face tank when needed 5) Try to nuke the boss once staggered
Frozen Orb got a metric ton of buffs for season 4. Basically it now has better base damage and provides better vulnerability uptime. With the fractured winterglass amulet, this thing becomes a monster. Conjurations everywhere, frozen orbs spawning all the time from the conjurations, everything is frozen and vulnerable,

• Try Frost Nova Enchant over Frozen Orb or Firebolt Enchant, and Slap on Iceheart Brais. Enjoy the visuals. • Frost Nova Enchant is slightly redundant as Frozen Orb Freezes well and applies vuln, but boy does it look SWEET.
