Best build for leveling to 100?

Sorcerer
1

I have never played a Sorc before, but I’d like to level one to 100 for the sake of finally having one of each class at max level.

Is one build considered easier than another just for leveling?

i would recommend hydra as your companion.
just summon two of them as turret.

as you reaching level 15 and able to unlock 1 enchantment slot, put fireball in. let the 50% explosion from the enemy helps you to clear the group. you will be amazed on this enchantment’s chain reaction.

good luck.

Thanks! Are there aspects/uniques that improve the hydra?

I have a few Ubers to help with the process - Shako or Andy’s, Tyreal’s and Selig’s. Like I mentioned, my only goal is to get one to level 100.

I levelled with Incinerate this season since they helped it out. It was the easiest and quickest levelling I have ever experienced on sorc. Throw the FlameThrower aspect on a staff, conflagration on amulet and just set the world on fire.

if you can get glacial aspect on ammy, that’s all you really need to get a blizzard build going for super fast leveling.

Your best choices are Incinerate, Chain Lightning, and Blizzard with Glacial Aspect (if no Glacial absolutely do not go Blizzard). Augment with Hydras and Lightning Spear.

Thanks, all!

I got some leveling in last night using some Incinerate build. But, I also have a few ubers to help me, so I’ve practically been able to just spam Incinerate infinitely. Can the Blizzard build be just as easy as that?

Blizzard with Glacial Aspect on 2-handed staff (or amulet if you have enough CDR and FS duration to do infinite flame shield). And then “Ancient Flames” Aspect + the corresponding “Esu’s-something” key passive.

Get some +life per hit in early levels, you’ll be immortal. (Just stand in middle of Helltides maiden ritual site, and hardly ever dies.)

As you venture into WT4, Get +mana per seconds on Head, Chest & boots, avoid Resource cost reduction, and get + resource generation instead. Together with the Fast Attack speed, you’ll spend mana like they’re worthless and you’ll get infinite Ice-armor and you’ll be immortal. (Hardly ever dies in NMDs)

Finally, masterwork Flameshield duration, skill levels, or CDR on {Helm, chest, pants, ammy, X’fals, Tal rasha’s, focus} and throw in ice-blades enchantment to complete the infinite flameshield cycle, and you’ll be immortal. (Hardly ever dies until Pit100+ or boss is sharpshooter)

No Shako or GA on CDR is required. (You may end up with just a split second short on Flame shield.)

Thanks for the info!

Is this build outlined in a guide anywhere? This is the first Sorcerer that I’ve even created, so I am completely clueless when it comes to most things related to it.

Nope… But it’s just me blending these 2 videos together (plus finding out which things feels good when leveling):

…clearly you did not read my first post…

Sorc is the last class I have left to level to 100, which means:

I have already rolled a barb.

The best leveling build is standing near a minion necro in helltide.

I honestly haven’t seen much of them lately. I figured it’s either people moving on from the season already, or everyone already has their Necro lol.

I’ve leveled to 91 on a hydra, firewall, incinerate build, and it’s been fun. Today I respecced since I have a blue rose and the ammie that’s good for frost, and he’s weaker but I can see if I get the high end leggos like I have for fire, he’ll be better overall.

The fireball enchant is a must though.
