Chain Lightning Sorcerer build in Diablo 4


If you're leveling up or considering leveling up a sorcerer, look no further than this build as it's simply perfect for taking your spell-caster to the endgame in no time. We know that sometimes leveling becomes a little bit... well, boring and tedious. When that happens, you should think of changing a build to find something that makes your gameplay more fun. You will hardly ever encounter such an issue with the chain lightning build, as it's fun right from the very beginning all the way to the highest levels. It focuses on 2 abilities both of which deal lots of AOE damage but there's a twist which adds some randomness to each of your fights so it's gonna be quite exciting! 


What is this build like?



So your 2 primary spells are Arc Lash and Chain Lightning. Most of the time you should start fights with the Lash as it does lots of AOE damage in the given direction. After that spam Chain Lightning as many times as you can. It will send lots of lightnings bouncing around the room and hitting enemies in their way. Obviously, you can't control the direction of that bouncing and lightnings look for victims in a random manner. That still brings lots of pain to packs of mobs but you can never be sure who you target with the Chain.

Your arsenal can't consist of just 2 abilities, of course, and there are a couple of utilities that you should use to have a better control of the situation in the room. Frost Nova freezes enemies around you, Teleport helps you move around faster, and Ice Armor saves you from harm when incoming damage is overwhelming.

Unstable Currents adds more fun to this loadout by giving you a random bonus every time you cast a shock skill. Those random bonus effects include cores, conjurations, and master shocks. The only downside of this skill is its cooldown which is a whopping 70 seconds and you can't do much to reduce it.

All in all, this build is sparkling fun that is both deadly and exciting!
