Diablo 4 - A Huge Problem for Sorcerer Build Making - 'Cast' vs Procs
I've been brooding on this for a while now, and finally decided to make a video for what I think are the main problems with sorcerer build making and creativity, caused by tooltip issues or bugs. Please share this with blizzard and try to bring visibility to these problems, so we can play something other than ball lightning.
00:00 Introduction to the problems
01:18 It is not clear what constitutes casting a skill
01:40 Lightning Spear - lack of synergy
02:20 Unstable current inconsistencies
02:50 But Static surge works with everything?
03:20 Staff of Liam Neeson and Charged Bolts inconsistent
03:57 Ball lightning inconsistencies
04:16 Impossible behavior for Destructive Ice shards Enchantment
04:56 Elementalist's Aspect and Elemental Dominance Passive inconsistent
05:32 Summoned Hydra burning damage has 0% lucky hit
05:55 How to Fix Sorcerer Builds
Mostly the full transcript for searchability: https://pastebin.com/yXDbnu4X
Things mentioned in the video:
Lightning spear
Unstable currents, stable aspect, overwhelming currents aspect
Legendary aspects
Staff of Lam Esen
Static Surge
Ball lightning
Destructive and greater Ice Shards upgrades and enchantment
hydra burning lucky hit
Elementalist’s aspect and Elemental dominance
Please comment if there are any other bugs or interactions that you think should work, or tooltips that are unclear. I am starting the new Path of Exile league tomorrow, so am probably done with Abattoir for Zir for now. Hopefully Sorcerer will be fixed by season 3 or 4. I could make a whole another video on the problems with rogue, but maybe later.
Thanks
