Have to compliment you on the amazing sorc content. Good call some other creators not showing how far this pushes in pits. Apprecite you showcasing all this with the builds. Keep up the amazing work! 👌
I don’t want to showcase the max pit push because it’s not fun, but I like to show a respectable clear around T80/T85 that showcases proof of concept, and then based on time I can guesstimate the cap because pits scale 26% per tier
whatever board there is, just keep filling out points grabbing additive or life nodes around the boards. If you run out of things to grab random int nodes. I stopped at paragon 260 personally.
It's a good aspect but I don't use it. It's not as powerful as some of the other options. you can try it out. find a pit tier that takes you around 4-5 minutes and experiment with aspects. its how i land where I land on builds. what feels best around the 5 min clear mark?
Yeah it’s just not good. You get more value currently out of any combination of ice blades, teleport, and firebolt. Next season it’s basically ice blade teleport enchant on everything
I THINK(don't know for sure) if you want to min max shock is better cause of the higher value, but csd is easier to get, 1 in 3 compared to 1 in 4 and you can use it on other builds.
Hello, First of all, thanks for your hard work and explainations ! A question tho, In your guide you says to use Wand but in your video your using a Sword. is that an issue ? Thanks
I dropped a 4GA axial conduit, but the bolt explode is kinda low roll :( do you think i should use it over a 1GA axial with maxroll on the bolt explode ?
Did the latest patch just kill Fireball? it seems it no longer does any big dmg? could speedclear pit 80 but now its absolute struggle, next to no billion crits unlike before
you may have been running a pit with tight corridors, when the fireballs get eaten by walls you lose a lot of the bugged damage. its the same damage for me
Why aren't you going for "critical shock damage" on every tempers ? It's a genuine question i did not dare to go for it, but it's suggested in some other CL builds. TIA
if you opt to run splintering as a supplemental aspect you need critical strike damage tempers. shock crit does nothing to scale splinter. going critical strike damage also allows pieces to be used across multiple builds in a given season, rather than just shock builds.
BTW why use for tempering critical strike damage but not shock critical temper? It should give a bit more critical strike damage in total, or it doesn't work with spear aspect?
What's your opinion on using Aspect of Elemental Acuity? I use it with Summoned Familiar and have nearly 100% uptime of the huge mana generation increase
After 2 days of playing, 12hours per day / pit / hordes, to get atleast GA Conjur or GA Int on amulet. Im loosing my hope.. Is there some alternative amulet for this build? instead of double mastery? Any combination, which is close to double mastery amu? And one more important question, how much % is minimum for CDR to get worked? im sitting at 43% in town and its almost impossible to boost that. I got already ring at MW 8 for CDR, My crit is 98% cuz i got already MW 12 helmet and got aswell GA Crit skies ring. I know CDR is on the focus, but there is no on market with GA CDR and aswell, its super rare to drop or gamble it. Thats why im asking. Right now, im playing almost without amulet (Winterglass, which is ussulles for this build only mastery is good) I guess, %int, %attack speed + rerroll to conjur? Or its must have to GA conjur? Thank you for any advice and sorry for my english aswell :D
been following and using this build since day 1, the damage is superb, the sustain is ok, but the problem I always encounter is the mana... do not have any uber yet, and still do not have a clue on what to do with that problem, and been thinking of using the 'starlight' aspect...
How exactly would you solve the problem of not having ubers ? The mana is the most important, would going crackling and if so, maybe get the LS enchant ? Also, thank you very much for the CL build. Even if FO is best, most of us want to have fun and you can't say fun w/o Chain Lightning. Also also, even if you make the focus more on LS, if CL is the main skill it doesn't matter, it's all about the flashiness of CL :)
He said multiple times, that you can, he shows on the infernal hordes how it plays w/o splintering. It's just his personal preference in order to kill the trash faster.
I’m currently paragon 249, started off as sorc and have a chain lightning build that I can hit pretty hard and clear 90-95 pits. I broke down and made a SB because farming bosses I tier 4, my buddy was hitting for 2 bil as I’m struggling to hit for 500mil. SB is so broken, it sucks playing anything else. Edit: I still check every day to see if new sorc builds are out there that can compete, but I’ve oven up hope
Im new to D4 been playin for like a month but what does sb mean? Im using the fireball build that lurkin recently made but im assuming ya saying the sb build is better?
Until they fix the SB bugs nothing will come close. Some of these bugs are basically making the spirit hit for 100s of percent of multiplicative damage that stack with each other. Mid-season patch might bring some parity.
I really wish I could figure out what I'm not getting about the chain lightning build this season, it's usually my favorite build, but I just must be missing something. I'm lvl 57, using your build, don't have axial, but I am on the starter build, and it just sucks. I'm doing no damage, takes me an hour to get through a normal dungeon, and the incinerate build I was using was destroying everything. I can't play that thought because it just seems lame to me, you're like a blowtorch and it's boring. Anyway, what could I possibly be doing wrong??
Hey, among your John Snow, Red Wedding and this builds, which one would you recommend, I am leveling a sorc right now and would love to go all in for the strongest build. Thank you.
@@Lurkin17 Thank you for the answer. I know that you mentioned Fireball is a bit annoying in the narrow corridors and it lacks HP. Do you think it would still cover up those flaws with the high damage over the other builds?
I’m going to need some boots and the same amulet I’ve been searching for for seasons. The fact you got dev blaze and conj mastery on one is a feat of its own
in my opinion the aspect in the amulet is a useless piece of shi**. why not take the suffix about the chance of vulnerability into the gloves? this will free up your hands for a more useful aspect in the amulet.
It’s so back dawg. I even demonstrated it without splintering to show its back!!! Splintering is just good as an accessory to help mob faster in the pit I have to take it
@@Lurkin17 uh...even without Spiritborn this is underwhelming. Soloing uber bosses should take 2-5 seconds with end game gear and paragon. Spiritborn just happens to do it in 1-3 seconds.

When I check on Mobalytics, the weapon used is Azurewrath, but in the video, it's Serpent's Bite. Which one should I use?
Tbh just use a splintering sword
What was the largest pit you could fill?
what is the maximum level of the pit you cover with this build? I do 92 pits with fireball. Is there any point in changing build....
I would stay fireball tbh
Is this better than your frozen orb build?
About the same ish
What is your source of causing vulnerable with this build?
Spears during UC
Lurkin do you have an end game paragon board for this build?this look fun beside spirit born
whatever board there is, just keep filling out points grabbing additive or life nodes around the boards. If you run out of things to grab random int nodes. I stopped at paragon 260 personally.
Hmm, I don't get fire familiars. They're mostly ice.
How are enemies burning? It used to be because of fire bolt in enchantment slot, how do u get it in this build? What am I missing? :(
familiars with enhanced familiar. You make fire familiars during unstable currents, as it defaults to fire
Can it work with any other amulet alternative that does not have conjuration mastery?
it can, getting MW hits on resource gen just matter a lot then on axial
I was able to close the 98th pit on this build. 1 minute left) Not bad.
I never liked chain lightning, or sorc all that much… until axial conduit unique. Now it’s my favorite build in the game.
yeah its solidly in A tier. It's very strong and fast. one of my favorites
Thanks for the guide brother, I was wondering what your thought is on elemental constellation?
It's a good aspect but I don't use it. It's not as powerful as some of the other options. you can try it out. find a pit tier that takes you around 4-5 minutes and experiment with aspects. its how i land where I land on builds. what feels best around the 5 min clear mark?
Is chain lightning enchantment never worth it or something?
Yeah it’s just not good. You get more value currently out of any combination of ice blades, teleport, and firebolt. Next season it’s basically ice blade teleport enchant on everything
did you see the new lightning spear build that uses arc slash? seems a bit better than the frozen orb one
its not. did you see them do any pits in the video. why do you think that was
Thank You for this build, Lurkin! 🤩
she's a fun one
If i dont have starless skies what can i swap it for
In the guide I have options in endgame for that
Is elemental constellation any good after the patch?
i dont think so
Any difference between using Critical Strike Damage and Shock Critical Strike Damage when tempering?
I THINK(don't know for sure) if you want to min max shock is better cause of the higher value, but csd is easier to get, 1 in 3 compared to 1 in 4 and you can use it on other builds.
If you are using splintering, only CSD applies for it. Not shock CSD
Thanks for the reply
Hello,
First of all, thanks for your hard work and explainations !
A question tho, In your guide you says to use Wand but in your video your using a Sword. is that an issue ?
Thanks
nah wand or sword is fine, doesn't make a big difference
@@Lurkin17tanks for the answer and again, awesome work.
Helped me a lot to understand some mechanics and it’s very smooth to play
Worth respeccing into this if the only unique/mythic I'm missing is Starless, or should I wait?
Lack of starless will make mana painful.
An elemental acuity ring with resource cost reduction affix and temper should manage
How are you getting the unstable current cooldown to go so fast? I have orange herald and it won’t work the same way
its because I have very high attack speed and i cast more, so it reduces more
I dropped a 4GA axial conduit, but the bolt explode is kinda low roll :(
do you think i should use it over a 1GA axial with maxroll on the bolt explode ?
i would use the one with the highest value aspect, its the most important thing on there. try to sell the quad GA. people go bonkers over quad GAs
@@Lurkin17 im sad about that cause i masterworked alrdy 😭
Did the latest patch just kill Fireball? it seems it no longer does any big dmg? could speedclear pit 80 but now its absolute struggle, next to no billion crits unlike before
Really ? Can someone please confirm ?
you may have been running a pit with tight corridors, when the fireballs get eaten by walls you lose a lot of the bugged damage. its the same damage for me
Why aren't you going for "critical shock damage" on every tempers ? It's a genuine question i did not dare to go for it, but it's suggested in some other CL builds. TIA

What about azurewrath + frostburn CL? did they gut these uniques for good or no info on them yet?
They are back in the next patch but they are fixed, they wore bugged before.
not expecting much from them
@@Lurkin17 Had time to test them ?
BTW why use for tempering critical strike damage but not shock critical temper? It should give a bit more critical strike damage in total, or it doesn't work with spear aspect?
Shock critical strike damage, in my previous testing, did not apply towards splintering scaling
How are you guys getting these runes? I can't find tam anywhere.
Grinding bosses til my eyes bleed dawg
would like to play sorc again, is there a hc version of the build?
It would be with tyraels and reinforced over flamefeeder.
What's your opinion on using Aspect of Elemental Acuity? I use it with Summoned Familiar and have nearly 100% uptime of the huge mana generation increase
Personnaly i wont drop this before starless, but i dont have focus regen modifier
i use elemental acuity in the pre starless version. i have no mana issues, especially when using resource pot

Conj mastery, int, then anything that’s useful. Could be int and DB. Cooldown is fine. Life is fine
@@Lurkin17 Thanks man
Hey lurkin.. i have raiment of infinite with GA glass canon, Glass canon still can go 7? Or 6 cap
7
Which Sorcerer build do you think is the most fun and satisfying this season while still being able to tackle all T4 content?
fireball tbh
been following and using this build since day 1, the damage is superb, the sustain is ok, but the problem I always encounter is the mana... do not have any uber yet, and still do not have a clue on what to do with that problem, and been thinking of using the 'starlight' aspect...
starlight was amazing last season. nerfed this season but can still help alot.
How are you managing, what pit tier can you clear w/o ubers ? In what world tier are you farming ?
@@MosCraciun777 using the 'Recharging' aspect on my other ring, every bounce of CL gives you 5 mana (maxed)...
Recharging is kinda bad imo. Try elemental acuity
How exactly would you solve the problem of not having ubers ?
The mana is the most important, would going crackling and if so, maybe get the LS enchant ?
Also, thank you very much for the CL build. Even if FO is best, most of us want to have fun and you can't say fun w/o Chain Lightning.
Also also, even if you make the focus more on LS, if CL is the main skill it doesn't matter, it's all about the flashiness of CL :)
If mana is an issue, drop greater CL for destructive and take the crackling node where pickups grant mana
Anyone having mana issue? i m not sure what went wrong but my gear is nearly idenical
Need that lucky hit restore roll on focus. And use Poc + LUM
So another conjugation build with lightning spear. Is there no way to just play with chain lightning at this point?
He said multiple times, that you can, he shows on the infernal hordes how it plays w/o splintering. It's just his personal preference in order to kill the trash faster.
Yeah. Azurewrath and Frostburn just got released
I’m currently paragon 249, started off as sorc and have a chain lightning build that I can hit pretty hard and clear 90-95 pits.
I broke down and made a SB because farming bosses I tier 4, my buddy was hitting for 2 bil as I’m struggling to hit for 500mil. SB is so broken, it sucks playing anything else.
Edit: I still check every day to see if new sorc builds are out there that can compete, but I’ve oven up hope
sb is so bugged, nothing will come close
Im new to D4 been playin for like a month but what does sb mean? Im using the fireball build that lurkin recently made but im assuming ya saying the sb build is better?
Nevermind i just realized ur talking about spiritborn lol
@Lurkin17 ey Lurkin for Sorc is fireball the best build? Ive been using it for a week now nd feel much stronger
Until they fix the SB bugs nothing will come close. Some of these bugs are basically making the spirit hit for 100s of percent of multiplicative damage that stack with each other. Mid-season patch might bring some parity.
Could you use Esadoras with this build?
You could just a waaay different setup
You can. It’s just a big damage loss overall. Damage aspect at 50% plus and the 2-3 damage passives
I really wish I could figure out what I'm not getting about the chain lightning build this season, it's usually my favorite build, but I just must be missing something. I'm lvl 57, using your build, don't have axial, but I am on the starter build, and it just sucks.

I can't play that thought because it just seems lame to me, you're like a blowtorch and it's boring. Anyway, what could I possibly be doing wrong??
Ok so it's evidently that my unstable currents cool down is 58.52 seconds, and that's the only time I do any damage. How do I keep this up?
On starter CL build try using elemental constellation on your weapon since you don't have AC pants, pair it with unbroken tether for more shock procs
Leveling with CL is sort of bad. I’m considering deleted the leveling guide and just telling people to level with burning
Thx ill try it
Curious how this compares to your fireball build! Either way, might check it out fulfill my sith lord power fantasy 😂
Fireball stronger. This one’s super fun and speedfarms T4 content just as fast
PALPATINE WOULD BE PROUD 😈👉⚡⚡⚡
Ironic
Hey, among your John Snow, Red Wedding and this builds, which one would you recommend, I am leveling a sorc right now and would love to go all in for the strongest build. Thank you.
Fireball is the easiest to gear and strongest off the rip. Huge boss killer
@@Lurkin17 Thank you for the answer. I know that you mentioned Fireball is a bit annoying in the narrow corridors and it lacks HP. Do you think it would still cover up those flaws with the high damage over the other builds?
I started off with Frozen orb, but switched to fire ball when I seem how OP the staff and gloves are my fireball skill is 25 outta 5
I❤ CHAIN LIGHTNING
CHAIN LIGHTNING GANG
I’m going to need some boots and the same amulet I’ve been searching for for seasons. The fact you got dev blaze and conj mastery on one is a feat of its own
try meteor next, the the rune word that drops extra meteors
It’s on the list after charged flash and incinerate aspect getting buffs
Your build doesn't match your video. Your build has shroud of false death and azurewrath and frostburn. The video doesn't.
yeah this is an older variant of the build
in my opinion the aspect in the amulet is a useless piece of shi**. why not take the suffix about the chance of vulnerability into the gloves? this will free up your hands for a more useful aspect in the amulet.
do i have shredding blades amulet? It's for the 53% damage lol. The vulnerable part from ice blades is irrelevant
@Lurkin17 thx i miss that!!!
its back?!?! tell me its back?!
It’s so back dawg. I even demonstrated it without splintering to show its back!!! Splintering is just good as an accessory to help mob faster in the pit I have to take it
lol Sorc. 0:25 So cute taking forever to kill boss.
damn my bad dawg let me play spiritborn and have the game hand me a trillion damage cuz of bugs. giga skill and build crafting
@@Lurkin17 uh...even without Spiritborn this is underwhelming. Soloing uber bosses should take 2-5 seconds with end game gear and paragon. Spiritborn just happens to do it in 1-3 seconds.
