Diablo 4 Season 2 Firewall Sorcerer Leveling Build Guide
For leveling, you will want to go with a Firewall Sorcerer leveling build for Diablo 4 Season 2. With this build, Sorcerers are able to utilize the massive clear potential of Firewall mixed with Inferno to literally melt everything. This build has the potential to do some insane AoE and can clear pretty much anything with ease while leveling. You will start off using Arc Lash, but that will quickly transition into Firewall.
In the end, you’ll use Firewall and Inferno primarily, with Frost Nova for Crowd Control and Teleport for mobility. Both Ice Armor and Flame Shield will give you all the survivability you need while leveling, while you do massive AoE damage with Firewall.
