Orange lightning spear build? is it true or possible? is it worth it? will it be nerfed?

It has come to my attention that new “orange Lightning Spear Build” FOR SORCERER.
Can someone here tell me how goood it is?
is anybody here using this build?
is it too hard to create?
I’ve heard is the best pit pushing and most powerful build for sorcerer…
Any help with information and build link will be very appreciated.

If you can get the snapshot down…if…it is worth it. An overpower sorc build. My problem was keeping the OP up. Managed to do it once for an entire pit and ran 100 in like 2.5 minutes. Instead of like 7-8 minutes. I personally question if it’s worth the hassle, for me. I do plenty damage w/ regular LS. My essential glyphs are 100 so I really don’t push the pit anymore. There is Mekuna’s and Lurkin’s. They are a little bit different. Mekuna uses piranado instead of cycle. They both have videos up. I’m running Lurkin’s regular right now. Both on mobalytics.

Without being able to read what Karmig said, of course it’ll be nerfed. Snapshotting will be a high priority on Season 8. Entering pits will likely wipe away all buffs that aren’t flasks and incense (and event blessings).

I tried it and it is very cumbersome to play.
Almost always your snapshot will not work or will suddenly vanish in the middle.
The build is only for Pit pushing. Other than that, any other sorc build is better imho.

it only works in pit, I can clear pit 120 in about 4 mins.

In past, Blizzard won’t fix snapshot in middle of a season but nothing is 100%

I have CL sorc but wanted to test it out. Besides pants and Staff, I didn’t change much so my build might be a bit different. I don’t have a Shako, but a Perdition. I was able to max out all my glyphs this weekend stopping at 101 for the pits. So yeah, it works really well.

My ritual was to drink the potions, cast LS and then move. If the first mob hits, then it’s a go…If not I’d just port out.

I suppose I could have pushed more but without Shako, the cooldown wasn’t great. I can see the potential if you hit the right shrine…

In the end, I’m going to go back to CL tonight. It’s way more fun to play.

Lightning spear sorc is very strong even without being orange. Overpower is a bit overrated here because your base life and fortify is the only way to scale its damage. Biggest chunk of the damage comes from nonphysical, critical strike damage, chance to do double damage, shock damage etc. You’ll lose about 20% of damage without OP if you have something like 15k life.
I don’t have problems with the snapshot. I use the cycle and hex of whispers. The OP stays active all of the run:

I don’t know what you were going to post but that’s the power of non orange LS Sorc. Except for Rogue, no build can dream of leveling that fast.
Diablo IV Season 7 Sorcerer Speed Leveling
She is just as fast at farming T4 and tormented bosses.

90 seconds pit is not that hard to do on other classes.

EQ Barb and Cataclysm Druid can do 90 seconds pit 100+ like OP LS.

I have WW EQ barb myself and my friend the Cata druid. 90s depends on the map layout, it takes longer with bad maps. Cataclysm OP sometimes misses the timing, you have to wait to reload.
LS Sorc (non orange version) can run pit 85 in 60-90 seconds without any snapshots or care for the map layout. You’ll end up with more exp per hour.

I have all the said classes and builds and I’m like just 300m XP away from p300. Needless to say XP per hour is rather important to me when I’m speed farming pits.

Sorc is very good at farming, but don’t underesitmate other builds when modified with speed farming in mind.

I am telling you I have a WW EQ barb who has got 200% run speed (permanently active wrath of the berserker) and Jah for teleport for speed running pit 100. You can’t beat uninterrupted teleport. It’s better to do pit 85 faster than pit 100 slower.

The orange build with drinking 4x health potions is not so easy to do like it reads.
I rebuild it (cd, everything ok, but i dont have the awesome amulet with passives)

I drank 4 healthpotions, buffed my damage, activated flame shield. And did not see a single orange damage number and after 3 seconds i was dead :laughing: (pit lvl 100)

Update: i managed to see 2 lonesome 50 billions damage numbers and than i was dead again. Thats not an easy no brainer sloth build for me.

Is there any comfortable to play sorc build which can do lvl 100 easily?

I tried it serveral times. I cant bring a single elite down with that build. And when i get hit one time im dead. Mobility is awesome. You can zoom around like a god.

Try uninterrupted Leap for speed farming.

I’m not arguing with you about what’s “the best”, I’m just saying other classes are not that far behind, except Necro. :rofl:

Leap is slow as f. WW Quake with Jah rune for teleport and the ghost bat aspect in boots is faster. When we are talking about barbs. You have no clue.

You got so defensive it’s kinda funny.

Get Rahir for fortify and 15% armor, check weather your armor and resistances are maxed.

You seem to follow an agenda like a behind hurt individual caught lying. Take that leap barb of yours and beat pit 100 in 90 seconds. Post the video here. Then we can talk. Leap animation is slow, I know because I started out with leap first…

Armor 1000+ Raheir as merc its a copy of Mekuna “Orange Pit Push” build from mobalytics. The only thing i do not have is the amulet with the passives.

I already beat greater pits with necromancer and rogue. But both have all their 23 glyphs at lvl 100. Now i wanted to do the same with sorc.
