Diablo 4’s Immortal Sorceress Build Explained
The Sorceress class in Diablo 4 has proven to be one of the most popular and powerful, with the Immortal-type build showcasing why.
Magic users rejoiced after the news that the Sorceress class makes its return in Diablo 4 after being replaced by the Wizard class in Diablo 3. The key differences between the two are the Wizard’s focus on general Arcane magic versus the Sorceress’ more elemental-centered spell casting. This clear delineation between elemental types in magic (fire, lightning, ice) allows players to curate their build based on their play style and how they wish to utilize the Sorceress class. The Immortal Sorceress build in Diablo 4 is a lightning-focused build that will immobilize, render vulnerable, and then vaporize enemies.
Skills to Prioritize for the Immortal Sorceress Build
The primary skills that players will need to spec for the Immortal Sorceress build are Teleport, Ice Armor, Chain Lightning, and Arc Lash. Additionally, players will want to allocate some skill points to both Frost Nova and Glass Cannon for immobilizing enemies and buffing spell damage at the cost of defense, respectively.
The primary goal of the skill mapping for the Immortal Sorceress build is to negate the loss of defense at the cost of spell-casting power by buffing with Ice Armor prior to Teleporting into enemies, rendering Diablo 4’s Sorceress pretty much immortal.
How to Use the Immortal Sorceress Build Against Diablo 4’s Enemies and Bosses
While the general strategy for the Immortal Sorceress build is similar for tackling either enemies or Diablo 4’s powerful bosses, there are some key differences as well as a necessary secondary skill to apply when facing off against one powerful foe versus many. When taking on enemy mobs, players using the Immortal Sorceress build will want to first buff their character with Ice Armor prior to launching into enemies with Teleport. After teleporting into enemies and causing damage upon exit, players will want to activate Frost Nova to immobilize enemies before using Chain Lightning to deal AoE damage to up to 6 foes at once.
Where the strategy for bosses differs is in the need to change up the primary offensive skill as well as applying an offensive buff to allow for the Sorceress to deal more DPS. Instead of Chain Lightning, players will want to use Arc Lash when facing against one enemy to avoid receiving damage from outgoing attacks while also applying the Unstable Currents buff to double the amount of spells cast. With proper leveling of skills and focusing on elemental types with synergy, the Immortal Sorceress build is ideal for solo or co-op in Diablo 4 and showcases the versatility of the Sorceress class.
Diablo 4 will be available June 6 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
