Trying to decide which build to use

Trying to decide between ball lightning or frozen orb.

I dont care if its not the meta like minion necro, just fun to play. I played ball lightning when it was the meta (season 2?) and enjoyed it, but I noticed the aspects have changed. Is it similar to S2 or did they change it?

Any other fun builds?

Honestly I’d like to know the same. Necro Minion is an OP blast, but I also made a sorc this season to just do the campaign again since I hadn’t seen it since S0 and I remember very little of it. T1 with an Incinerator is …kinda meh to be honest. Ball lightening was also meh when I tried at early levels. Recommendations appreciated for solid, successful builds.

Depends on the content you tried. ball lightning is bad in PIT as it is malee range so you will get killed by the one shoot ground effect a lot when fighting boss. Frozen orb isn’t better too as it obscure the one shoot effect too as the orb size is too big. Ball lightning damage is average now after bug fixed in season 3. Arc lash and flameweaver is new toy with two new Unique glove. Flameweaver has highest boss damage, but is slow in clear mobs due to bad aoe.

Thanks for the input.

Playing around with a pure fire mage I’m building myself, lvl 54 now and it’s wrecking things easily, but too early to tell. If it doesnt work out, I’m going to go FO since I’ve done the BL before.

Incinerate sorcerer is really good for leveling.
It was also pretty busted in helltides since I could clear any of the events just by spinning on the spot.
I leveled up from 60 running NM dungeons up to 25 levels higher than me with no problems.

The build isn’t great for the PIT though since boss damage struggles a bit when you have to spend all your time dodging the ground effects.
Only managed to clear up to 50 so far.
