Diablo 4 Sorcerer BuildBlizzard - Hailstorm

Blizzard can be tough to level with because it can be heavily reliant on Tibault's Will for Mana Regen. • Prodigy and Umbral Aspect Rings will ease mana concerns early • Blue Rose is great over X'Fal if you are having mana problems • DO NOT RUN BLIZZARD if you don't have a Glacial Aspect • If the build has a staff, resource cost reduction is the most important affix normally

Legendary Nodes

• Frigid Fate - 1.3[x] to Vulnerable • Icefall - 1.15[x] Frost Dmg to Vulnerable, 1.3[x] if also Frozen

Note

• Since we don't have Enchanter, we are sitting at 200% Cold Damage, we need 300% for Frigid Fate • Use cold damage tempers to get to 300%, then take Ice Spike Dmg on every other temper possible

Blizzard always runs two unique rings and uses Tibault's Will as the Mana Generator

• Tal Rasha and Starless Skies are BIS and no other combination comes close to it

1) Tal Rasha Ring

• 1.45[x] Damage, 1.6[x] if running Lucky hit Poison/Shadow

2) Starless Skies Uber Unique

• 1.4[x] Damage and Mana Cost Reduction

Until you get Starless Skies, you have 2 options as what to pair with Tal Rasha

A) Blue Rose

• Recommended if you are having Mana Problems

B) X'Fal's Corroded Signet

• Higher Damage potential than Blue Rose

1) First Choices: Icy Touch or Devouring Blaze 2) Second Choices: Hoarfrost or Permafrost

Icy Touch has good uptime with the amount of vulnerable on the build. These amulets are also cheaper to buy through trade. Everyone wants devouring blaze

Devouring Blaze has the highest damage potential

Hoarfrost is the top option for killing mobs. But it is useless against bosses until the stagger phase

Permafrost is strong against Elites and Bosses, but offers no benefit for regular non-elite mobs

All are FINE. Find a good amulet with one of these and you will be OK

Sorc Armor Calc - Make a copy

With 100 armor from paragon, and 3 skulls in Jewelery Sorc has 6600 Base Armor

To get to 9230 you need one of the following

• 1 Greater Armor Affix and 1 MW Hit • 1 Armor Affix and 1 Armor Temper • 2 High rolled Armor % Tempers • 40% Disobedience

Blizzard spawns a set amount of ice spikes per second, in random locations over it's area. When you increase the area, there is less chance the spikes radius overlap targets and you actively hurt your pinpoint Boss DPS. Although it may look awesome and clear trash mobs faster, in Endgame hard content and bossing you will be hurting your damage.

A good analogy is to compare the ice spikes to a shotgun pellet spread. A tight spread is best for beefy targets such as bosses or elite packs. A wide spread is best for trash mobs. So we opt to take the tight spread to have an advantage where it actually matters.

We are able to get 100% attack speed and vast amounts of resource cost reduction. Simply cast Blizzard more.

Drop Intelligence off of your gloves and take Lucky Hit chance to make Vulnerable
