The Sorcerer class in Diablo 4 has received significant enhancements to its Shock skills in Season 10. If you're eager to dominate this season, the Crackling Energy and Chain Lightning build is an outstanding choice for rapid leveling.
This build shines with the introduction of the Overflowing Energy capstone skill, dramatically enhancing your gameplay. Early on, the build may feel sluggish, but as you unlock the right gear and abilities, your power will explode, allowing you to handle even the toughest tiers of content.
When utilizing this build, remember that Lightning skills depend heavily on Lucky Hit and Critical Strike Chance. Initially, you may lack these stats, making your build feel a bit weak.
Skill | Notes |
Glinting Spark (1/5) | Weave this in between Chain Lightning casts to regenerate Mana and increase your crit chance. |
Destructive Chain Lightning (5/5) | Your main damage skill. With enough legendary Aspects, this skill will maintain your Mana on its own while dealing tons of damage along with your other DPS skills. |
Mystical Teleport (1/5) | Mobility skill for faster mapping and emergency evades. The Mystical Upgrade will help you get and maintain Crackling Energy stacks. |
Shimmering Ice Armor (1/5) | Provides Barrier and Mana regeneration. Excellent survivability skill overall. |
Invoked Lightning Spear (5/5) | Your secondary DPS skill that's also capable of generating plenty of Crackling Energy with the right passives/Aspects. |
Supreme Unstable Currents (5/5) | Fills the screen with Shock skills when active. Use this whenever there's a boss or a large Elite pack. |
Maximize your passive skills for optimal performance.
Among these, Overflowing Energy offers a significant boost, increasing Lightning Damage substantially and unlocking additional hits for your Crackling Energy.
