BEST SORC Build In-dept GUIDE Shockuna Lightning Spear - S5 Diablo 4

[@elrictan]

Explains the correct gear selection best out of allll the people trying to mimic. Bravo mate

[@darthSLAP]

Agreed. This is the most concise video there is.

[@SolvingTheMoneyProblem]

My jaw hit the floor seeing the Pit 120 clear.

[@JamieTronic]

I changed to this build yesterday and have all the items in your guide. I have 3 of the glyphs still at Level 1 and I'm still destroying everything......brilliant 👏

[@eri_ck9260]

How is the single target? Can you do über bosses with it?

[@xX_Diablo_v2_Xx]

Yeah this build wrecks all tormented bosses

[@JamieTronic]

@eri_ck9260 well tormented bosses last seconds if that's any indication 😆 it's heavy gear dependent. I was lucky and got a Shako and crafted a GA Tyreal. Also got GA fractured with 3 MW on the conjuration CD. 80% Tal Rasha. I've been very lucky

Do you have discord? I'd really appreciate your help with certain parts of the build ​@@JamieTronic

i have all items too but my skills cooldown are not decreasing like this why?

super fun build, like a swarm of angry wasps. nicktew shouted you out for finding this build and you do explain it better

[@Francis-of8cw]

I have been playing like I have no life this season. Got two mythic uniques and doing pit 100+ with this build. And this guy is doing Pit 120 twice as fast. Whattttt, insane.

[@Coerced]

Yeah the build gets exponentially stronger with the final gear upgrades. It's crazy how even just 10% of a stat can double or triple the damage in the super late endgame

Hey I just want to say thank you for the good work. I'm a rogue enjoyer since the game started and never tried sorc before, thanks to your video I gave it a shot and it's insane! Well done man!

Hey, what's the logic behind using a staff compared to 1 handed + focus? EDIT: Double damage of the Aspect of Splintering Energy?

[@Coerced]

Can you make an in-depth guide on when to get into the pit-pushing version of your build and what exactly it entails? When to swap out Fists of Fate is well explained in your guide but when do I swap out Tal Rasha for a 2nd legendary ring? And what do I prioritise in Tal Rasha to begin with? GA CDR with e.a. 14% aspect or 20% aspect with normal affixes? And should I only swap to legendary pants if I stop using Tal Rasha? Finally, can you take us through the final skill & paragon changes you make for pit-pushing?

[@PrestonSullivan-lu9rm]

Good in depth video brother, loving the build.

[@chietattoos]

disgustingly strong bro i love it

[@lolololalala8225]

Nice, all I need now are the uniques that never drop for me. Great.

[@CalmTempest]

It works even with only a single unique - the amulet Then you need good rolls on everything else. I tried it. Also masterwork the amulet first and get better orb

[@Nbkanvz]

Just farm some sparks and make the items. Easy to get gold in infernal horde activity. If you spend all your aether on money it's big money. Also material chest will take care of master work mats.

[@FootballDad2008]

Over 40+ Zir kills so far and no amulet for me. Running fireball meanwhile. RNG sucks.

[@cypher9000]

@@FootballDad2008I gave two away today alone to random people I played with. I've gotten about 6-7 from some 5-6 rotas. Unfortunaly RNG is RNG. I've spent 4 days now farming ubers and after about 40 runs I have zero. Meanwhile today alone two people got two ubers each in one go. One got 3 in one rota. I'm wondering why am I even still playing.

[@kellyharris4234]

why does your planner have chain lightning and ty for all your effort

[@yibohou8578]

I started with just winterglass and tal rasha, worked well. And easily farmed lv6 for a while with just winterglass,eus's and tal rasha, all MW 4. Then farmed lv7 half MW8 half MW12. Shako is good after got shako and tyrael I can farm lv8 but you can definitely start with just winterglass.

[@thorstenbuchwald8328]

Ty mate the build is insane i like it

[@rlauntz53]

Thank you for this! I've been doing a starter version of this build (no mythics) for a few days and finally beat Lilith for the forst time. Then I got Tyreal's Might (my first Uber/Mythic) like 5 minutes later by beating tormented grigoire. One more day of play (on a fresh Rogue) and I'll have my 4th resplendent spark to craft a shako.

[@TuyenNgocFamily]

You so professional. Best sorc.

[@Cam-wi3tp]

thank you so much for this build, i never thought i'd like playing a sorc over a barb. With this build, highest pit i did was 110 and I can pretty much walk through hordes t8, although the rewards are another matter with the rng at t8

[@titanhood6511]

Best sorc player hands down.

[@silvera-00]

Doin Sorc for the first time. Was doing Chain Lighning until it started to suck at lvl 80. Was considering starting over with another class, Necro was my favorite. Saw a variant of this build. Sorc is now my favorite class. Realized i had the gear on accident. I got a the helm from Helltide boss. I got the neck randomly and didn't look at it again. I had everything except the chest lol. This shit is too fun.

Any thought about fists of fate instead of normal gloves with Storm swell?

[@MrAdmer]

Mekuna, why do you have a wand+offhand in the starter version of this build and a two-handed staff in the final build. Now i only have Tal Rasha's Iridescent Loop and Fractured Winterglass. Is it better for me to use the final version of build? Thank you for your work.

[@ShinetsuYuki]

Staff does a ton more damage

[@MrAdmer]

@@ShinetsuYuki OK, more damage, then why the stuff isn't used in the starter's build?

[@mammaquatia7961]

Probably because the offhand offers cooldown which you need a lot of if you don’t have a shaco

[@Tom-xr4qy]

To have 0 sec cd on spear you need cdr on helm rings and high rolled amulet. The most important stats is chance for cast frozen orb by conjuration andr cdr when orbs expolde. And you need both of them high rolled. Only in this case build is works.

[@Rastawarriorr]

What about flame shield? In guide no upgrades there. But you have

[@renzojosh1299]

can you also create a mid-tier/transitional build with unique but no uber uniques? starter build doesn't really apply to me

[@pookzs]

I’ve seen this same build with ice blades. Helps with the single target dmg problem

[@DankHoneyOil]

@Mekuna You talked about replacing Tibault with standard pants. I suggest instead try out replacing Tyreals might with a standard chest and use the aspect Snowveiled which gives 5s unstoppable and 25% dr from ice armor - so that means perm unstoppable/25% DR + perm tibaults uptime for both the DR and damage. I'm very much enjoying this setup.

[@baldis12]

Tyraels beats that in every way.

[@DankHoneyOil]

@@baldis12 Tyreals only beats it defensively. I very much like being perm unstoppable for starters, and perm uptime on tibaults is also nice. But with ice armor spam, the extra DR from Tyreals isnt meaning too much i dont take any damage in t8's - was able to facetank 2 Butchers at once in a t8 without taking dmg. The one very nice thing about Tyreals though is movespeed. Tyreals has no INT and no HP only DR and resist. We are already overcapped res without trying and dont need the extra DR anyways. The bolts from Tyreals barely do any damage. So no I dont think it "beats this in every way".

[@НикитаШекун]

​@@DankHoneyOilu got movespeed cap from conj mastery, so it doesn't matter, but tyrael gives extra res cap which is very good actually

[@DankHoneyOil]

@@НикитаШекун yeh i just like the movespeed when not in combat. but im not using tyreals in my setup.. again why need res cap when i take damage from nothing with barrier spam?

[@NastyNate888]

Yep I've been doing the same with my frozen orb sorc. Feels like you can stagger bosses a lot better with tempering lucky hit chance to CC and snowveiled is great too. I also run +teleport ranks on the chest for speedfarming.

Tried this build.. ofc I do not have everything.. LS cd is frickin 17 seconds.. but blasting hard af in hordes. Have to spam hard AF frozen orbs to delete CD.

[@chromitem1319]

Whats the point of attackspeed if we arent using frozen orb

[@BeastmanWatchUrMouth]

With that much CDR you should try replacing Frozen Orb with Ice Blade on your bar. Youll be able to spam it and lightning spear non stop, youll get more conjurations which boosts your damage, and more benefits from more ice blades active, more barrier from hitting another CD spell

[@Mekuna7]

I don't cast frozen orb and the limit of active ice blade casted is 3

[@ThomashowardX]

​@@Mekuna7What triggers the frozen orb to fly around?

[@BenaresDarkness]

@@ThomashowardX the fractured winter glass let's your conjurations cast frozen orbs.

[@BeastmanWatchUrMouth]

@@Mekuna7 If you don't cast frozen orb then why is it on your bar? And why wouldn't you want to have 3 casts of Ice Blades up constantly? That's 6 conjurations, giving you a ton more damage.

[@BeastmanWatchUrMouth]

@@Mekuna7 this also opens up the possibility to replace Ice Blades enchantment with Frost Nova enchantment, and have a perma +15% dodge chance if you pick up shimmering frost nova skill point

does unstable currents proc the effects of chain lightning and charged bolts? is that why you put points in them?

[@cloud420diablo]

[@ashkan24ale]

Great guide. Only part failed to mention is the GA and masterwork on CDR is an absolute must (at least of the two). Its impossible to spam lightning spear without having at least ga on 1 cdr and double masterwork on both

In the video you use overflowing energy key passive, but in the build link it's vyr's mastery. Which is better?

[@chadd.7816]

Hi Mekuna, great video! really happy to see you showcase your builds. Question, do we know how splintering's dmg is scaled by crit damage? Is there any consideration to use the invocation glyph since it gives you conjuraion skill crit damage?

[@suthikiatjoradol9583]

What is your suggest to change if i only have shako as uber

[@cypher9000]

So what about non-perfect gear? Not everyone has Shako and Tyrael's. The guide in your video shows ubers and no ubers version but I don't see it in anywhere. Also, is Andariel's or Starless usable for this?

[@kaishibruv]

When is the best time to transition to this build. Is it viable at early t4 with no uniques ?

[@afrothundergfuz6697]

You really need that necklace. And one that rolls a .3 instead of a .1. That's the key to starting the build, because you won't have all the cooldown starting out so the necklace is gonna be your main source of cool down with the .3 seconds taken off of CD when an orb explodes

[@breikio]

Especially with uniques, it would be great if the guides actually included what you aim for with stats. Like is a min roll winterglass fine to make it work? Feels like with all the guides there is the grand canyon between the ubers setup and the starter setup with no clarity what to actually pursue. Great guide nevertheless.

[@dmytrobielyi4026]

@@STiPoweredwell, I get to the 100lvl with my character and found out several things: - for better results you would need to have a necklace that reduces 0.3 sec of the cooldown per ice sphere explosion; - you would need to temper a as many cooldown reduction affixes to your gear as possible. The same concerns the chance to spawn one more Lightning Spear per cast; - in my case I still had to spam ice spheres to increase the reduction for cooldowns or use a crackling energy for an extra reduction. But at some point you start to suffer from a damage deal to you and a smaller damage you deal to enemies;
