Diablo 4 Sorcerer BuildMekuna's Orange Lightning Spear Pit150 - Shockuna
Lightning Spear - Mekuna's Shockuna is probably the best build of the season for the Sorcerer. This build is highly versatile and works incredibly well across all types of content (Helltides, Speedfarming, Hordes, etc.). To be able to play this build you will need 11 rank in "Grow" (Witchcraft Powers)
- 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 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 Pit Pushing version if you want to push the Pit (150) with this build.
- In this version, we use Temerity pants instead of Tibault’s Will, allowing you to drink a potion even when at full life. We replace Nagu and Ohm with Yax and Xan. Before starting an activity, drink 4 potions to activate the Xan rune. Then, cast Lightning Spear first to trigger an Overpower. From that point on, all your Lightning Spears will Overpower, and you’ll see orange numbers everywhere! :)
- You can also drop the legendary boots for Flickerstep if you don't have enough cooldown reduction.
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 Ball Lightning 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 the uniques Harlequin Crest damage further for Pit Pushing. 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.
Potion: Attack Speed (or Life Potion for Orange Pit Pushing) Incenses: Soothing Spices, Reddamine Buzz, Sage's Whisper (Spiral Morning for Pit Pushing)
How to Teleport as fast as possible: Open your enchantment tab (press S on PC) and check your Teleport enchantment cooldown — it should be around 1.9 or 2.0 seconds in combat, thanks to Vex reducing it. To achieve this, you’ll need Greater Affix CDR on Shako and Tal Rasha, along with triple masterwork on both items. Don’t forget to triple masterwork evade cooldown on your boots as well if needed. Evade Cooldown Reduction should be around 57% (Amulet + Boots temper)
Boots Implicit : Attacks Reduce Evade's Cooldown by 1,5 Seconds is mandatory on this build
[Orange Lightning Spear Variant]
- Consume 4 potions to trigger the Xan Overpower Rune (if not using Temerity, you’ll need to take damage from enemies).
- Optional for extra damage: Cast Ball Lightnings to gather Crackling Energy for Roaring Lightning Spear.
- Wait 1 second and cast Lightning Spear and watch for the orange Overpower numbers!
