How to play the Chain Lightning build in Diablo 4

The key of the Chain Lightning Sorcerer is to focus on casting Chain Lightning and form Crackling Energy Orbs to refresh your Mana pool. Both the Invigorating Conduit and Overflow Energy will help manage Mana efficiently and reduce cooldowns.

The main objective of the Chain Lightning Sorcerer rotation is to build extra Crit chance through Spark while being able to reposition through Teleport. Using Ice Armor will help you protect yourself against groups of enemies, and casting Frost Nova will let you freeze them to strike them down with Unstable Currents.

Here’s how the Chain Lightning Sorcerer rotation is:

Spark > Chain Lightning > Frost Nova > Ice Armor > Teleport > Unstable Currents

  • Ice Armor > Blizzard > Flame Shield> (Teleport to the middle of the crowd > Frost Nova to make enemies Vulnerable> Deep Freeze

The Flame Shield skill has to be your go-to ability if your maneuvers go wrong. Casting it will let you Crowd Control a group of enemies, and swiftly escape if you need it.
