Build Summary
Ball Lightning Build NEW

Ball Lightning Build

Chain Lightning Build

Build Summary
Chain Lightning Build
	Tier: Focus: AoE DPS, Endgame Dungeons
High single and AoE damage Excellent Mobility Multiple Defensive Skills Mana Hungry

This is a Chain Lightning build that primarily utilizes the effects of the Axial Conduit unique item, paired with the Lightning Rod Aspect, to spam your skills and kill enemies, regardless if the enemies are in large groups or you are facing a single target boss. Note that with this build, you will encounter a ton of mana management issues, making it challenging to play due to the high mana cost of Chain Lightning.

Chain Lightning Build

Fireball Build

Build Summary
Fireball Build UP
	Tier: Focus: AoE DPS, Endgame Dungeons
Fast Mob Clearing Excellent Mobility Mana Hungry Weak against single target

The Fireball Sorcerer primarily utilizes the Fireball Enchantment, which causes enemies to explode over a large area upon being killed. This is paired with the Gloves of the Illuminator, allowing your Fireball to bounce between multiple enemies, making this one of the best mob clearing builds available for the Sorcerer.

However, this build is quite weak against single target enemies, so you will need to equip Tal Rasha's Iridescent Loop to significantly boost your damage, making one on one fights more manageable.

Fireball Build

Sorcerer Leveling Build

Conjuration Build

Build Summary
Conjuration Leveling Build UP
	Focus: Leveling, Farming
Excellent range High single and AoE damage Multiple crowd control effects Lower mobility than other sorcerer builds No access to Unstoppable or Invulnerability

This Conjuration Build revolves around Hydra and the Familiar skill. The massive damage from your conjuration skills allows you to eliminate both enemies and bosses with ease.

Unlike the traditional Sorcerer builds, this setup does not include defensive skills. However, by leveraging your Conjurations, you can keep a safe distance from enemies, using Crowd Control to take them down before they even have a chance to approach.
