This build is a great one for storming through Sanctuary and slaying Lilith’s minions, but once you enter the endgame, it may be time for a build with more longevity.

Legendary Aspect

While there are many great Legendary Aspects in the Codex of Power that will help this build, there are three in particular that you need to prioritize for this build. Here’s what they are and where to find them:

• Offensive Aspect of Control – (Sunken Library, Kehjistan)
• Defensive Aspect of Disobedience – (Halls of the Damned, Kehjistan)
• Prodigy’s Resource Aspect (Witchwater, Hawezar)

Each one will essentially buff your damage in various ways and make your build even more deadly.

We’d recommend not imprinting these Aspects on your weapons, as you’re likely to replace these many times on your Leveling journey. Instead, add offensive Aspects to your jewelry, this way, it can continue to serve you well into endgame.

Vampire Powers

Select the following Vampire Powers for this build:

• Ravenous (Minor)
• Flowing Veins (Major)
• Anticipation (Minor)
• Metamorphosis (Major)
• Prey on the Weak (Minor)

Best Sorcerer endgame build

Once you reach level 50, have defeated Lilith, and have seen the ending of Diablo 4, your leveling build may no longer be sufficient, instead, you’ll need an endgame build. This is your choice of course, all builds will work, but based on the current meta, the below Sorcerer endgame build is the best in Season 2.

Remember, this is an endgame build, so it assumes you’ve already unlocked all your stat and Renown points. If not, then follow it like a leveling build until you have and make the necessary respecs to get all the below skills.

Here’s the best endgame Sorcerer build in Diablo 4 Season 2 currently, the Blizzard Sorcerer, and the skills needed to craft it.

Skills

Blizzard

Fire Bolt

Teleport

Frost Nova

Ice Armor

Flame Shield

Deep Freeze

Cold Front

We’d recommend using Ice Shards and Teleport for your Enchantment Slots for this build.

There’s a lot of diversity in the Sorcerer class in Season 2, so if you’re not feeling the above build, feel free to tweak it to your preference, by maybe adding some other elemental spells or passives to boost your durability.

We’d recommend finding your favorite skills and investing heavily in them so that you’re familiar with your skills and can do more damage early on.

Don’t forget to take advantage of the buffs from other elements, even if you focus on a build that makes primary use of one or two different ones.
