We mentioned that the Diablo 4 Firewall Sorcerer build scales excellently throughout the levelling process of Diablo 4, and this remains the same in the endgame – meaning that you don’t need to change anything from the active and passive skills.
At this point in the game, it’s all about marginal improvements by finding increasingly more powerful items that provide better buffs to your character and by placing Paragon points into the board for incremental increases to your character’s stats.
This remains true in Season 2 as well, making this build perfect if you want to take on all of the toughest challenges the game offers within its new content.
That’s all for our comprehensive breakdown of the best Sorcerer build in Diablo 4, and now you know the skills, stats and gems vital for levelling and endgame content in the current meta.
