The opening statementThe Chain Lightning Sorcerer build lets loose a volley of lightning that ricochets to each foe, electrifying them in a spectacular display of the power of the sorcery. This is your leveling guide for the D4 gold shop (please see) Beta, including a breakdown of how to allocate your skill points up to the level cap of 25. The Chain Lightning Sorcerer is more than capable of speeding through all of the content that can be found in Fractured Peaks. Let's talk about the mechanics of building, the progression of characters, and different play styles! Chain Lightning has been given a useful overhaul in Diablo IV, and as a result, it can now reflect off of the Sorcerer themselves. As a result, it is able to kill even the most difficult bosses and elites in a short amount of time by jumping between a single foe and the Sorcerer multiple times. Chain Lightning gives priority to enemies with each jump when used against a group of monsters so that it can deal the most damage possible. This build is excellent at eliminating high densities of enemies as well as taking on bosses as a single target. With the help of the Chain Lightning Sorcerer, you can jolt your opponents with electrifying power.

There is no such thing as a fully-fledged Sorcerer without the ability to teleport. Last but not least, Unstable Currents is a lightning ultimate that, when used appropriately, has a chance to double cast Chain Lightning for increased burst damage. Use the Damage Rotation shown below to engage in battles at a distance, and then switch over to the Mana Generator Rotation to heal up and finish off enemies who are already injured.3.1. Damage Rotation (This section is optional)After activating the Unstable Currents Ultimate, follow it up with a cast of Lightning Spear to deal with tough elites and bosses. Chain Lightning should be spammed until you need to generate mana again.3.2. Teleport into the middle of the enemies using the Mana Generator Rotation (Optional) ability to close the gap.
