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 not a huge fan of how syngergies are implemented in the game, they feel rather contrived.

    I’d prefer more natural synergies like give me a huge meteor that is hard to aim, but if I combine it with a frost nova or trap spell that keeps mobs in place, I now have a great combo. Or a frozen orb spraying every mob with water and then getting extra damage with chain lightning because all the mobs are now wet.

    Stuff you can look at and understand, not some debuffs you have to look up in a spells description or that only appear if you combine specific spells with rare aspects.
