Endgame Arc Lash Build of the Sorceress in Diablo 4

The Sorceress in Diablo 4 offers a variety of skills that you can skillfully combine with each other to cast effective, destructive spells on your enemies. In the end-game build, we focus on the basic skill Arc Lash, which triggers a variety of electric abilities with the right skills and aspects.

These are the Talents your 50+ Sorceress Needs

To create the optimal build, you should learn the following skills and activate them in your skill tree. Up to level 50 and thanks to the Renown system, you can distribute a total of 58 points.

How to Play the Sorceress from level 50 Onwards

How to use your skills: The Arc Lash Mage is a very simple build. You mainly spam your Arc Lash, which triggers your Unstable Current, which in turn triggers more electro attacks for free. Therefore, you need to put at least one point into the other electro abilities as well.

Damage rotation: To do the most damage possible, use your skills as follows:

1. For large groups, elites or boss opponents, start the fight by activating Unstable Current.
2. Use your Frost Nova to freeze your opponents and make them vulnerable.
3. Spam Arc Lash.
4. Use Ice Armor, Teleport and Flame Shield to stay alive.

This is what the build is based on: The important thing with this build is that you use Glinting Arc Lash and Overflowing Energy to reduce the cooldown of your electric abilities, especially that of Unstable Current. The legendary aspect "Stable Aspect" also gives you a chance to activate Unstable Current for free.
