Is The Sorceress A Good Class in Diablo 2 Resurrected?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Sorceress is similar to most other classes in Diablo 2, being that it has its pros and cons. What makes this class stand out above the rest is that it doesn’t require much time or item investment to become powerful, it has a fast-paced playstyle, and it has tons of end-game potential. <\/span><\/p>\n

Where the Sorceress falls short is in its survivability and noticeable learning curb. But if you take the time to develop the Blizzard Sorceress build as outlined below and learn how to manage this class’s weaknesses, it’s a class you can take into almost any battle. <\/span><\/p>\n

Best Diablo 2 Resurrected Sorceress Build: Blizzard Sorceress<\/span><\/h2>\n

The build we’ve chosen for the Blizzard Sorceress incorporates Sunder Charms<\/a>, which allows you to reduce the resistance an enemy has to your type of damage. The build also increases your cold resistance while buffing your damage and, most importantly, giving you extra defense to survive battles for longer periods. <\/span><\/p>\n

Below we’ve broken down all the gear you’ll need to equip to get the most out of the Blizzard build, as well as the items that socket into each ger piece to max out its potential. Then we’ve gone ahead and detailed the skills that you’ll need to not only decimate your enemies but alleviate some of the Sorceress’s weaknesses and buff its base stats. <\/span><\/p>\n

Which Mercenary To Use With Diablo 2 Sorceress Build<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your Mercenary is extremely important to the overall success of your build. They can act as a front-line tank, provide a critical Aura, and\/or deal Physical Damage to kill enemies who are immune to your Skillset. We recommend the Act 2 Desert Mercenary, which can be hired from Greiz, for the Blizzard Sorceress build.<\/span><\/p>\n

To deal with enemies who are immune to your main damage source, use a Desert Mercenary with Might Aura. You can equip him with Infinity to reduce enemy Resistance and Defense with Conviction Aura, resulting in significantly increased damage.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Best
Using a mercenary is vital to your survival, so keep one at your side at all times. (Picture: Blizzard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Mercenary is difficult to keep alive until you have the bare minimum of equipment recommended in this guide. You can drag Healing Potions onto the portrait or use shift + 1\/2\/3\/4 to feed them a Healing Potion directly from your Belt. The Mercenary also gains Resistance bonuses from Thawing and Antidote Potions.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your Mercenary dies in battle, you can resurrect them by talking to any of the Mercenary NPCs in each Act. This does come at an increasing cost each time you do it and will cap off at 50,000 Gold. Keep this in mind when considering when you need the Mercenary at your side.<\/span><\/p>\n
