Diablo 4 - New INSANE Sorcerer Levelling Build - Season 1 FAST 1 to 50 - Skills + Malignant hearts

Hello and welcome back to a new video. So

today I want to show you my ultimate level

1 to 50 sorcerer build for the new season,

Season of the Malignant. So because it's a

new season, like everyone else, I also had

to start a brand new character and I had

to come up with a new build to level up as

quickly as possible and get through those

first 50 levels of the game, which are

pretty boring. The game doesn't really get

very exciting or fun until above 60 or 70,

but that's okay. We're gonna experiment

with a new class, a new build, and new

playstyles, and also try out the Malignant

Hearts and see what we can do with the

different hearts and use that with a build

and see what kind of damage we can pull

off after the new patch. So hopefully you

enjoy my build and we can quickly level

over to above level 50 and get back to

doing World Tier 3 and 4 Nightmare

Dungeons, which is where I find the game

to be most enjoyable. Okay, so here are

the talents. We're going to get Spark as

our basic skill. I really like Spark over

the other ones because it spreads out to

the other enemies and also does like a

very nice AoE effect. We're going to max

out Spark and also get Enhanced Spark and

Flickering Spark. And onto the next part,

we're going to get Chain Lightning. I

really like to call this build kind of

like a hybrid between lightning and frost

attacks. So we're going to use Spark to

build up our momentum and then use Chain

Lightning as our core skill. I think Chain

Lightning is really cool because it

bounces backwards and forwards between

different enemies, critting them as well.

And we're going to get Enhanced Chain

Lightning and also Destructive Chain

Lightning. And then for the defensive

skills, we want to max out Ice Armor And

we're also going to get Enhanced Ice Armor

and Mystical Ice Armor to give ourselves a

shield and some defensive capabilities.

And we're also going to get Frost Nova.

Frost Nova is really fun because it

basically just freezes everything all

around you, gives you a few seconds where

you stun them, and also bonus damage to

them whilst they're frozen because Frost

Nova is going to make them vulnerable.

Frost— it says Frost Nova makes enemies

vulnerable for 4 seconds, increased to 6

seconds against bosses. And that's really

good because we're going to be using an

aspect that buffs our damage against

vulnerable enemies, which I'll show you

later. And we're going to max it out and

get Enhanced Frost Nova and also Mystical

Frost Nova. Now surprisingly, we're not

going to get anything in the Conjuration

skills because they all seem kind of

rubbish. I tried Lightning Spear, it just

bounces around doing crap damage, and Ice

Blades did crap damage as well. So I

skipped everything in this tree and I went

straight to Mastery skills where I got a

few of these random points here to

increase my damage. So we got Static

Discharge. Critical strikes with shock

skills have up to 15% chance to form a

Crackling Energy. I really like Crackling

Energy because you go around, you pick it

up, and it basically just does automatic

damage to anything nearby to you. And we

also get Shocking Impact. Every time you

stun an enemy, you deal 791 lightning

damage to them, and we will be stunning

the enemy quite often. And we skipped

everything else in here, and then next we

get our ultimate skill. We get Unstable

Currents. And basically this just gives

you like an attack speed buff and also

increases some of your damage. So when

Unstable Currents is active, whenever you

cast a shock skill, a random core,

conjuration, or mastery— I really like

Unstable Currents because whenever you

cast a shock skill, you get a random core,

conjuration, or mastery shock skill also

getting cast as well. And I also got Prime

Unstable Currents to increase my attack

speed by 25%. Supreme Unstable Currents so

that while Unstable Currents is active,

Crackling Energy continually pulses and

consumes no charges. So that's really good

as well. And then we also max out more

shocking and lightning skills with

Coursing Currents, Conduction, and

Convulsions. This is just going to

slightly increase your critical strike

chance, increase your movement speed by a

bit, and also give your shock skills a

chance of stunning the enemies for 3

seconds. By 9%. And we also got Shatter as

our key passive. This is cool because

after we cast Frost Nova and freeze them

using Frost Nova, then they'll shatter and

do like 25% of the damage you dealt to

them whilst they were frozen to everything

around it. And I forgot to mention, we

also pick up Teleport. We put a few points

into there just so we have some crowd

control removing ability and we can escape

getting stunned and stuff like that. And

as for the aspects on my head, I have Heal

for 5 life per second for each close enemy

up to 66. That would give us some

self-healing. And this one I really like:

when you take direct damage, it has a 2%

chance to reset the cooldown of one of

your defensive skills. So imagine a load

of mobs around you bashing you. That's

like 2% chance on each hit to reset either

your Frost Nova or your shield or any

other defensive spells you might have. So

it actually triggers quite a lot, and I

find myself using either Frost Nova or my

shields multiple times during one

engagement. And on the hands, we have deal

11% increased damage to vulnerable enemies

whilst we have the barrier active. So

imagine we do a Frost Nova and we make

them vulnerable, then we use an Ice Armor,

we've got a barrier that gives us 11%

extra damage. And then on our legs, we

have damaging an enemy elite gives you the

barrier for 1,100 damage. That's also very

good for absorbing damage and makes you

more survivable. And on our boots, we have

a— yeah, when there are at least 5 close

enemies, we can stun them for 2 seconds,

and this only happens every 20 seconds.

So it's basically an AoE stun every 20

seconds for 2 seconds. Very useful. Maybe

you can get the aspects that increases

your damage against stunned enemies.

That'll do very well as well. In this

build, but we kind of chose other things.

Now on our staff, we have deal 50% more

damage to immobilized, stunned, or frozen

enemies. So when they get stunned or when

they get frozen over, we'll do an extra

50% more damage to them. And on our

necklace, we have deal 24% increased

damage whilst you have a barrier active.

So this in combination with gloves,

that's like +35% increased damage whilst

we have a barrier active. Very good.

Because we're going to have the barrier

from the legs and also the barrier from

Ice Armor. And for the Malignant Heart on

our amulet, we're going to have a Devious

Heart that deals 1950 fire damage to

surrounding enemies whenever a crowd

control effect is removed from you. And

this is really nice because when you're

fighting enemies and you trigger your

shield like that, it will trigger that

fire blast. And also when you teleport

like that, well, sometimes It depends if

you're crowd controlled or not. If you're

slightly dazed or stunned and you teleport

out of the stun or the daze, you will

trigger the fire thing. It's just in this

example I'm not actually being crowd

controlled. So here you can see we're

being attacked and we can teleport and it

will trigger the Fire Blaze fire AoE

attack from that Malignant Heart. So it's

like some nice extra AoE when you escape

crowd control, either by using your shield

like that or teleporting. So as for the

playstyle, basically you want to run in

and do a Frost Nova and then spam Chain

Lightning on them. And when they're frozen

over, they'll be vulnerable and you'll do

bonus damage to them. Plus with the

aspects, you'll be doing an extra 50%

damage against them, and you can do an

extra 35% damage if you have your barrier

or your frozen shield, Ice Shield,

equipped as well. So it's a pretty fun

build to play because there's always going

to be so much going on on the screen.

You'll go in, you'll Frost over there and

freeze them. You might even do like an AOE

stun every 20 seconds, and then you just

see like loads of lightning flying around

all over the place, and the crackling orbs

will drop, and when you pick them up,

they'll do AOE damage to everything around

you as well. So you basically look like a

really cool Emperor Palpatine shooting off

electric sparks and lightning shooting all

over the place, and also freezing them

with ice. It's a pretty fun build to play.

We're not going to do any fire or

pyromancy kind of well. So if you're into

fire, then this build's probably not going

to be for you. But I really find that the

lightning AOE and seeing all the whizzing

spells flying all over the place really

mops up all of the enemies around you very

quickly and efficiently.
