Welcome back to another in-depth Diablo 4 guide, where we'll be exploring what is arguably the strongest and fastest Sorcerer build for Season 7 - the Lightning Spear build. This is an end-game build, but I'll also touch on a starter version and variations for different content.

Overview.

Best for:Speed farming, general content, and general gameplay efficiency, not specifically for pit pushing where Fire Shatter excels.Core mechanic:Splintering Energy, which increases damage when you crit with Lightning Spear.

Gear Requirements

Essential items:

Shako: For cooldown reduction to allow constant teleportation and Lightning Spear spam.Tal Rasha's Ring: Easily obtainable and essential to the build.Ring of Starless Sky: Essential for mana management.

Gear stats to focus on:

Cooldown reduction: Essential for speed and damage output.Critical strike damage: To maximise the benefits of Splintering Energy.Mana regeneration: From items such as the Primal Bond and certain amulets.

Skill Rotation

Basic: Use Unstable Currents followed by Ball Lightning to generate more Lightning Spears. Rotation: Unstable Currents > Ball Lightning (hold to maintain) > Lightning Spear on cooldown > Ice Blades for extra attack speed when needed.

Teleportation & Mana Management

Teleport Engine: Replaces Dodge with Teleport, allowing constant movement with certain boots and reducing Dodge cooldown by 1.5 seconds per attack.Mana: Managed by the Primordial Bond (increases mana regeneration for each active summon) and the collection of Crackling Energy.

Detailed Gear Breakdown

Helm (Shako): Triple mastery with a cooldown.Chest (Rayment/Shroud): Rayment for dragging enemies if you have good equipment, Shroud for speed if you lack toughness.Gloves: Focus on intelligence and critical strike damage.Trousers (Tyrael's Might): All damage and toughness stats.Boots: Intelligence, max health, armour; consider mana per second when fighting.Weapon: Critical strike damage, intelligence, max health; temper for double damage lightning spear.Amulet: Primordial Binding in GA for damage and mana, with dodge cooldown reduction.Rings: Cooldown on Tal Rasha's, attack speed and non-physical damage on Starless Sky.

Skill Tree & Enchantments

Key Skills: Max Lightning Spear for damage scaling with Splintering Energy.Teleport for mobility with reduced cooldowns.Ball Lightning as a generator for more Lightning Spears.Enchantments: Use Lightning Spear, Ice Blades and others for additional buffs.Witchcraft Powers:Panado: Gathers enemies and increases the effectiveness of AOEs.

Specialisations & Paragon Tablets

Specialisations: Aura of Siphoning for increased critical strike damage.Paragon: Focus on boards such as Control for speed farming, Searing Strikes for damage, and Elemental Summoner for cooldown reduction.

Gems, Elixirs and Mercenaries

Gems: Boost Witchcraft power and damage.Elixirs: Advantage two for attack speed cap.Mercenaries: Use Subo for more critical strike damage.

Pit Pushing Variation

Switch to: Payback for enemy grouping, adjust enchantments for more damage, and consider different aspects of cooldown management.
