Diablo 4 Sorceress

Burn, freeze, and shock your enemies straight back to the Burning Hells with the Diablo IV Sorceress. The Sorceress is a high-risk, high-reward class that deals excellent elemental damage by casting fire, cold, and lightning spells. They are very fragile, but their spells synergize well with burning, chill, or freeze effects. Sorceresses are best suited for crowd control abilities, especially with their cold spells. Lightning spells are balanced in terms of damage and controlling encounters.

Sorceress D4

The Sorcerer (a.k.a. Sorceress) is a class in Diablo IV. The Sorcerer is described as a "high risk, high reward" style of hero, harnessing potent elemental magic, but being fragile. Their spells are designed around Fire, Cold, and Lightning abilities.

Main Resource: Sorceress main resource is Mana

Class Mechanic: Enchantment System

Sorcerer has a special mechanic of Crackling Energy. Some Lightning spells, with the right talents, leave behind a ball of energy that can be collected (not unlike Health Globe), restoring some Mana (25 by default).

Chill works in a distinct way for Sorcerer: multiple casts of Cold spells on the same target stack the slowdown. Upon reaching 100%, the enemy will be Frozen for the remaining duration.

Fire spells often place the Burning effect on enemies, dealing Damage Over Time and, with the related talents, providing additional effects.

As a Sorcerer, Intelligence increases skill damage, Willpower grants critical chance, and Dexterity hastens mana recovery.

Enchantment

The Sorcerer utilizes an Enchantment system as a unique class mechanic. With this system, Sorcerer skills can be placed into any of the six active skill slots (that every other class also has access to), or three Enchantment slots, for a total of 9 different skills.

If the player places a skill in the Enchantment slot, they can no longer use it as an active skill, but the character instead gains a passive or semi-passive secondary bonus power related to this skill. Known effects include:

  • Replacing Crackling Energy with conjuring Ball Lightnings
  • Periodically casting Meteor on a random nearby foe

Skills that are already passive by nature cannot be placed into Enchantment slots. Enchantment Slots are small but powerful additions to your build. You can slot certain skills for their offensive, defensive, resource, or utility effects. They can bolster your build or extend its functionality.

  • Skills must have at least one Skill Point in them to be used (either from the Skill Tree or through gear).
  • You can use a skill on your action bar and in one Enchantment Slot at the same time.
  • A skill's Ranks, Enhanced and Upgrade choices carry through when placed into an Enchantment slot.
  • Choices can be swapped in and out of the Enchantment Slots at any time.
  • The first slot unlocks at level 15, the second at level 30.
