Diablo 4: Best Sorcerer build for The Gauntlet
When I found out that one of the best Sorcerer builds in Diablo 4 succeeds in its attempt to emulate what a Barbarian or even a Druid can do, then I knew that the Arc Lash Sorcerer build was the build for me, as it fits my playstyle perfectly. It also happens to be perfect for The Gauntlet.
With the use of the Arc Lash skill – which, surprise, is our main source of damage – you will get to deal damage and stun your enemies you can later destroy with your Ice Blades and Lightning Spear skills. Since you will face the best of the demonic army in The Gauntlet, you will need to pair your powerful skills with the best Sorcerer Uber Uniques: Godslayer Crown, Harlequin Crest, Melted Heart of Selig, or Tal Rasha’s Iridescent Loop, among others.
