Diablo 4 Sorcerer BuildS8 Firewall Speed Leveling
Welcome to Sanctuary for Season 8 my fellow sorcerer travelers. This is one of my BEST speed leveling builds going into S8. Between Firewall and Incinerate, both have some HUGE pros for season launch to get you to level 60 FAST.
Firewall is a great way to start the season. Initially, we use firebolt until you can unlock your ultimate inferno. Then replace firebolt with inferno. I recommend spending your 3rd skill point into glinting firebolt until you can replace it later when you unlock your ultimate. Glintering firebolt helps with single target damage and when you have no mana in the early game (level 1-20). Firewall is the main source of damage and stacking damage over time along with hydras.
In season 8 early legendaries are going to be more scarce. This means use what you can find that adds value to the build. Rare items are going to be more powerful as you progress as they can have the 3rd stat again, so don't forget to keep an eye out for constant upgrades particularly with a 2 handed staff. We use a staff for this build as it has the passive to increase damage over time. We only imprint aspects on our jewellery while leveling as we don't replace them as often and for material costs.
Best aspects and Uniques: Tal Rashas Unique (Best in slot ring)
Aspects: Conceited, Storm Swell, Undying, Firestarter, Disobedience, Juggernauts, Orange Herald, Mind's Awakening, Concussive Strikes, Assimilation, Everliving, Flamewalkers.

Build Notes

- Use Firewall
- Spawn Familiar for increased fire damage
- Use Inferno on elites or mobs for vulnerable damage and no mana cost
- Teleport between mobs and cast a shock familiar for constallation proc
Firewall is a great build only for leveling. The reason it is so good early is fire damage over time means we can solve mana problems early as well as increase our damage with the combustion key passive. There are 2 aspects that really help with damage, engulfing flames and creeping death. However, this build works fine without any of the needed aspects early on. Constellation is a good addition as it does high single target damage and is great for elites and bosses.
The 2 best leveling builds for Season 8 are Firewall and Incinerate. So which is best for you? Firewall is faster for trash clears, you can cast down firewalls and keep moving, meaning you can farm XP faster while moving to your next target. Incinerate has way more damage for single target like bosses and chonky elites. However, you are stuck standing still while ramping up the damage and it does require some positioning. I think Incinerate scales better into torment modes for more DPS as it has 2 more aspects to increase the damage, but for speed leveling play to your preference.
