Diablo 4 - Ice Shards Sorcerer Lv 62 Build Guide (MANA STACKING)
Diablo 4 - Ice Shards Sorcerer Lv 62 Build Guide.
With this build all tier 3 content is easy and it is good enough to clear Level 70 capstone dungeon at char level 62. I didn't find any good gear with mana cost reduction so I went with increasing my mana pool - mana stacking.
If you have a higher mana cost reduction, you will need less mana stacking.
After I cleared the capstone dungeon, I switched to tier 4 and continue farming lv 73 dungeons. Atm, my char is lv 67.
You can get a mana cost reduction on your boots, amulet, and offhand.
Maximum mana mod you can get on helmet and rings. You can get + maximum mana on the paragon board too. Besides using 1 point on the skill tree to unlock Elemental Dominance, it is too expensive to spend passives for just +3 mana.
The goal is to keep mana at or above 100 to get the most benefit from our aspect: Core or Mastery Skills cast at or above 100 Mana gain a 20-40% increased Critical Strike Chance.
Most important mods/stats:
Mana Cost Reduction
Maximum mana
Lucky hit chance
Damage reduction
Cooldown Reduction
Crit chance (goal is to have 100% crit when your mana is at or above 100)
Crit damage
Attack speed (to increase our core skill attack speed, we don't need Basic Skill Attack Speed)
Ranks of Ice Shards on gloves
Ranks of All Defensive Skills on an amulet
Ranks of Frost Nova on boots, movement speed on boots/amulet
Maximum Life
sockets
core skill damage, Damage to Burning Enemies, Damage to Distant Enemies
