Diablo 4 Sorcerer BuildLightning Spear - Mekuna's Shockuna
Mekuna Shockuna is this Season's [TOP META] Lightning Spear build. This build is highly versatile and works incredibly well across all types of content (Helltides, Speedfarming, Hordes, etc.).
- If you don't have the Uber Uniques yet, I recommend using the starter version of the build: Found Here
- If you're aiming for maximum Pit pushing, go with the Heir of Perdition (Pit & Bosses) variant.
This build relies on the new aspect Splintering Energy: Critical Hits with Lightning Spear cause Lightning to arc from it, dealing 25%-55% damage to its target and up to 5 other enemies. This damage is increased by your Critical Strike Damage Bonus.
This is the fastest and best build overall for this season. It's very good in any content but the pit. You have the version with Heir of Perdition if you want to push the Pit (103+) with this build.
Masterworking (MW) enhances an item's stats. Each MW rank boosts all affixes by 5%, but Ranks 4, 8, and 12 give a 25% bonus to one random affix.
- 1 MW: Rank 4 (blue); one affix gets a 25% bonus.
- 2 MW: Rank 8 (yellow); two affixes get a 25% bonus.
- 3 MW: Rank 12 (orange); three affixes get a 25% bonus.
Use the Masterworking menu at Blacksmiths with materials from The Pit. MW ranks can be reset if needed. You don't have to triple Masterwork everything, but it's optimal if you can. Aim for at least 2 of the suggested MWs. Other stats are usually fine.

Build Notes
- Activate Unstable Currents.
- Spam Ball Lightning, Lightning Spear, and Ice Blades. We're essentially using our Lightning Ball to keep as many Lighting Spears active as possible through Unstable Currents.
- Keep your Ice Armour up as much as possible, as it's a solid defence against unavoidable damage.
- Flame Shield should be used at least once you activate the bonuses we gain through using a Fire Skill; once active, the buff shouldn't drop unless we stop damaging. Other than that, use it defensively to avoid death.
The build has a heavy focus on buffing our Lightning Spears through the use of the aspect Splintering Energy, using two new uniques Heir of Perdition and Shroud of False God to buff our damage further. Ball Lightning here is essentially a generator for our Unstable Currents to get out as many Lightning Spears as possible, which has a cap of 12.
We're also using Ice Blades because they can reduce our cooldowns and have a high chance of applying vulnerability, which is increased further through the use of the Aspect of Sredding Blades.
Be sure to read the buff given by Tal'Rasha and maintain its damage buff.
- Optimised stats for Top Meta setup: 65% Attack Speed, you get +15% from potion and +20 from enlightment = 100% 100% Critical Strike Chance or as close as possible
