Chain Lightning PTR T101 | Axial Conduit Pants | My disappointment is Immeasurable

- another day, another sorc struggle. this build is honestly being carried by andariel's. When you fight a pit boss you need to let it kill you first to reduce the total health it has. This is sorc. Stack Vulnerable to scale both the poison and the Chain lightning. Flame Shield is semi useless now. Need ice armor spam and double lightning spear casts to scale damage.
If you take off Andariels, you really feel the struggle. The damage is not scaling well. New Vyr's is fine tho tbh.

"Looks like we need to nerf sorc and buff barbarian " -Blizzard probably
think i saw a 2mil crit in there, we getting closer to barbs 77barbillion dmg number
😂
At that rate, Season of the Sorc will arrive in about 20k years.
@@Dang3rMou53 lol i doubt that's enough time for blizzard to stop simping for barb😂
i'll come back when sorc ain't a bag of trash
Hoping that dmg output is with garbage gear and affixes. With frozen orb near perfect gear my lows hitting for 2.2m highs 4.4m. This is no where near it. They cherry pick what to buff with sorc is painful, but barbs they just say fk it take all the hp, dmg, dr , aspects buff like he is the weakest!. And everytime I see some barb vid blitzes pit 130+, im kinda confused why they nerfed fractured winter glass ?
@@LostDreaming i'm testing CL
hitting bosses average 1.5 - 3.5mil
That was way too efficient. Definitely getting a 50% damage nerf just like the Orb build this season. Also, 100% barb getting another buff, they are too squishy and dont do enough damage 🥂
This looks sick, but for being the "super op mega buffed" ability for Sorc next season this is laughable. Also yet another build where mana makes or breaks the build. Blizzard is incapable of just letting Sorcs have fun.
its ptr. blizzard gets feedback. i hope they will hear us
@@ferfelekistotoridis6494 hope is the first step on the road to desperation. Its Blizzard.
Just login with my ball light sorc and feel so sad. Teleport nerfed, focus nerfed, flame shield nerfed, ice armor nerfed :_(
I am teleporting 30% slower and have no more damage to compensate. If chain lightning build would not perform too, so RIP sorc
Very sad day
Me too! Light sorc main, logged into PTR tonight, played my toon, and now I'm just depressed. They BROKE bossing. Literally broke it. These devs are horrible
The God of…I mean Lord of Thunder Build lmao. This is probably the Thunder Apprentice build base on the performance. Damage needs 300% buff across the board for any Sorc build.
Or everything else needs 99% nerf.
It looks like it feels like you are a god of thunder as you run around killing mobs with this. It looks really cool. The problem is that the classes are so incredibly imbalanced in their damage output and survivability. I’ve never seen a game with such terrible class balance.
We found a bug in the pit where you have to die to them, and then you can actually deal damage to them.
yeah thats why i died
Having to let the boss kill you first seems very viable for Hardcore! 2 Thumbs up! (/s Blizzard please buff Sorc for the love of all that's Holy)
I hate how blizzard is almost trying to make you play a different class if you play solo just to be able to farm tormented or push the pit from season to season. I don’t care about specific builds being nerfed but don’t make me play barb when I find the gameplay boring just so I can have a chance at a mythic unique drop.
i have a bash barb an wasn't able to complete the t100 in ptr, so if it makes you feel better you can create a bash barb and do less damage then any build now.
Damage is to low for a fully decked Sorc. I saw a 2mil. We need hits for 30m to be able to compete with other classes.
Need 300m... and then 3B to compete with other classes.
yeah its sad. apparently there is a bug with Axial and Lucion helm so we can deal 100s mill. but sorc bugs get fixed, other classes dont
Have to give up a ring for recharging aspect sadly don’t see how else we can sustain mana… if only we could use both tals and starless
Ty for prompt testing looks fun
It literally feels like (had the same thoughts when playing wow) that Blizzard has 2 parallel teams working on the same game. Switching up every patch, so one feels decent and has some playable moments, when the next one is dog's shit .
They DO have 2 teams leap frogging dev work on seasons and they outright told us this. The odd season team clearly is the inferior design team and have no idea what they're doing.
"Look how They massacred My boy" (blizzard)
Honestly if they just adjust the single target damage this would be perfect. The only area I see this struggling is the boss portion. You mowed through the Mobs faster than I’ve been able to do with any of the classes I’ve played this season.
yeah the aspect value is so low, 22,000? It really needs to be like 200,000
they give us the flashiest skills but we got the shittiest damage, still my fellow sorcs thank you for your efforts
Lurkin, these new pants are quite interesting because there is actually very little reason to build around chain lightning with them. Why? Because their proc itself is actually better than chain lightning with a higher ceiling, and because you dont even need to directly use the skill chain lightning to use them. Go for max cdr on gear, go non-unique rings and amulet for 3x unstable current cdr reduction. Go for as much attack speed and crit chance as possible. Use arc lash and unstable currents to proc free casts of chain lightning, these work with the pants proc. You can get so much effective attack speed with arc lash now because of the new "chance to cast arc lash again" tempers, combined with the already existing second cast of arc lash on crit skill effect. You will be spitting out so many chain lightnings during unstable currents free of charge, and maintaining max mana with arc lash new 5 mana a hit effect(works on the additional proc when you crit and addittional cast tempers). The last part of this strategy is the new helm of lucion. This is because its increased resource cost per stack works on the pants effect "6 mana drained", which is important because it allows you to build up to the 66 threshold far faster and more often. I was able to kill tormented duriel in 10 seconds. Addittionally since you wont be spending mana casting arc lash, the helm will still build up stacks off of the mana spent on the pants proc itself. Allowing you to maintain max stacks at all times.
Dont build around chain lightning at all, build around the pants effect, and arc lash. You only need a a point in chain lightning and two more in its sub tree, simply to access the pants proc.
the pants would need to be 200,000 damage for them to be good
People are sleeping on Shocking Impact. 150% damage to stunned enemies with 3 ranks and that is easy to do with LS and Audacity. You can also add ranks with amulet
Doesn’t work on bosses. Not sleeping on anything.
I think the build is good need some small buffs only, as i heard that the bosses in the ptr take almost close to no damage as they are bugged, not sure if they fixed them.
Plus remember they gonna introduce the new S5 theme which include some powers and such as well to compensate, but compare this to Barb, this is shit i agree.
You gotta die for the bosses health to back to normal, or dip in and out of the entrance of the boss room quick and let the fog wall come up, then re enter
I started out playing my Blizzard build. The cooldown changes on Ice Armor and Flame shield hurt and then add to that the loss of CDR on the focus and it has slowed that build down. Then I made a new character to try Lightning. Since Blizzard keeps reducing our defensive abilities, I figured they must have given us some big damage so that we do not need defense because we will one shot everything. Nope, although the lightning skills look cool as hell, I struggled even doing mini bosses in Helltides. I then put on Andariel helm, and put a few points in Ice Blades and Hydra for more types of damage and more cooldowns for Prodigy (mana problems). Still no defensive skills because I know Blizzard has got my back and they are encouraging me to play full offense. Right?
This looks incredibly fun
I think with some buffs it could be strong. Base damage just isn’t there. I got the build to feel good mana wise where I want it
I feel like every build doesn’t have to be the most powerful. For me a fun build is enough, and this is an awesome looking one.
@chrisbenson98 yeah if it can do the higher content while feeling good to play that's fine. If it can't farm high enough that it's hard to justify grouping up because everyone is clearing much lower that's an issue
@@chrisbenson98 i agree with that concept, but, when You can't go up more, thats close the posibility to enjoy more the game (i have been playing chain lightning every season )
@p7755fn yeah I know what you mean. There's definitely a healthy balance. Farming the highest lv crafting materials while not steam rolling 200s haha
Capping the damage on greater chain lightning to 30% was a big mistake, even without the cap it wouldnt have amounted to much damage anyway.
I dont know what the design philosophy behind this change was.
You cant even infinitely scale this damage increase, its capped at the max amount of bounces so why?
I think the pit nerfs didn’t make it into the PTR, everyone is struggling. I wouldn’t overthink it.
no. necros hit for 6 billion with bone splinter
Any particular reason we are putting points into Charged bolts and ball lightning when they're not on the action bar?
Damage reduction from them. They spawn a lot during unstable currents
I clicked "Show Normal Damage" in options and I still cant see Sorc damage numbers.
Build actually works with CROWN of LUCION. Sadly helm is bugged an makes DobbleDip multiple DMG.
Yeah I’m not really sure if I’m going to make a video on it. It’s pretty shit gameplay. You cast once and let it chain back and forth and the damage stacks
I had zero expectations and Im still disappointed. Maybe arc lash will work but thats it
Have u tried with new unique helm with chain pants , saw a clip , was slapping.
@@kevinmann2154 Im a ps5 player, unfortunatelly I can only watch others testing
Seems very fun, great for speed running all content, easily deals with high pit for material farm.
Couldn't care less if there are stronger builds, it's more than adequate.
Bro F them..If you want to play real Wizard try Last Epoch, next season is coming soon. :)
As a fellow sorc I can tell you. Blizzard is testing our love for the brand.
I never give up I only play with sorc mostly HC, since they changed the flame shield enchantment slot I knew blizzard is trying to turn our class in a worthless piece of garbage!
We die so easy and have to rely on magic for stay alive, when we menage to stay alive they start nerf our skills
Sorc. Underwhelming? No way. It’s almost like a running joke at this point. Let’s nerf survivability. AND Make it do less damage than every other class. It’s not even like it’s something that’s a skill gap to if you’re good at it it’s godly. It just plain sucks that you HAVE to have 3 defense skill slots at all time to do average content.
at end of the day it doesn't metter , if CL hit like a wet noodle , with this unique we still have a really cool and flashy wet noodle🤣
Still the same really. Frozen orb can clear mobs but not boss. Same situation. Looks fun but requires buffs
Only barbs can hit high without bugs
that’s a tier 101 to sad days…
Yup
At this point they have 0 excuse they just dont care man its not that hard to give some buff to sorc we do like 0.1% of the dmg done by barb and rogue
Will skip season 5. I don't like how stronger barbs and other classes become with every patch and how much stupid nerfs and new absurd mechanics reseive sorcs.
Pit is bugged. Even devs said it. Don't know if only bosses but some say that mobs are too. It's harder. My friend that is testing on Ptr he did pit 101 hardly but on S4 he could do 140. So bad scaling maybe. We will see. Thanks for showcase and keep up good work, thank 😊
you can die and it fixes it. or enter and leave quick then re-enter throught the fog. that is why i died
I will try a hydra burning but for sure s5 will be Druid for me, sorc needs to be rebuilt as it was for abattoir , sorc was good just cause dmg red on injured, sorc is a meme right now
i think the real sorx build in s5 is blizzard with azurewrath and shatter.
bro i hate shatter
This is the build I've been waiting for. Hoping for some buffs before the season
Remember that time sorc had a bugged build that is constantly referenced by Blizz and others as OP and broken? Spolier....it was still worse than barb in that season 😊
We need Season 2 ball lightning back. It was the first time we had power comparable to Barb, and it got taken away from us while Barb got stronger
Good at clearing.. terrible on bosses :( ... I looked forward for that build to come but after making it I had problems with the boss at ND 90... :(
Druids doing 19 damage now. We’re getting closer to barbs as well.
Seems like dmg needs to be doubled to even tickle barbarians balls. Let alone compete
storm swell aspect is giving 30% dmg when u have ice armor active and another 30% to frozen enemies
Well they got the visuals and gameplay loop down…now give a boost to base damage of chain lightning and give unbroken tether x% damage pls
even boosting the base damage isn't enough. we need actual ways to scale
sorc is such a glass cannon, minus the cannon part.
All glass no cannon
Won't this temper disappear from the game? Unless I increase the number of times I can do it, it's not worth it. As long as Sorc remains weak I won't go back to this game and I won't give in to another class.
You need the Crown of Lucion with Axial Conduit.
Yup we just learned this. This came to light after my video was released
Did I saw for a split second 10m dmg? I might be wrong, but just in case, nerf it.
Looks really cool, does 0 damage. Must be a sorc build
im addicited to the visuals. send help
@Lurkin17 Rizzed with the vizz by Blizz, like the rest of us. Sorc literally needs a 900-1000% damage buff to hit the dps of the other classes. In other words, it's a full order of magnitude worse than everyone else. But they said, "Nerf defenses, nerf movement, give em powerwheels and say it's a real racecar"
This build is so low damage against bosses....and the bosses are bugged, if u die once you get like 1000 stacks of pity and they have like 1% of their original HP on your second try. Horrible changes and horrible tuning.
Why u dont play blizzard? Blizzard sorc doing 800m burst its my fav build
really? that would be amazing
yeah we just learned about the bug. appears to be with lucion and axial
Isn't this one of the builds hitting for 2 quadrillion alongside druid shenanigans...?
That is Lucion when combined with the Axial Pants. The lucion helmet itself is NOT BUGGED. It is only when used in combination with the Axial pants
I was on PTR tonight. Ready for this? I couldnt even damage the boss of the Pit, and it was the lvl I use for farming. Overall mobbing might have been a little bit quicker, but they BROKE bossing. You thought it was bad before? Shit's unplayable
This weird boss bug, i hope they fix it quickly
i fixed the bug by dying so thiis was legit damage
@@Lurkin17 yeah, but I just don't want to die first every time I do the boss 😅
man this electromaster build is interesting
Well this looks cool af anyways. Needs some buffs to be more viable though.
are pits harder on ptr again ? cause this is kinda sad if its a 101 like in current season.
Yeah dude idk wtf happened but they are hard
How much of the damage is from Andariel's? I tried the new pants on my sorc (which in fairness is designed for ball lightning) and it was sort of like getting a weak ball lightning in exchange for 66 mana. I need to try some other options but so far neither of the new sorc uniques are worthwhile.
use lucion helm with axial. its bugged and doing stupid damage
Blizzard really nerfed Sorc to the ground.. this is so sad.. guess I’m not playing season 5
Visually stunning but Barb still a massive outlier in damage
Visually it looks cool and it seems like it would be fun to play but the damage numbers just seem so far from what the other classes are doing.
Seeing what the new chain lightning sorc will be like on the S5 (melee, no dmg, and forced to collect crackling energy, one of the worst mechanics in the game), it will be the perfect time to uninstall the game and not pay for the expansion
respect bro
Hi can you explain pls about attack speed breakpoints if you know
Like 1000% more damage and a perma cooldown shrine then it'll be good
I’m glad there’s a PTR so they can fixed this shit. SMH
That looks like damage without vampyric powers in s2 lmao
I love how everything is stunned before u even get there. The pit was lovely, and boss damage does look pretty good. Imma definitely have to try n stack max life on the bitch in higher tiers. Build/affixes/tempering/aspects look like choices i would make as well. Awesome vid and showcase!!
You think that looked good? That was terrible..
Bro has gutters for standards😂
Sorc always never getting big bursts of damage like other classes but at least dps is good? I can’t stand this. They better be cooking up massive buffs for the actual season drop. This is ridiculous.
Dmg numbers so low. How can we compite others. I did try both new pant and new staff... oh god staff is more terrible then pant
Staff is so bad. Idk what person they paid to make it but please hire me
RIP sorc
Can this get any better or no ? I’m saying maybe A tier good vid thz
Yeah it can. It’s scaling wildly with the new lucion helmet right now
Get the new unique helm Crown of Lucion and you will do alot more damage.
Yeah I was able to get it after the video. Only works well when you cast 1-2 CLs you can’t spam
Did they revert the PIT boss DR? If so, this might be impressive.
i have never seen these pants before what the hell
PTR
looks impressive visually at least. boss damage is doo doo brown. all show, no go.
All these damage legendary effects are bad as theres no way to scale them or they dont work with other multipliers.
The only one ive seen that can scale is the wind shear aspect which is bugged as the basic skill multiplers from other aspects scales the poison damage on the wind sheer aspect as well as the base wind shear damage
They need to give us ridiculous i mean ridiculous multipliers, tal rasha should give 50% per stack lol and give us back omnipower, that was the only season where chain lightning was viable.
Did you already get a chance to test the new boots vs Esus?
okay i HAVE to say this sorcerer is META shhh don't tell blizzard😂
let me finish tempering and masterworking i am sure we can hit bosses 20mil EASY i can get to the end of t100 pit in around 2min or less with 5 items not masterworked or tempered
⚡
is andaeiel's, chain lightning, or the explosions doing the most damage
Barb 4 release a new balance patch for barb
That seems a bit underwhelming.
Are you not whelmed?
@@Lurkin17 Definitely one of the builds of all time.
Blizzards finest unique craftsmanship
you have a long range build so maybe don't hug the boss? Aren't you supposed to try and avoid its attacks instead of acting like a punching ball?
I'm not mad that you posted this, I'm mad that somebody read it and said "omg, right?!" and clicked the thumbs up button.
Chain lightning has terrible single target damage. It struggles on bosses, and in The Pit you have limited time to kill a boss. On top of that, Pit 101 is literally only used as a benchmark for speedfarming efficiency. The pants make chain lightning orbit you, so you have to stand next to bosses to get the orbiting lightning damage on single targets.
You missed the entire purpose of this video.
all my gear is from the season and a lot of it had damage to close. so i hug the boss
@@manafount2600just goes to show the quality of playerbase majority for D4. Bunch of dumdums. I believe it's a barb player.😂
Yeah, Idk what to say... I Will say tho tier 90 pits feel like the current pit tier 101
you gotta die at boss or enter quick to spawn boss and head back. then the fog wall goes up and you re enter and boss has normal health
hello man >> can you give me a help to defeat Uber lilith ?
nope sorry. check the barb chats my dude
Underwhelming? This shit looks fun as hell lol
we figured out axial and lucion are super bugged together so iit will be strong with iti
😂😂 bro has shit for standards 😂
The TH-cam Rob make a video saying he does not like the idea of a barbarian skill being nerfed, immediately blizzard releases a note telling they made a mistake on the patch description and they won't do the particular nerf.
Sorc only gets strong when blizzard let a bug pass like happened with ball lightning
Barb needs to get flattened. Sorc is incredibly balanced besides firebolt shatter, as shatter can chain react and scale too the moon with caveat of requiring trash mobs. All of our builds fall within 10-15 tiers of each other which is better than any other class. Classes need to get balanced like sorc, content needs to get nerfed. I’m not saying T200 needs to be possible. But if content is nerfed, and everyone is balanced to sorc. No one will tell the difference because everything will still be hard. Sorc already feels this past 120/130
You should try arc lash with pang and the new 1h sword that gives 300% more basic attack dmg
Yeah, but, where is the sword? Is it a rare item dropping from the 250 aether chest? Cause I don't think anybody has that thing
cant even get lucion. cant get the sword.
@Lurkin17 ah sorry I didn't know I just figured it dropped from one of the bosses such as duriel and all them.
@@ssjwalts8942 I got the sword from a helltide boss. Unfortunately missing other pieces of the build but I do want to at least put something like that together and see what it's capable of while I'm on PTR.
Why font use new boots for cdr ? And flame shield w/o cd
and lose 30% crit chance on esus with the new vyrs that procs off crits? No thank you, their damage is fucking terrible. flame shield is dead to me
@@Lurkin17 i`wanna see you`ll clean PIT 120+ w/o flame shield xD
what are the enchantment?
Ice blade LS
This looks super strong! I think they will nerf the chain light dmg by 50% when PRT ends
The only class that can do damage in Barblo IV is Barbarian - deal with this.
That's why they won't nerf Gushing Wounds but instead, they will increase the bleed time (which means more damage), will increase by 50% Polearm damage (from 10%[x] to 15%[x]), and that's why they will buff Grandfather by 100% from 100%[x] to 200%[x] and on top of everything new aspect to pull in nearby enemies every 1s and deal to them extra 10%[x] damage.
At level 60 and crap gear showing 15-17k every stun
Yeah it’s a whole different ball game once you get to end game. Shocking impact can be some nice chip, but the real damage gate is unstoppable elites and bosses so it loses value
Why andy and not shako? Which lvl you think this can rich?
No clue. Pits are really weird right now. You need to die to boss to have its health drop to what it should be
@@Lurkin17 THat's not what it should be, it's the same thing happening in NM dungeons. After you die once, their HP drops to basically nothing compared to initially.
Andy got a huge damage buff (well they fixed the tooltip and we realized how much damage it was doing). It just does more than the Shako ranks
What kind of yu gi oh bs is this affix?
So sad story. Break to season 6.
Literally PTR this is why we have this and than they'll get your feedback and buff the skills and change other things... Literally day one of PTR give them a second to adjust
Lol
thats why i made the video. to say it sucks. thats my feedback
Ya sorc blows
