↖ Core Build Components

• Helm: Disobedience
• Amulet: BALL Lightning with Movement Speed
• Weapons: Fist of Fate, Rayen's Flicker Step Staff
• Armor: Tal Rasha's Elements
• Rings: Ring of the Starless Sky and additional rings with Shrine Duration buffs

 

 

↖ Key Abilities and Aspects

• Ball Lightning: Your primary spell for dealing lots of damage, but only if you have all those sweet buffs stacked up.
• Teleport Aspect: This one's all about keeping mobile and getting in the right position at the right time.
• Flame Shield: It protects you while boosting your offensive abilities at the same time!
• Frost Bolt & Fireball: Use these as area damage spells alongside control spells so that enemies can't come close without getting hurt in some way or another.

 

 

↖ Skill Tree Focus

Put most of your energy in skills that'll make those elemental damage numbers go up. Ones like Elemental Dominance and Elemental Attunement should be focused on.

Of course, while you're at it, make sure you're also boosting the stats for your Ball Lightning spell and mana efficiency.

 

↖ Paragon System

Using glyphs is a great way to tune-up your abilities even more. We recommend Adept, Destruction, Elementalist, Reinforced, Blame Feeder, Exploit and Territorial for starters.

 

↖ Build Strategy & Build Planner

1. Set yourself up with a shrine buff after killing an Elite.

2. Then go engage the boss while making sure you're still using your Avarian Spear to extend its duration.

3. Keep chaining Elites to maintain and stack buffs until there are none left.

4. Mobility is everything here, so use Teleport Enchantment combined with Fireball as much as possible.

5. Flame Shield will give you that much-needed extra protection on top of some nice offensive strength too — use it often.

6. If possible, try and find Conduit or Artillery Shrines, they'll be total game changers when it comes to destruction.

↖ Optimization Tips

If possible, get gear that gives you Shrine Duration enhancements so that you can keep yourself at tip-top power levels as often as possible!

It's important to find a balance when it comes to managing your stats. Having tons of mana for unlimited spells would be nice but not if it means losing out on damage or survivability.

 

Conclusion

The BALL Lightning Sorcerer build is meant to play at lightning speed. But what does that mean? It means I need you tearing through everything in a flash! Keep an open mind about changing things up depending on the fight ahead — and don't forget to always optimize gears and abilities when possible too. Now go show all those other losers how to really play Diablo 4 Season 3!
