Diablo 4 will be out for PC and consoles starting 2nd June, and with all top-tier RPGs, there’s always a new build being made for any of the game’s five classes.

This guide will teach you how to be the best Sorcerer wielding chain lightning to whiplash through multiple enemies at once. This is one of the builds that you can definitely use from the get-go!

OVERVIEW

This is a lightning build which will clear a room full of enemies with ease. You’ll use chain lightning to kill enemies primarily. The lightning will bounce back and forth multiple times dealing 10x increased damage. At level 15, it is important for you to take Chain Lightning as your Enchantment over Fireball. This is solely because Arc Lash and Chain Lightning already excels at clearing a room full of enemies. Which is why taking Fireball for more explosion damage is not that great.

You’ll use Teleport for mobility and Ice Armor mostly for your mana regen. If you notice, we put 1 skill into Fire Bolt so that at level 30, you will use this as your second Enchantment skill. We do this not for the damage but because any direct damage done with your skill will apply a burning effect. This will also allow you to take fire passives which will help you immensely as you will see in the skill tree below.
