When it comes to building your Sorcerer in Diablo 4, one of the toughest decisions you’ll face is choosing the right Enchantments. These Enchantments grant you two additional skills at levels 15 and 30, and the best ones for you will depend on your playstyle and build.
Top Six Enchantments for Sorcerers in Diablo 4
The top six Enchantments for Sorcerers in Diablo 4 are Fire Ball, Firebolt, Ice Shards, Fire Wall, Teleport, and Chain Lightning.
Fire Bolt
The Fire Bolt Enchantment inflicts direct damage from Skills and applies an extra 99 burning damage over eight seconds. It works wonders for the following builds:
- Chain Lightning Sorcerer
- Ice Shards Sorcerer
Fire Bolt adds burn damage to your enemies whenever you use a skill. It’s a fantastic damage over time Enchantment, particularly effective when paired with the Chain Lightning Sorcerer build. It helps chip away at the enemy’s health, sometimes even taking them out before they reach you. It’s perfect for dealing with mobs.
Fireball
The Fireball Enchantment causes enemies to explode in a Fireball dealing 50% of their damage when killed. It’s best suited for the following builds:
- Arc Lash Sorcerer
- Fireball Sorcerer
- Fire Wall Sorcerer
- Chain Lightning Sorcerer
- Meteor Sorcerer
Fireball serves as the go-to Enchantment for most Sorcerer builds because it rewards you with a Fireball every time an enemy dies. If you’re facing hordes of enemies, you can practically set the entire room ablaze. While it may not be as effective against single targets, it excels as an Area of Effect (AoE) Enchantment, making dungeon clearing a breeze.
Fire Wall
The Fire Wall Enchantment has a 5% chance to spawn two Firewalls beneath enemies for three seconds whenever they take burning damage. It’s a great choice for the following builds:
- Fireball Sorcerer
- Fire Wall Sorcerer
I have mixed feelings about the Fire Wall Enchantment. It brings the potential for over 200% more Fire Damage, especially in the end game. However, since the chance of triggering this effect is only 5%, it often feels like a disadvantage. Nevertheless, if you believe in the power of RNG, it can be an excellent option.
Ice Shards
The Ice Shards Enchantment automatically summons and launches Ice Shards towards Frozen enemies. It works wonders for the following builds:
- Ice Shards Sorcerer
- Blizzard Sorcerer
The Ice Shards Enchantment is a must-have for Blizzard and Ice Shard Sorcerer builds. Not only does it increase your overall damage output, but it also deals extra damage to Frozen enemies. It’s perfect for quickly dispatching mobs and boosting your DPS.
Teleport
The Teleport Enchantment replaces Evade with a short-range teleport on a seventeen-second cooldown. It’s a great choice for the following builds:
- Meteor Sorcerer
- Ball Lightning Sorcerer
- Blizzard Sorcerer
The Teleport Enchantment presents an interesting choice between evasion and teleportation. Personally, I find it extremely useful because teleportation offers more survivability options. It allows for quick repositioning, giving you the necessary time to channel abilities or prepare for combat.
Chain Lightning
The Chain Lightning Enchantment automatically triggers Chain Lightning after spending 100 mana. It’s perfect for the following build:
- Chain Lightning Sorcerer
This Enchantment is ideal for Chain Lightning or Arc Lash Sorcerer builds since it grants an extra chain and increases damage every time you spend 100 mana. If you have a fast mana regeneration rate, such as through a mana regen ring, you can consistently activate Chain Lightning.
Bonus: Fire Shield
With the Flame Shield Enchantment, Flame Shield is automatically activated when you take fatal damage. However, it can only occur once every two minutes. Although it lacks offensive abilities like other Enchantments, it can be a lifesaver in critical situations.
If you’re playing in Hardcore mode, this Enchantment is highly recommended, especially in the late game. It could make the difference between your character surviving or meeting their demise.
Although there are several Enchantments available, these are the best and most versatile ones in Diablo 4. Choose wisely and make the most of your Sorcerer’s potential!
