Destructive Charged Bolts also reduces the damage that enemies deal, which is excellent fo the squishy Sorcerer. That’s more reliable than Chain Lightning’s random bounces and means you end up dealing more damage. Charged Bolts’ description might say it has a “random pattern,” but it basically affects any enemy in the area that you cast it in.

We opted for Charged Bolts over Chain Lightning for a few reasons. Core Skill – Charged Bolts (Enhanced, Destructive Charged Bolts) The Enhanced version gives you an extra lash when you land a critical hit, and Glinting will reduce your cooldowns when you stun a foe. You should invest five skill points in this one. Basic Skill – Arc Lash (Enhanced, Glinting Arc Lash)Īrc Lash is an excellent skill with high critical chances and a quick animation that means you can fire off more attacks in quick succession. This way, you can stay safe even without relying on friends in multiplayer. They may be powerful, but they have no other buffer to help reduce damage taken, unlike the Necromancer and Rogue. While investing in two defensive skills might seem counterintuitive when abilities such as Hydra and Frozen Orb are right there, the Sorcerer needs a bit of additional help to stay safe. Our Sorcerer build includes a healthy mix of offensive and defensive skills, and while lightning is the build’s foundation, we included a few other skills to help defeat enemies with electric resistance. However, our electric build is best suited to help you through leveling and post-Lilith content alike whether you’re playing alone or with friends. Blizzard and flame builds work, albeit unevenly. The best Diablo 4 Sorcerer build for the endgame centers on lightning skills and the crackling energy they help create.
