The Fireball Sorcerer in Diablo 4 can easily shred through virtually any pack of enemies in the game. It excels at clearing, and only really struggles with slowdown or issue against solo bosses. This is because it relies on us spamming Fireball, and watching it bounce against enemies and dealing more and more damage.It’s a fantastic, fun build, with only one real weakness. It doesn’t take a ton of Uniques to function, but there are some that make it safer, such as a few Mythic Uniques. You could try and run this without the required Unique, Gloves of the Illuminator, but I wouldn’t. It’s what makes your Fireballs bounce and deal all that fun, extra damage.How does the Fireball Sorcerer build work in Diablo 4?Fireball Sorcerer is an incredibly easy build to understand in Diablo 4, that’s for sure. In the current Season, Season 10, we technically reduce our mana to 0, through one of the Chaos Perks, but that’s not a big deal at all. We combine this with Inferno’s Supreme Inferno talent, to make it so while Inferno is active, our fire spells cost 0 mana and deal 50% more damage. That makes our rotation incredibly simple:It all revolves around a simple Fireball (Image via Blizzard Entertainment)Ideal RotationFrost Nova enemy packs you run intoCast InfernoSpam FireballYou also want Ice Armor on at all times, and use Teleport for movement. You also have Flame Shield in case things get dicey. But yes, this Fireball Sorcerer’s rotation is remarkably easy. There’s no tricky weaving or planning. Nope, we just obliterate things with fire. Lots of fire.Your hotbar should have the following abilitiesFrost NovaTeleportIce ArmorFlame ShieldFireballInfernoIdeal talents and Enchantments for a Fireball Sorcerer in Diablo 4Below, you’ll see all of the talents you need for a Fireball Sorcerer in Diablo 4. We sacrfice points in some of our talents, to instead use them on passive talents, which has become more common in D4 as the seasons have gone on. We just need access to powers like Ice Armor and Flame Shield; no sense in the full five points.TalentsFire Bolt x2Fireball x5 (Greater)Flame ShieldTeleport x5 (Shimmering)Ice Armor (Mystical)Frost Nova x2 (Mystical)Glass Cannon x3Align the Elements x3Protection x3Devouring Blaze x3Inner Flames x1Static Discharge x3Inferno x5 (Supreme)Permafrost x3Hoarfrost x3Icy Touch x3Elemental Synergies x3Fiery Surge x1Soulfire x3Evocation x3Coursing Currents x1Convulsions x3Esu's FerocityAs for your Enchantments, you’ll want to pick up Fireball first, for the increased damage, and explosions upon killing an enemy. There’s so much pure, extra damage here. You also want Teleport enchantment, to replace Evade with Teleport. It doesn’t grant Unstoppable, but it does give you Damage Reduction.What Chaos Perks should you pick in Season 10 of Diablo 4?In Season 10, we have Chaos Perks that wildly increase our powers, alongside the great Chaos Armor. The picks we’ve gone with are dangerous in that they rely on you having less than normal HP, but in exchange, you get a lot of extra damage.Power Siphon doubles damage, but gives us 0 mana, which is where Inferno comes in. Advanced Techniques also increases damage and cost, but since we’re casting for free, it’s not an issue. Marred Guard keeps us at a max of 50% health, so we get plenty out of A Beast Cornered.Unique Chaos Power: A Beast CorneredBase Chaos Perks: Marred Guard, Advanced Techniques, Power SiphonWho is the best Mercenary for a Fireball Sorcerer build in Diablo 4?Provided you have the Vessel of Hatred expansion, you can go pick up a pair of Mercenaries to help you. One is the primary, and the other shows up as a support in certain situations. For this Fireball Sorcerer build in Diablo 4, we want Subo Primary, Raheir Secondary.I just like Subo for his ability to see all enemies and useful materials on a map, but he also enhances your damage nicely with Open Fire. With Raheir, we use Bastion when we become Injured to get the most out of it.Subo talentsWire TrapPiercing ArrowsCover FireOpening FireIdeal equipment, Legendary Aspects, and TempersGear SlotTempering AffixesIdeal StatsLegendary AspectHead (Harlequin Crest)N/ACooldown Reduction, Maximum Life, Maximum Resource, ArmorN/AChest (Shroud of False Death)N/AAll Stats, Maximum Life, Damage on Next Attack After Entering Stealth, Resource GenerationN/AGloves (Gloves of the Illuminator)N/AUnique Effect, Ranks to Fireball, Fireball Attack Speed, Mana when a Fireball Explodes, Crit ChanceN/APants (Fists of Fate)N/AAttack Speed, Crit Strike Chance, Lucky Hit Chance, Chance to Make Enemies Vulnerable for 3s, Unique EffectN/ABootsEvade Cooldown, Ranks to Static DischargeIntelligence, Max Life, ArmorOrange HeraldAmulet #1Inferno Cooldown Reduction, Pyromancy Critical Strike DamageRanks to Devouring Blaze, Intelligence, Ranks to Glass Cannon, Ranks to Permafrost, Ranks to Inner FlamesFlash FireRing #1 (Ring of Starless Skies)N/ARanks to Core Skills, Attack Speed, Crit STrike Chance, Lucky Hit Chance, Unique EffectN/ARing #2 (Tal Rasha's Iridescent Loop)N/AUnique Effect, Cooldown Reduction, Non-Physical Damage, Ranks to Potent Warding, Lucky Hit ChanceN/AWeapon (Staff of Endless Rage)N/AUnique Effect, Ranks to Fireball, Intelligence, Chance for Fireball Projectiles to Cast Twice, Fireball Projectile SpeedN/AThis is a build that, while it doesn’t need a ton of things, there are plenty of powerful pieces of equipment that definitely make it better. Specifically, there are three Mythic Uniques and 5 Uniques that you should hunt down. Gloves of the Illuminator however, are a required item. This is not a build reliant on Chaos Armor, but there’s one piece you should try for, and that’s Fists of Fate.Harlequin CrestShroud of False DeathStaff of Endless RageGloves of the IlluminatorFists of Fate (Chaos Armor)Ring of Starless SkiesTal Rasha’s Iridescent LoopParagon Boards for Fireball Sorcerer in Diablo 4Below you’ll find the ideal Paragon Boards for a Fireball Sorcerer in Diablo 4.
