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 :)

Bookmarking this since I wanna try some new builds myself. I’ve mostly been running a tanky kinda build. I’m running HC-mode so gotta be careful.

You got more balls than me. The idea of losing my char permanently frightens me haha. What's your current build?

Honestly can’t rattle it off off the top of my head. But it uses anything and everything to give me damage reduction and make me harder to kill haha. Been a few days since I’ve been on. Need to grind some altars and get through other post-campaign content.

Interesting! I'm new to Diablo, but I enjoyed exploring and trying out different builds while doing the campaign. I don't think that anything was remotely "efficient", but it was good fun. Currently, I've been swapping over to an arc lash build from some website, and it's also been enjoyable. All of a sudden I can dish out so much damage! While tinkering with my own builds I had completely missed out on enchantments, and that was a real eye-opener. So much damage just from those extra enchantments.

I've been enjoying a Ice Shard build while completing the campaign. I find it fun to train them into a big group freeze them then teleport out. Then come the Damage haha
