Personally, for levels before 50, I had been using an admittedly unresearched, master-of-none build with:

  1. Frost Nova
  2. Hydra
  3. Inferno
  4. Arc Lash
  5. Chain Lightning
  6. Teleport

Enchantments:

  1. Fireball
  2. Blizzard, cuz why not

It was a ton of fun vacuuming up mobs, freezing them, and then using chain lightning to make them explode like little grenades right on top of each other, but it was admittedly VERY weak against single bosses.

After I finished the campaign, I switched to a much more min-maxed Ice Shards lucky hit build that’s just been melting enemies like crazy:

  1. Teleport
  2. Frost Nova
  3. Flame Shield
  4. Deep Freeze
  5. Frost Bolt
  6. Ice Shards

Enchantments:

  1. Fireball
  2. Ice Shards

I don’t have all the gear yet to avoid mana depletion and my barriers need work but its getting there.

Anyways, I just wanted to ask what you guys were doing with your Sorc builds to see what others have been enjoying :)

    I’m currently running with… Frost Armour, Teleport, Frost Nova, Hydra, Frost Bolt, Ice Shards. And using Firebolt and frostbolt enchantments.

    Enemies die really quickly. Mana isn’t much of a problem at level 65 with all the aspects I’m wearing.

    I’m feeling like Hydra’s probably run its course. I mostly use it for some passive damage against bosses but it really doesn’t do much overall. So I’m considering switching it out for Blizzard or something else.

      Yeah hydra was okay for me early game but even then it still felt like they were just whittling down enemies rather than dealing substantial damage. I think during endgame it’s only useful in applying Burning so you can get that extra critical strike damage from your passives but it’s too unpredictable and there are probably more efficient ways at applying Burning.
