Build Summary

Before you play this build, you will need to get Flickersteps for the starter, and get your Grow Witch power to rank 11 to unlock 100% crit chance for your Summons (Lightning Spear)

Lightning Spear is the best ALL AROUND build sorcerer has. There are builds that clear pit better than it, mainly shatter setups. However there is nothing that can speedfarm like Lightning spear. It benefits from using Harlequin more than other builds because of the Lightning Spear ranks, and it is very fast. To top it off your spears will just kill everything in sight and off screen.

The overpower version adds 20-25 tiers. It's nutty.

Enchantments

Teleport Enchant for Movement and Raiment clumping

Lightning Spear Enchant because it was found you can't make enough spears with Unstable Currents alone, you need to make more by picking up crackling energy created by ball lightning

Build Notes

Gameplay Loop

Rakanoth Variants • Literally spam all your skills • Engage with flame shield to get a Tal Rasha stack, then save it for when you need it

Flickerstep Variants • Spam all your skills and just go fast • Evade through enemies to reset your ultimate

Crackling Energy for Mana Regen + Lightning Spear Enchant • Will need to do a bit of wiggling and fidgeting when bossing to keep spears up

Overpower Variants • Cast ball lightnings upon entering pit to pickup crackling for roaring lightning spear • Drink 4 potions to proc Xan Overpower rune • Cast Lightning Spear and see orange numbers (wait 2 seconds then start going about your business) • If you have god gear you don't need to cast ball lightning you can just evade

How It Works

Lightning Spear is in style again. Crazy. The build is stronger than ever thanks to some insane witch powers, most notably Grow which gives all your summons 100% crit chance for 10 seconds after using an ultimate. Once fully leveled, Grow will grant you 61% damage with lightning spear and splintering when combined with the Toadling's Wish Witch gem.

This build is as fast as it gets and incredibly strong... for a Sorc. Once you get some ranks in Primordial Binding, your mana regen solves itself and the gameplay is pretty seamless. Albeit a touch spammy, but what's new?

Definitely my go-to this season for as long as I keep playing.
