  • Diablo 4 Infinite mana Sorcerer explained. How to never run out of mana again on sorcerer and sorceress. This also works for certain classes and contains some tips for general resource regeneration, but is mainly aimed at sorcerers.
    There are plenty of other aspects that can be used and other ways to keep mana regeneration high, but this is what I use and has helped me create very mana heavy builds.
    This is what I use to identify what rolls on what gear, so hopefully this helps find where to look for mana regen and cooldown reduction: d4builds.gg/database/gear-aff...

    There are lots of other ways to improve mana on Sorcerer, but these are the things I do to get to near perfect mana uptime. I also stream if you ever want to come hang out live or talk about builds or anything Diablo 4: www.twitch.tv/medievalmarty
    The build used in the video is still the Blizzard build from before: d4builds.gg/builds/d2fa1628-3551-4091-b8fc-49f53e57b555/

      Awesome name by the way!! New sub and liked your video A LOT! I main a Sorc and I’m currently having problems with Mana on my Ice Shards build! Gonna try the things you suggested in the video (well the ones I can without wrecking my build) and see how it helps! Do you run solo or in a group? If you run in a group is it possible to link up sometime?

    The biggest problem with Sorcerer is the fact that I shouldn't have to run every single defensive just to have a viable character build. Mana issues should also be solveable without having to utilize a singular aspect that again forces me to take as many defensives or other cooldown abilities as possible.

    Another thing that wasn't mentioned is that teleport and frost nova are defensive skills with cooldowns, and they also gain reduced cooldown times per level. So getting +levels to teleport, ice nova, or all defensive skills will help reduce the cooldown on those.

    you can also put 1 point into firebolt and never even use it, but select it as one of your enchantments,
    this makes all of your spells cause burning, and from that you can get procs of:
    Fiery Surge (30% faster mana regen for a few seconds when you kill a burning enemy)
    and Incendiary Aspect (every tick of burning have a chance to restore 10 mana.)

      Bro I'm a sorc and I mainly 80% uptime of skills solved my mana problem.
      Maybe just look at aspects, go to the dungeon and do them. Then stop putting on any random gear and actually gear up correctly.
      I'm not a noov to these types of games but it isn't hard to figure out. I think people just got to used to turning on TH-cam and having someone tell you how to play a game instead of learning how things work.
      Sorc has mana regen for every element. It has aspects that can be used on any elemental build that can build your mana back up in a flash.
      I can almost bet that if the people complaining showed their gear/build, your average ARPG player could fix most of your issues.
      My only tip is to take a breath and read the skills/nodes on skill tree/and don't just slap on gear with bigger numbers.

    Honestly the single handed best tip was the dungeon giving the mana on cooldown. I've been using a similar build to yours and mana was a struggle lucky hit was proc'ing a lot but not enough and i was struggling with most bosses. After seeing the mana gain on cooldown perk i was like wow why dont i have that. and instantly set my next goal to put 3 pieces with that on. The difference is insane! I've overlooked that so many times because it didnt seem worth until now im struggling hard. But that was a lifesaver thanks broski

    Seriously, thank you for this! I just couldn't figure out why the heck my mana was always empty! I was literally resorting to using a basic skill while my mana regened, so I would end up basically shooting ice shards twice followed by like 6 arch lashes 😅

    I should look into that aspect that gives mana back when using a cd skill… but what I did to my build recently was try to get my Lucky Hit Chance as high as possible, and man I can tell you it really helped me soooo much, especially my 1v1’s against Bosses at the end of a dungeon.. nearly infinite mana fighting a boss, so therefore I can kill it fast. My Lucky Hit Chance total along with Lucky Hit when Barrier is active, totals to about 84.5%, which is huge considering it used to be around 30%+…

    I realized I have a high lucky hit chance from my equipment...so I maxed out the 3 point lucky hit tree, imprinted some clutch aspects - one increases mana regen by 30% when not hit for 3 seconds, and another adds 1 more banked skill to avalanche, and another gives me 17% extra lucky hit chance when I have a barrier. I also got a nice re-roll on an attribute that gives my weapon 12% resource regen. Now I'm casting free ice shards and blizzards all over the place and my regen feels crazy

  • @DeemsTheMemes

    I haven’t needed to worry about mana yet because my build is literally unstable currents based. I’m a pure lightning sorcerer. All my damage comes from holding the basic attack button and watching all my other pieces of my build just work. I’m new to Diablo as a whole I have just about 57 hours split between 3 characters. But right now I’m focusing on my sorcerer.
    Basically this is what I’ve got
    Helmet = casting 5 basic skills reduces cooldowns
    Chest piece = heal up to 100 hp per second when close to enemies
    Gloves = vampiric curse soul attack on teleport
    Pants = basic skill grants 20% damage reduction
    Boots = 5 close enemy stuns every 20 seconds
    Wand = increased chain lightning bounces
    Focus = every basic skill cats has a 12% chance to fire any other lightning skill when not in unstable currents
    Ring 1 = unstable currents has 24% chance to double shot its skills
    Ring 2 = + 20% attack speed
    And amulet = up to 29% increased damage based on how much mana I have. Which sense I don’t use mana, is always a 29% buff.

    @venimus777 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Having Lucky Hit: Resource restore is better than the Mana Regen bonus. Though if you have it on 2-3 items the Lucky hit is not rolling 2 times, but the % mana restored is the sum of all items (still the lucky hit is 5%). Moreover the lucky hit is triggered by any Ice shard hit (including the ones from the enchantment towards Frozen), as well as any Ice spike from the blizard (and other skills). So you just need Lucky Hit chance 30%+ and in addition some bonus mana from Paragons and items, you will never run out of mana. Also Avalanche is good that it increases the DMG from the cast (and with high lucky hit it is basically any second cast that is free and boosted). On earlier levels it is best to use the aspect that gives +1 charge of Avalanche, but later on mana will not be a big issue, so you could replace it with something else.
    That setup of course require targets to fire on, else if you cast on the ground or in the air mana will deplete, because there is no "hit" for the lucky hit. So make sure you have Ice shards enchantment + aspect that adds Ice spikes to Blizard, the aspect that adds Ice spikes to the Ultimate, because even if you don't use the ultimate it greatly increases the blast radius of all the spikes (including Blizard's). You can also use the aspect for Spieks to the Ice Shield as it also increases the chill % for all spikes (including those from Blizard). So basically you just throw some blizards over the group and finish them off with Ice shards, throw Frost nova now and then.
    Still cooldown reduction is a very good to have, but not for regaining mana

    If you are using ice shards or blizzard or a combo of them all you need is lucky hit and avalanche. I don’t use prodigy aspect or the other aspects that give mana back. I don’t have resource cost deduction or generation on my gear. I have max mana rolls though because I use elementalist’s aspect. I think I have one or two mana cost deduction rolls. When your lucky hit chance is high you’ll never run out of mana. I’ve used ice shards for 3 mins straight on a world boss without running out of mana. My max mana is 144.

    You can also get them on your gloves like Frostburn. And they stack. So 10% chance to gain X primary resource on damage. Plus with another affix like 5% chance to gain mana on burning enemies (since everything is burning with the enchantment”

    I've been watching a lot guides on this and this is the best so far. Well done! The problem is everything falls apart with the mention of "once you get your sorcerer well equipped". To get the gear first you have an arguably long grind for those that can't play as much, get lucky, carried, or struggle while not having fun (this is the top problem imo) to even make this a reality. It's a cart before the horse "solution". I'm not ready to give up yet, but in a few weeks it may be a different story. To make matters worse as I continue to level I get weaker as the content gets harder. Going back to say Tier 2 because I can't even kill most bossses on tier 3 makes the grind even longer. The campaign was great! I love the game play. But the more I play the less I have fun. I don't think I'm alone either.

      Prodigy is literally the MVP sorc aspect. Every good sorc build has teleport, frost nova, ice armor. 3 free casts that give you 15-25+ mana each.
      Based on what you are saying you aren't casting Ice Shards above 100 mana, so you are missing the +20-40% crit from elementalist's aspect & 10-20% damage from Edgemaster's aspect (I dont use this one), and 9% damage from elemental dominance (rank 3 core skills)

    There´s a paragon board that gives lucky hit chance... I put a few points in it just to get those nodes. The key is: do everything you can possibly do for mana reduction and regain :)

    • @Jaradis
      @Jaradis 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Personally I think the lucky hit with avalanche is just not worth it. Even if you had 100% lucky hit chance anyway, having a 10% chance to not use mana is only reducing your mana use by 10% on average, which is about the same as having the stat on a single piece, but you are likely giving up a bunch of skill points, paragon points, and affix slots just to get high enough lucky hit.

  • @desolation1821
    @desolation1821 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have a fire mage build. I don't like to just press one button all the time and I like to burn shit down. As one does, obviously. But my build is extremly mana intensive. I'm running an Umbral Ring and Incendiary Aspect (since it procs on fire damage).
    I don't have issues with packs of mobs. The regen during pacs is enough that I can spam out my Meteors, Hydras and Firewalls (yeah that's why it's so expensive) without end. The bigger the pack the more I can spam my spells. And once I run out of mana, Inferno comes to the rescue where all casts are free.
    So far so good for AoE. But Bossfights are a different story. Especielly bossfights with few or no adds at all. To have no downtime, I fill my mana back up with firebolt and hope for Incendiary procs (which come rarly since I only have the dungeon base version of the ring). But my end goal with the build is to replace firebolt with teleport. I tried to do that but with my current gear and stats, I can't sustain the build outside of big AoE situations. My Sorcerer has still a lot of room to grow though. I'm only level 58 and I barely have any mana cost and cooldown reductions on my gear. With better gear come cheaper spells, a better proc chance on incendiary (if it ever drops), higher mana regen (through gear and paragon), and all of that will help me sustain a lot better even during Single Target Bossfights and once I kick out Firebolt again and put Teleport back in.
    The build is a lot of fun. During large AoE fights, everything just burns, 8 Hydra Heads shoot fire bolts, Shattered Meteors fall from the sky, all while a giant firesnake rounds everybody up into a nice clump. With umbral and incendiary, it's almost like having a constant inferno going when fighting big packs.
    I know this build might not be the most optimal. But it gets the job done really well in AoE. I just don't know how to get single target to work. And I need to get that to work for Lilith. But well, I'm still 42 levels out of facing her. We'll see how the build performes in the Endgame.

  • @AeRoSiKTh

    I'd like to add in my 2 cents here.
    Ice builds shouldn't really focus on mana, they should be focused on damage. You have to kill things during the time they are FROZEN (from either Chill, or Frost Nova), which is about 3 seconds.
    You wont run out of mana in those 3 seconds, and If you aren't killing things during those 3 seconds then you need more DAMAGE, NOT more mana.
    This is because of Freeze DRs (diminishing returns). If you didn't kill something during the first freeze then you cant refreeze them until the DR is over (about 8 seconds I think). If you can't freeze something it doesn't matter how much mana you have because you won't be deal anywhere near as much damage as you should (because you don't get all the multipliers that you have vs CC/Frozen targets). So basically it's more important to kill something during the time they're frozen, than to be spamming your abilities.
    Obviously only exception to this is bosses - which can't be frozen. But they CAN be STAGGERED. The stagger is your window to deal insane damage, so all you're doing until stagger is building up the stagger bar, and then you dump everything into them once they're staggered.

    • @mernardi
      @mernardi 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Agreed. All of sorc damage is during CC. Have to kill everything during freeze/sun.
      I didn't like the standalone ice shards builds because of lack of CC uptime, but the blizzard/ice spikes build with ice shards enchant makes speed farming a breeze.
      I couldn't imagine leveling as anything other than arc lash though. Mana is definitely an issue during leveling.

      Staffs will be roughly equivalent to a 1H and focus for pure dmg, but CD reduction can't roll on a staff so it's pretty much required at endgame to use a focus. you also get more flexibility on 2 pieces re stat rolls with 8 vs 4 on a staff.

    No, cooldown reduction is not additive. 11% and 9% does not equal 20%. Lets just take cooldown reduction is 100 for sake of numbers. 11% would then bring it down to 89. Then 9% of 89 is basically 8, so it would then bring it down to 81. It's close to 20% but quite there. Then if you have another item that gives 7% cooldown reduction it would take 7% of 81 which is 5.6 ( I don't know which way Diablo rounds things so let's just say 5). So then the reduction would be 76 now, which is a total of 24% reduction and not the 27% if you took 11+9+7.
    Damage reduction, cooldown reduction, dodge chance, and resistances are multiplicative percentages and not additive ones.
    Crit chance, crit damage, and lucky hit chance are additive. So with these ones you do actually add all the percentages up then apply it to the thing.

      Works well in the middle of an Unstable Currents duration. Also with the lucky hit resetting defensive cooldowns, sometimes you can flameshield twice in a row. Not to mention points in flameshield increase the duration. When combined with ice armor, you can really spam until everything's dead.

    The problem with D4 is that you can't get those benefits at low level since those stats are only available at late game. In addition, you need to be high level to have enough skill points to get the passive skills you mentioned and to lower the CD of the skills. So naturally, the higher level you get, the better resource management is available to you. So what new players can get out of this video is to simply "level up", in other words you're simply stating the obvious. But as a current player, what I get out of this video is that you made a good case to use a focus. I think that alone will solve my mana issue, not to mention, I can use two aspects instead of one for double effect -- I'm ok with that trade off.
