r/D4Sorceress

I am running a sorc for the first time this season and got the mythic ring drop for the firewall build early so I decided to go for it. It’s been a hellacious grind since it seems to require a lot of important pieces especially the full threefold charm set. I’m just worried if it will all be worth it as far as how effective the build is. It seems a bit complicated to run properly too so I’m worried about even using it correctly. Thoughts/advice?

Thanks

Basically, the title. I'm looking for advice regarding a sorc build that's good for meph.

Edit: Except for the firewall build, because it has a horrible gameplay loop (shoot me).

I’ve been creating a frost build, and have therefore of course picked paragon boards and glyphs that boost cold and frost damage and damage vs crowd controlled targets.

I’ve just been reviewing my character stats after getting my glyphs to 65, and I am utterly confused.

Apparently my damage with frost is 200%, while my damage with fire is 481.3% and lightning is 713.9% (237% of each of the latter from paragon, apparently). Cold is listed separately as 1933.9%, though that seems a lot considering I only have two royal sapphires, and low cold rolls on 2 items.

Meanwhile it says my damage vs crowd controlled is 185.7% and my damage vs chilled is 152.2%. This is confusing because the tooltip for crowd controlled says it includes chilled, so why it’s separate I don’t know, and then the numbers don’t seem right, considering my glyphs are giving +110.2% to chilled enemies, +93% to crowd controlled, x10.2% to crowd controlled, another x10.2% to crowd controlled, and as I’ve been experimenting I currently have a GA giving another +60% to crowd controlled on an item.

Basically, the character stat sheet is pretty meaningless. Like, I knew it wasn’t a reliable indicator, but these numbers don’t even remotely make sense to me…

Rant over

So I dropped the mythic piece for the meteor build and it’s my first time playing sorceress. I’m also just on torment 2 right now

Is the meteor build worth giving a shot right now?
I was playing a firewall build before and firewall seems way faster for now.

It’s fun and all, I’m just not sure how much faster it gets!

Thank you :)

I want to try to make a late game incinerate build but am shit at this.

What would I look for in stats in item, fire damage, dot ? Should I play more with overpower in mind maybe ?

For the spells right now I have a classic incinerate inferno, frost nova, glace and fire shield.

Anyway I know incinerate will never be the strongest build but Would still like to make it work

Yet to masterwork on a GA. Is +4 firewall the actual max or is it higher because I have 25 quality? Also, would you Masterwork GA the Firewall or Int or even more movement speed?

I usually use moba, build guides seem to be kind of all over the place rn.

Don’t really wanna use firewall, prefer fast/high tele cd.

Assuming ce ball lightning but unsure of which guide is actually up to date. If someone could point me in the right direction would appreciate Ty

I’m running Firewall rn because it’s S tier but I’m not really digging it. Thinking about switching with the Hope BL hits S tier. Any advice? Anyone else out there miss BL? Lol

Followed mekuna’s static blizzard but really hitting a wall at T9. So I’m kinda stuck at T8.

Which build should I switch to?

Thank you all

Currently paragon 137 - if you have any idea how to greatly reduce the cooldown of unstable currents ultimate I would greatly appreciate it !

So aspect says:

> While you have an equal number of Frost, Pyromancy, and Shock Skills equipped, you deal [80 - 120%] increased damage.

But I read that if there is no "x" - this becomes additive damage with other increases in the same bucket. And if it has "x" - it is a direct multiplier.

So is it a direct multiplier or not?

Recreated my S13 Frost build, Ice Crack Blades and Frigid Hydra, which I got up to PIT 127 and done all S13 challenges (including T12 Meph and Lilith).

For S14 seems to be bit weaker (dmg) but still strong enough. So far done Pit118, T10 Mephisto and viable to do most of T12 activities with only one Mythic Unique (Esu's Heirloom boots) and Unique Pants IceHeart Brais equipped so far, Paragon 240, Glifs 100+.

I'm mindlessly leveling Blizzard for now. I just can't be doing a high cdr press every button on cooldown build for hours and hours of grinding again.
