Diablo 4 Sorcerer BuildSorc Leveling - Arc Lash/Chain Lightning

Season 6

Leveling

Build Summary

Chain Lightning is one of Sorcerer's strongest leveling builds. This is due to having solid damage early and the chaining nature of the skill! Chain Lightning has access to one of the best mana regen aspects in the game, Recharging, which grants mana every time Chain lightning bounces. The codex version is a bit low (acquired from Zenith in Fractured Peaks), so we opt to also use elemental acuity to help the regen!

You start off using Arc Lash and Chain Lightning because you cannot sustain the mana initially, then swap to just Chain Lightning once you get rolling! Best of Luck!

Training Wheels

Recharging and Elemental Acuity are really the only aspects that matter • The rest is fluff, but a nice note to accursed touch providing vulnerable early • I usually level with staffs so I have to replace only 1 item each time, you don't have to imprint an aspect there it's whatever • You can run rapid over conceited for faster basics

Mana Regen • You will likely need to alternate Chain Lightning and Arc Lash for a while. Once you are able to perma cast CL please see the other variant

Build Notes

Gameplay Loop

How to play the build Chain Lightning is very simple to play. You just cast chain lightning and kill enemies. At first you will need to alternate casts with Arc Lash as a mana regeneration source

Cycling Cooldowns You cycle your cooldowns as needed and to try to keep a barrier up via the protection passive which grants a 3 second barrier when you use a cooldown. This helps prevent you from dying as the barrier takes damage before your life does!
