********************************************

The beta window for Diablo 4 gives players a limited time to experiment with classes before the game debuts. The community has been informed that none of this progress will be counted at all, so gamers should use this time to find a class and build that suits them.

The sorcerer, returning to the game after taking a backseat to the wizard in Diablo 2, is sure to make the community more excited about the potential of Diablo 4. Its abilities will undoubtedly be stronger once the full game is released but this build will give players fun, speed, and more damage than they can handle during the beta period.

Best Sorcerer Build For The Beta

Diablo 4 Casting An Arc Lash
  • Arc Lash: 5
  • Enhanced Arc Lash: 1
  • Glinting Arc Lash: 1
  • Chain Lightning: 5
  • Enhanced Chain Lightning: 1
  • Greater Chain Lightning: 1
  • Teleport: 1
  • Glass Cannon: 3
  • Precision Magic: 3
  • Unstable Currents: 1
  • Prime Unstable Currents: 1
  • Mystic Unstable Currents: 1

The maximum level for the game will be higher but the beta has the level for each class capped at 25, giving players 24 ability points to play with (since there is no ability point rewarded for being level 1). That's more than enough points to make the sorcerer completely dominant.

At the moment, Chain Lightning and Arc Lash deal much more damage than the spells above them despite being low on the tree. Each deal 27 damage per hit at the first level while Ball Lightning and Lightning Spear deal less than half of that.

The real kicker here is the sorcerer's ultimate. Unstable Currents selects a random spell to cast between core, conjuration, and mastery spells. Since this build does not have conjuration or mastery spells, every attack with be with Chain Lightning, the spell with the highest damage total.

Consider changing builts or even switching up classes during this time. The time to experiment is now so gamers can go in knowing which build to execute when the full game finally releases.

Diablo 4 will be available on June 6th, 2023 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
