Diablo 4: Arc Lash Sorcerer Endgame Guide from crystalsnow's blog

Welcome to the Arc Lash Sorcerer Endgame Build Guide. This build dishes out incredibly high damage also it does that by spamming an art that you unlock at level 2 - Arc Lash. Being a melee construct it might not be the simplest build for conquering high-tier Nightmare Dungeons however with smart using Frost Nova and Flame Shield your survivability is effectively infinite, therefore the sky is the limit.

The build deals damage by attacking extremely fast with Arc Lash, producing plenty of Unstable Currents and Ball Lightning Enchantment procs. Since a large part of our damage originates from Lucky Hit procs, it naturally grows higher the greater enemies we fight. But even against Bosses, the harm is more than fine, as long as they don't constantly exhaust Ball Lightnings.

With all 4 Defensive Skills on our bar and additional Cooldown Reduction from Glinting Arc Lash, this build is all about as tanky as a Sorcerer could get. Still, moving into melee range in high-tier Nightmare Dungeons is difficult and you will want to use your abilities cautiously.

The build doesn't have any specific Legendary Aspects in the future online. Each one of them supplies a small bonus and passing up on one or two isn't gonna break the build. Rather than Aspects, this build is extremely hungry for stats. You need a great deal of Cooldown Reduction, Attack Speed, and Critical Strike Chance to create everything that falls under place. Because of that you simply have to modify your build and play a weaker version before you get each one of these stats.

In this informative guide, we educate you on all you have to know to develop from Level 50 Crook having a tiny lightning whip right into a Level 100 Avatar of Elemental Destruction whose mere presence instantly disintegrates all enemies. Let's dive into it!

Skills

Arc Lash

Arc Lash is our main skill, it deals decent damage by itself but that's not the key reason we use it. Arc Lash has an extremely fast animation and hits twice on Crits, which is ideal for proccing various Lucky Hit effects, mainly Ball Lightning and Meteor Enchantments. On top of that the Cooldown Reduction from Glinting Arc Lash is completely invaluable for any build where almost every other skill includes a cooldown.

Skill Progression

With this build, you have several distinct points in your journey from fresh level 50 to completely maxed and optimized level 100:

You begin with your Critical Strike Chance, Attack Speed, and Cooldown Reduction being too low to create Lucky Hit effects work. So instead you simply play Vyr's Mastery and employ Fireball Enchantment.

When you receive around 30% CDR, 30% CSC, plus some Attack Speed, you may make a change to Ball Lightning Enchantment. Remove points from Teleport, Icy Veil, and Shocking Impact. Use them to obtain Wizard's Ball Lightning, Supreme Unstable Currents, Precision Magic, and max out Static Discharge.

At around level 70, when you begin picking up Burning-related nodes alongside Burning Instinct Socket, you need to change to Fire Bolt Enchantment. Use 5 points from Fireball to obtain Fire Bolt, Inner Flames, and 3x Devouring Blaze.

Finally, whenever you optimize your stats even more (50% CSC, 43% CDR), you can remove points from Static Discharge and Precision Magic to obtain Hoarfrost and much more ranks in Ball Lightning. If you have anything that gives you ranks in Ice Armor, move that could indicate Ball Lightning too.
