With Season 3 of Diablo 4 in full swing, many players are focusing on developing powerful endgame builds to tackle the highest Torment levels and Greater Rifts. Today we are going to be covering 2 of the strongest D4 1.3 Sorcerer builds for late game challenges and pushing leaderboard rankings. We show you the skills, aspects, and how to play them. 

1. Diablo 4 Season 3 Blizzard Sorcerer Endgame Build

This can be overall the best build in Season 3 for Sorcerer. This is a nearly perfected Blizzard build which does an unbelievable amount of boss damage, you can nuke anything in the game. You can solo the boss very quickly nearly one phasing it, but regardless the damage, is just ridiculous without even going into a full boss damage setup. You could walk right into a tier 100 with this exact same build and still annihilate things.

How does this build work?

The way that this build works is you're using Blizzard, but Blizzard itself doesn't do any damage. The only reason that this build works and does damage is because of the glacial aspect, when you cast Blizzard you will periodically spawn exploding ice bikes. These ice bikes scale up to obscene amounts of damage and you are essentially only scaling the damage done by these ice bikes. So your goal is to just spam Blizzard as much as humanly possible, get a whole bunch of ice bikes down on the ground and then you can scale up these ice bikes damage by tapping into a lot of crit damage and just overall damage multipliers. Blizzard by default is a fairly high mana cost spell, so in order to be spamming it, you need a lot of mana cost reduction on your gear and that is the biggest bottleneck to this build early on.

Enchants

- Frozen Orb Enchantment: Frozen orb is literally just there to apply a little bit of extra chill sometimes make enemies frozen. 

- Fire Bolt Enchantment: Fire Bolt enchant is insane for this build for a number of reasons. We can tap into a whole bunch of damage reduction via damage reduction versus burning, but we can also tap into a ton of extra damage via Devouring Blaze. Ideally, you want to get this on your amulet but you can also get glyphs increasing your direct damage to burning enemies. It is simply just the best thing to do, but you not only a lot of straight up damage reduction, it also gives you healing when you pair it with warmth, every second you heal for enemies that are burning because you're just constantly killing enemies and just running through nightmare dungeons. The second that you put a Blizzard on them they are going to be in instantly burning so you get all this additional damage reduction and healing.

Best Skills for Blizzard Sorc Build Season 3 D4 

• Flame Shield

• Frost Nova

• Ice Armor

• Teleport

• Ice Blades

• Deep Freeze

• Lightning Spear

Flame shield for the unstoppable mana cost reduction when you use it. movement speed, immunity. Frost Nova for the vulnerable application and it makes enemies frozen and we do a lot of extra damage to frozen enemies. Ice Armor is nice, you can swap out, this is probably the only skill that we'd recommend swapping out but it gives you some mana regen while it's up. You get a chance to make enemies frozen and it is just an additional barrier for survivability. Then teleport is insane. Alternatively to ice armor, you could use ice blades to apply vulnerable to enemies just for a little more consistency overall. Or you could use Lightning Spear to apply vulnerable to enemies as well. They are all interchangeable. Lastly, we have Deep Freeze, the reason for deep freeze is because anytime you press it, you just become immune. But also any time that you are low on mana, you can press it and it will instantly fill up your mana again.

Pros & Cons of Blizzard Sorc Builds Season 3

+ High AoE damage and crowd control potential.

+ Provides excellent control over the battlefield, slowing down enemies and creating opportunities for strategic positioning.

+ Can be effective against both groups of enemies and single targets.

- Relatively lower single-target damage compared to some other Sorcerer builds.

- Requires proper positioning and timing to maximize the effectiveness of the Blizzard skill.

2. D4 S3 Meteor Firewall Sorcerer Endgame Build 

The best part about this build is that is super easy to transition into from just using pure firewall to swapping over to a hybrid setup once you get the unique helmet for meteor. This build also has an incredibly low gear requirement and it will just work right off the rip because of a lot of the inherent synergies in strength of firewall by default. And it will work fantastically for you if you're just trying to level up. The biggest downside of a firewall build is the single target damage. The reason for a hybrid build rather than a full meteor build is because it is extremely gear dependent to have the build focused all around meteors.
