RELATED: Comparing Diablo 4's Rogue to the Original Game
Unlike in Diablo 2, however, the Sorceress will have access to Diablo 4's new skill and passive tree system, adding new ways to customize her abilities. Charged Bolts, a skill available in both Diablo 2 Resurrected and Diablo 4, can be upgraded in the latter game to create additional bolts upon casting. Players wanting to increase the capability of their lightning Sorceress can spec into the passive Overcharge which gives players the chance to create Crackling Energy upon critical striking. Crackling Energy is a new resource that restores some mana upon pick-up Diablo 4 Gold. This would allow players to restore mana as they’re moving so as to not slow down their gameplay, similar to health orbs seen in Diablo 3.
The New Sorceress Enchantment System and Primary Stat Thresholds
Diablo 4 will also introduce a new mechanic specific to the Sorceress called the enchantment system. Within this system players have the option to place active skills in the active skill slots or the enchantment slots, adding a new secondary effect. Players will not be able to use the active skill if it is used in this way. Placing the newly-introduced active skill Ball Lightning into the enchantment slot, for example, will change any generated Crackling Energy and turn them into Ball Lightning instead.
When mana sustain is no longer an issue, this could be a viable way to add more damage to her lightning skills. This new system, along with Diablo 4’s new itemization system buy Diablo IV Gold, will allow players to come up with endless build possibilities not seen in such depth in Diablo games before. On top of this, players will be able to respec more freely than what was possible in Diablo 2, so this will ensure build experimentation and diversity.
