Diablo 4 Sorcerer BuildIce Shards - John Wayne

• Get into a group of 4 and literally just blast the season event and helltides • Once you get access to Nightmare Dungeons and Infernal Hordes those are really good for XP • Pits are the best source of XP once you are able to do them and you can start leveling your glyphs

Powers • (Eldritch) Doom Orb - This is taken mainly to satisfy a requirement for needing 3 eldritch powers for Witching Hour

• (Growth) Aura of Siphoning - Constant Aura around you that damages slightly and heals you • (Lost) Aura Specialization - Makes your Aura bigger and you deal 35%[x] Crit Dmg to those in the Aura • (Growth) Soul Harvest - Whenever you use a cooldown near enemies, you gain 3% main stat per enemy nearby • (Eldritch) Shaken Soul - Applies vulnerable to anything hit by a witch power • (Eldritch) Purging Touch - Eldritch effects deal 40% more damage - this is related to a Witching Hour Gem below

Gems • Witching Hour - When you have 3 or more eldritch powers slotted, every second your next core skill gets the Eldritch Tag. When combined with purging touch, this cast will deal 40% more damage • Wicked Pact - Increases the potency of our eldridge effects to either get more damage out of Purging Touch/Witching hour or have it go off more than once a second • Voice of the stars - more ultimate damage and our ultimate gains all the witch tags. Deep freeze should get the purging touch effect and gain 40% damage

Boards Starter Frigid Fate - 1.6x Fundamental Release - 1.5x Icefall - 1.5x Searing Heat - 1.6x

Glyphs Tactician - damage after using a defensive skill Elementalist - More damage for just hitting enemies with different elements Unleash - boosts magic nodes and provides more damage and mana regen Exploit - More damage to vulnerable enemies and scales Deep Freeze Destruction - More crit damage

Hired • After playing with Subo I cannot play without him. He provides you with a maphack of all enemy locations and resources on the map • Subo provides us with 20% movement speed and small windows of 25% more critical strike damage when you see his cover fires arrows land on enemies

Reinforcement • I opt for Raheir and his bastion ability, synced to go off when I am injured. It provides 90% damage reduction for 5 seconds and unstoppable for 1 second. This dude can help you get out of a pickle, and because it's set to only go off when we are injured, it shouldn't go on cooldown when we don't need it

9/22/24 - Build created for S6 11/18/24 - Vulnerable damage avalanche version created for mid season patch - But hold off, we need to see if Avalanche actually scales by vulnerable damage bonus 1/28/25 - removed familiar for teleport on skill bar. Familiars suck to cast (delay if other skills pressed recently) • Added a speedfarm setup, messed with some utility tempers (what's new) 1/29/25 - updated entire guide to use Enlightenment Key passive, as Deep Freeze does not benefit from Avalanche and it's a lot of the builds damage. Frozen memories dropped for Vehement brawler to get more deep freeze ranks. Eliminator dropped for unleash as we can proc it with avalanche gone.
