    Default Sorcerer build ideas

    I need a build for running tombs fast and elites in the future. Currently I'm looking at

    frost
    fire
    clock
    shield

    or


    fire
    clock
    shield
    lightning

    or

    fire
    ice
    clock
    lightning

    Which if these is better and what's your best builds.

    Also, lightning or frost?
    Feel free to pm coolguymage ig

    From the choices you gave, I would choose:

    frost
    fire
    clock
    shield

    I have played around with frost, lightning, clock, and shield quite a bit. Re-specc'd many times. I prefer frost to lightning except for bosses because that freeze really makes a difference. I wouldn't do without Shield again now that I've seen what it does. Clock is a great skill on paper, and it was tough for me to give it up, but in reality it just didn't end up being as effective as other skills.

    At this point, I would recommend this combination that you did not list:

    frost
    fire
    lightning
    shield

    Since you didn't list Heal, I assume you are okay without it and are probably comfortable using pots. If so, that's great, don't take it. But I find it immensely helpful for Mana regen, let alone Health regen. If you were to take it (and this is the way I usually run), I would suggest:

    Normally:
    frost
    fire
    shield
    heal

    For Bosses:
    frost
    lightning
    shield
    heal

    ty for the suggestions. I have decided to use your last build with one exception. I'm replacing heal with clock as I am running tombs currently and it is my (maybe) most effective skill to help clear them. Also I can simply use pots and warriors Horn will do plenty for the hp regen.

    The build would be paired with your gear and first of all what's your gear?
    If all legendary yea sure you can use heal
    If mythic set you should choose fire ice clock shield
    If imbued set same with this^^
    If myth or imbued set with arcane ring and has a very great amount of health like 4k++ you should go with 4 attack skills which would be great help in killing and if you pot a lot and those 4 would be fire light clock gale I saw this build from someone in planar tombs and I also tried it once in different elites and it works pretty well so the skills depends on gear case better gear you need more attack and I have one thing to say CLOCK IS A MUST HAVE IN ELITE that's all thank you

    If you are looking for a good WT4 or KT4 build, I would recommend:

    Fire
    Frost
    Gale
    Clock
    Lightning

    Use clock for mobs, switch out for Lightning on bosses. Gale is tricky, however this build gets you through the tombs much faster, with added risk because there is no shield to save you.

    I also find staffs to work better in these tombs, however that might be because of my play style.

    GL!

    What level are you?

    I would not recommend the build I listed before with your gear. It would most likely be better to use something like:

    Fire
    Ice
    Clock
    Heal
    Lightning

    Switching clock for lightning for bosses for leveling. Once you are capped (41) or close to it, you can look at getting rid of heal and using shield instead. The shield strength is based off of your STR. At lower levels I didn't find it as helpful.

    If you chase the fast.
    Try my build:
    No heal no shield.

    use clock, fire, ice, light, and gale force.
    passive full of str,dex.int,crit.
    if dont like gale, put it on shield or on armor passive.
