Diablo 4: Best Server Slam Builds

As the Server Slam for Diablo 4 continues through the weekend, we’re seeing a bit more of what each class can do. While this open beta is built for stress testing the game’s servers, it gives us more time with the classes. Each class has something different and can impact various parts of your experience. If you play with a lighter character such as the Sorcerer, you may have a different time than someone playing a Barbarian. This is why experimenting in Diablo 4 is paramount. There will be a lot going on during the Server Slam, read this guide for the best builds in Diablo 4 you can try this weekend.

Best Server Slam builds in Diablo 4

Fire Sorcerer build

• Flickering Firebolt – As you launch flaming bolts at enemies, you’ll be stacking fire damage on them over time. With the upgrade, you get plus 2 mana for each enemy you hit with the Firebolt
• Greater Fireball – Throwing fireballs cause massive AoE damage, upgrading it to this tier adds ten percent more damage directly to the enemy.
• Mystical Flame Shield – When this activates, you’ll lose all your negative buffs (speed, attacks) you’ll also be immune to attacks as well. Additionally, you’ll burn surrounding enemies. However, this only lasts about 2 seconds. Upgrading to Mystical Flame Shield makes using your spells cheaper, at twenty-five percent less while the shield is active.
• Enhanced Hydra – This summons a three-headed dragon that shoots out fire. When it’s upgraded to the enhanced tier, you get one more head. However, you must have at least eighty or above in health for this to happen.
