Personally, for levels before 50, I had been using an admittedly unresearched, master-of-none build with:

  1. Frost Nova
  2. Hydra
  3. Inferno
  4. Arc Lash
  5. Chain Lightning
  6. Teleport

Enchantments:

  1. Fireball
  2. Blizzard, cuz why not

It was a ton of fun vacuuming up mobs, freezing them, and then using chain lightning to make them explode like little grenades right on top of each other, but it was admittedly VERY weak against single bosses.

After I finished the campaign, I switched to a much more min-maxed Ice Shards lucky hit build that’s just been melting enemies like crazy:

  1. Teleport
  2. Frost Nova
  3. Flame Shield
  4. Deep Freeze
  5. Frost Bolt
  6. Ice Shards

Enchantments:

  1. Fireball
  2. Ice Shards

I don’t have all the gear yet to avoid mana depletion and my barriers need work but its getting there.

Anyways, I just wanted to ask what you guys were doing with your Sorc builds to see what others have been enjoying :)

    Interesting! I’m new to Diablo, but I enjoyed exploring and trying out different builds while doing the campaign. I don’t think that anything was remotely “efficient”, but it was good fun. Currently, I’ve been swapping over to an arc lash build from some website, and it’s also been enjoyable. All of a sudden I can dish out so much damage! While tinkering with my own builds I had completely missed out on enchantments, and that was a real eye-opener. So much damage just from those extra enchantments.
