Personally, for levels before 50, I had been using an admittedly unresearched, master-of-none build with:

  1. Frost Nova
  2. Hydra
  3. Inferno
  4. Arc Lash
  5. Chain Lightning
  6. Teleport

Enchantments:

  1. Fireball
  2. Blizzard, cuz why not

It was a ton of fun vacuuming up mobs, freezing them, and then using chain lightning to make them explode like little grenades right on top of each other, but it was admittedly VERY weak against single bosses.

After I finished the campaign, I switched to a much more min-maxed Ice Shards lucky hit build that's just been melting enemies like crazy:

  1. Teleport
  2. Frost Nova
  3. Flame Shield
  4. Deep Freeze
  5. Frost Bolt
  6. Ice Shards

Enchantments:

  1. Fireball
  2. Ice Shards

I don't have all the gear yet to avoid mana depletion and my barriers need work but its getting there.

Anyways, I just wanted to ask what you guys were doing with your Sorc builds to see what others have been enjoying :)

I've been enjoying a Ice Shard build while completing the campaign. I find it fun to train them into a big group freeze them then teleport out. Then come the Damage haha

Ice shards is pretty OP once you get enough lucky hit and ice shard piercing. I've been melting level 72 guys no problem. I am pretty squishy tho, so I am working towards some barriers and also mana regen in the hopes that I can take out guys faster than they can take out me.
