This build is a great one for storming through Sanctuary and slaying Lilith’s minions, but once you enter the endgame, it may be time for a build with more longevity.

Legendary Aspect

While there are many great Legendary Aspects in the Codex of Power that will help this build, there are three in particular that you need to prioritize for this build. Here’s what they are and where to find them:

  • Aspect of Control – (Sunken Library, Kehjistan)
  • Aspect of Disobedience – (Halls of the Damned, Kehjistan)
  • Prodigy’s Aspect (Witchwater, Hawezar)
  • Storm Swell Aspect (Onyx Hold, Dry Steppes)

Each one will buff your damage in various ways and make your build even more deadly.

We’d recommend not imprinting these Aspects on your weapons, as you’re likely to replace these many times on your Leveling journey. Instead, add offensive Aspects to your jewelry, this way, it can continue to serve you well into endgame.

Best Sorcerer endgame build

Once you reach level 50, have defeated Lilith, and have seen the ending of Diablo 4, your leveling build may no longer be sufficient, instead, you’ll need an endgame build. This is your choice of course, all builds will work, but based on the current meta, the below Sorcerer endgame build is the best in Season 4.

Remember, this is an endgame build, so it assumes you’ve already unlocked all your stat and Renown points. If not, then follow it like a leveling build until you have and make the necessary respecs to get all the below skills.

We’d recommend finding your favorite skills and investing heavily in them so that you’re familiar with your skills and can do more damage early on.

Don’t forget to take advantage of the buffs from other elements, even if you focus on a build that makes primary use of one or two different ones.
