Level Build of the Sorceress in Diablo 4 with Chain Lightning

The Sorceress in Diablo 4 offers a variety of skills that you can skillfully combine to cast effective, destructive spells on your enemies. In this level build, we focus on Chain Lightning, which turns your wizard into a ranged fighter.

These are the Talents your Sorceress Needs from Level 1 to 15.

To create the optimal build, you should learn the following skills in the right order 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.

This is how you play the Sorceress up to level 50: Basically, you use your chain lightning as often as possible. This is your highest damage output in groups as well as for single targets. Frost Bolt and Frost Nova are used to generating mana and to keep your opponents at least somewhat at a distance or to weaken them. Teleport is used when you need to get away quickly and Lightning Spear is always kept on cooldown.

This is how you attack:

1. Use Frost Nova on your enemies to make them vulnerable thanks to Mystical Frost Nova.
2. Cast Lightning Spear, Ice Armor and Teleport while standing close to enemies to stun them with Arc Lash Enhancement.
3. Then use your Chain Lightning as long as you have over 50 mana to use the effect of Elemental Dominance for optimal DPS.

If you want to recharge your mana, do the following:

1. Teleport into an enemy group.
2. Use Frost Nova to freeze your enemies and make them vulnerable.
3. Use Frost Bolt to generate mana.

Choose Those Enhancement Slots as a Sorceress in Diablo 4

Each class has its own special feature. In the case of the Sorceress, it is the enhancements with which you can upgrade spells. To play this build optimally, select the following enhancements from level 15:

• At the beginning, choose the fireball to make it easier to eliminate larger groups.
• At level 30 you unlock the 2nd slot and select the chain lightning. Also change the Fireball to Arc Lash.

This aspect gives you mana when your chain lightning jumps from one enemy to the next.
