Welcome to our list for the best Sorcerer builds you can play in the new Diablo 4 game mode - Abattoir of Zir. The Abbatoir of Zir is a limited time seasonal event in Diablo 4's Season of Blood. This mode is going to be similar to Greater Rifts in Diablo 3 - you need to kill enough enemies in order to summon the final boss and defeat them before the time runs out. The difficulty of the Abattoir of Zir is going to be above that of level 100 Nightmare dungeons, so only the best builds in the game will be able to compete in it. Here is our list for the top Sorcerer builds, based on their survivabilty, damage and mobility:

Diablo 4 Ice Shards Skill Icon

Ice Shards Sorcerer

The 'Machine-Gun' build is an excellent option, particularly in the face of increased enemy health and boss fights within Abattoir of Zir. Renowned for its high single-target damage, this build remains effective in rifts without sacrificing survivability and mobility. While it may lack strong AoE options, the build anticipates that any enemy encounter could resemble a boss fight, favoring its strengths.

Diablo 4 Chain Lightning Skill Icon

Chain Lightning Sorcerer

The Chain Lightning build for the Sorcerer is going to be the best option for quickly clearing the mob portion of the Abattoir of Zir. While its single-target damage might not be as impressive and could pose challenges against the final boss, its efficiency in clearing other levels compensates for it. The build is a lot of fun to play and will be able to clear a good amount of levels in the Abattoir of Zir.

S Tier Sorcerer Builds For Abattoir of Zir

Diablo 4 Arc Lash Skill Icon

Arc Lash Sorcerer

 

Arc Lash is one of the best Sorcerer builds you can pick for the Abattoir of Zir. The build has it all - it's extremely tanky, very mobile and barely uses any resources, which allow you to quickly move from pack to pack and clear the entire screen. While you do have to be in melee range for this build to work, you have enough defensive options available to you to not be a problem. If you want to push as high as possible in the Abattoir of Zir, Arc Lash might be the build for you.

Diablo 4 Ball Lightning Skill Icon

Ball Lightning Sorcerer

Similar to Arc Lash, Ball Lightning is another build that is going to excel in the Abattoir of Zir. This versatile Sorcerer build excels in both AoE mob clearing and boss encounters, making it a consistent performer. With a proven track record as one of the strongest builds in Season 2, Ball Lightning will continue to dominate even in the Abattoir of Zir mode.

Those are our picks for the strongest Sorcerer builds you can play in the Abattoir of Zir. These builds excel in all of the categories needed for pushing high in this Greater Rift inspired mode - survivability, mobility and raw damage. Hopefully this list has helped you make your pick for the newest seasonal event. If you are interested in more Diablo 4 content, check out the rest of our website.
