Thanks so much for this vid. I just played through my first character to 100 using this guide and it just totally obliterates everything and super fun to play and level up with. Learned a lot about the mentality behind making a build from your video too so thanks for the deep explanations of everything
love the build thank you. I've been experimenting with the melted heart of selig with this build. No one is coming out with original builds like this. Keep it up dude!
so selig sounds good in theory, but in practice you just lose a ton of damage from losing the aspect and the 60 resource roll is wasted. def viable but slower
Selig gives enough DR for ignoring disobedience and other DRs on pants and chest - can use tibault + raiment which is 40x + 2 levels of glass canon. and selig has 100%+ damage (attack power should go from 15k to ~30k now). i’m running Selig with level 5 glass canon in T100s, really a walk in the park (can be even safer with the 25% DR from the charged bolt enchant).
in math you lose 55% attack speed (rapid 30, ancient flame not on amulet 25), but the tibault 40x dmg + 2 levels of glass canon really makes it you kill most trash with 5 swings.
@@Lurkin17absolutely not you save us so much time Testing stuff, and Takes Options Out or in this is what a Great Guide is for me and ye atleast If No bullshit is included, which is the point on so detailed insight
@@Lurkin17I definitely like the fact that u mention options for example if u don’t have shako and if u wanna use flickers or eso. So that’s good. Been using max roll arc lash build, but I got those gloves and thought they could be used that led me to your builds. So great! Can’t wait to try this. One thing though on the website u have points into chain lightning as well here u don’t? Is it better with chain lightning?
done more testing on this build, here’s what i’ve found: 1. it’s very much under appreciated how much more mobile arc lash is compared to glacial/meteor where casting causes a moment of stiff. 2. putting on selig + tibault + raiment, still got enough defense to shred T100 but with at least twice the damage (putting ancient flame on focus instead).
Subbed. Your builds are class and very well explained. Will try this build later. Always liked the look of paingorgers but could never really make them work so thank you. 👍
Tried this build, currently lvl 94 and not all glyphs maxed this shit does a ton of damage still. verry good well rounded prob the best arc lash build i tried good job on this build man its fucking amazing 👍
This is an insanely good build. I was lucky enough to get a shako on my 3rd Duriel ever, so I made this build to use it. This build has it all, including safety due to the stuns from lighting and being able to attack mobs offscreen with paingorgers.
Also, I am not sold on the dagger as weapon. It seems to only give about a 3% increase in damage at the cost of Lucky hit chance. I understand this is not a lucky hit build, but I really think people underestimate elemental attunement. I need to do further testing.
Why everliving on helmet instead of disobedience? But disobedience on legs ? I’m getting the gear and the last glyph leveled for this build. I don’t have shako, but I do have tibault. I have godslayer as well which is fun with tibault, crazy dame. But when i change for this build im thinking about using tibault and helmet with disobedience. But is everliving better ?
Disobedience is better than everliving. I think the reason why disobedience is on the legs instead of helm is so when you get Shako you swap everliving off and you still have disobedience on. In your case I'd definitely use disobedience on helmet and use tibaults since you don't have Shako.
@@aaronp8874 well with that comment I’m gonna ask u this then. :D So I just got my first uber unique, the melted heart amulet. Shouldn’t I use that? Tried it and it feels pretty damn OP! And with 23k attack power with it. But I would loose out on the ancient flame aspect then and also armor%. But maybe put ancient flame on ring, rapid or storm swell on weapon and lastly conceited on off hand. Or should I drop using melted heart? 🙏🏻
Why use Storm Swell aspect over something with more consistent damage, like Conceited or Elemental? Or even Edgemaster since it'll always be max damage, with you not using any mana in this build?
this is the first arc/paingorger build i’ve seen that gets into the S tier domain to comp meteor/glacial. scaling math well done. talking about glacial and scaling math, i discovered that a two-hander glacial aspect + storm swell on amulet absolutely shreds way more than standard wand+focus setup (about 20% higher glacial ticks, and lucky hit is minor for glacial build imo). would be dope to see you try it out 😁
yeah that is definitely the play to maximize ice spike damage, and is useful for boss farming. for me i don't spec like that, i just do 4 man rotos and typically a barb nukes it. this is definitely better than the first iteration, and the use of both rapid and ancient flame is definitely up for debate. An ancient flame dagger with storm swell amulet and conceited focus would probably out dps this. I am not totally sure, it's really hard to tell on the training dummies. I have that variant with tibault's listed in the in depth section in the guide.
yeahhh I talk about that in the written guide I think. I will be definitely be running firebolt TP enchant with Flickers for gauntlet when I try this build
Love this build btw! Question for you Lurkin: Why is Territorial not part of the paragon board setup? Seems like it would provide a lot of benefit. DR to close and damage to close. Any reason you chose not to include it?
I didn't really need the DR. and the damage to close is good, but it would only affect the close enemies I hit, not the ones marked far away. paingorg don't scale like that. It just scales off Base damage of Arc Lash and then whatever status effects etc and multis you have. So close damage doesn't do anything for anything that isn't close to you
Have you tried using teleport enchant with flickerstep and overflowing energy. It takes out Esu.. however you have teleport up 100% of the time due to Flickerstep letting you have 100% uptime on Unstable currents. Then with both teleports (one is now your evade), it reduces both cooldowns on teleports. So you literally teleport to one pack, kill.. teleport to the next kill.. etc..
im going to be honest, i really dont like flickersteps. People love flickersteps so I have to think about them. I just don't like the gameplay of it for standard dungeons as I find UC unnecessary besides bossing. TP enchant is an option
hi~ It's a bit different from the skill description in the video and the skill in the More section. In Build Planner It looks like you took a softening lightning line on the core, but you didn't take it in the video??
+4 from shako and + 4 from droid will give alot more then just 30% extra damage, if used with unstable currents. it problably gives more damage to unstable currents then any other skill in the game.
yeah also experiment with aspects. Im not totally sold on the ancient flame rapid combo. like rapid alone might be better with overflowing and storm swell ammy. I don't know exactly if there are frame caps
I’m going to try this build, I’m in desperate NEED of powerful dps so that I may be able to do T100’s and solo bosses….also what about using a staff, is there a build for that?
@kevin you have multiple build options that are powerful enough to do t100 & bosses. Like, have you tried fireball meteor & blizzard besides this arc lash build?
@@taoday118 Its mouse button 4., So he probably uses the interaction button on his mouse. For example, I use F for interaction and take the ability off of left click, that way I have full control of when I use an ability and dont accidentally use an ability because it is tied to the same command as move.
One of your build shows to use Aspect of the Moonrise on ammy and the other shows it on a ring... thats for a Necro.. Very bad Boss damage... even on Son of Mal..
Yeah man we don’t have good single target we aren’t barbs and son of malphas is overtuned idk what you want here. The meta of this game right now is speed farming
And yeah not all builds are the same. It’s a process. Nothings perfect when they first get made when new changes come out. It’s feel crafting and that takes time
Hey Lurkin! Thanks again for another killer and smashing build! Currently running your Zeus Ancient Flame Ball Lightning build and loving it. At level 68 but moving up. I know and realize I am not as high level as I should 😜Would you recommend sticking with it or running this build? I was lucky to get Paingorgers recently. Would love and appreciate your opinion! Thanks in advance and keep up the great work! Fyi, I am missing Adaptability, Harlequin and Tibaults.
arclash max attack speed is a way since s1. paingorgers boosts it to the sky. only thing is i hate being constantly stuck with raiment so i run dr chest with extra dr aspect on top
Phenomenal video. The first to actually explain the build. I used your build guide and I am absolutely loving arc lash. Thanks.
Glad I could help! I put a lot of time into all my builds
Thanks so much for this vid. I just played through my first character to 100 using this guide and it just totally obliterates everything and super fun to play and level up with. Learned a lot about the mentality behind making a build from your video too so thanks for the deep explanations of everything
Your welcome. Sorc isn’t too tricky in Diablo 4. Everything is pretty cookie cutter with just small board/glyph changes and a few aspect swaps
Awesome. I've been waiting for a good arc lash build. Working on putting it together now and I can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Good luck!
love the build thank you. I've been experimenting with the melted heart of selig with this build. No one is coming out with original builds like this. Keep it up dude!
so selig sounds good in theory, but in practice you just lose a ton of damage from losing the aspect and the 60 resource roll is wasted. def viable but slower
you were right just swapped it out, looking forward to new builds keep it up@@Lurkin17
Selig gives enough DR for ignoring disobedience and other DRs on pants and chest - can use tibault + raiment which is 40x + 2 levels of glass canon. and selig has 100%+ damage (attack power should go from 15k to ~30k now). i’m running Selig with level 5 glass canon in T100s, really a walk in the park (can be even safer with the 25% DR from the charged bolt enchant).
shako + selig gets you to about 14-16 mana regen per second, that’s 7-8% life x 75% in DR per second, that’s really a huge chunk.
in math you lose 55% attack speed (rapid 30, ancient flame not on amulet 25), but the tibault 40x dmg + 2 levels of glass canon really makes it you kill most trash with 5 swings.
Best build guide, ever. Great job explaining options .
sometimes I wonder If i diverge too much talking about options
@@Lurkin17absolutely not

good to know! I'll have another version out when gauntlet comes out. I always dial it in more on the third and fourth pass.
Do you have a planner link for that full setup?
Subbed. Your builds are class and very well explained. Will try this build later. Always liked the look of paingorgers but could never really make them work so thank you. 👍
thanks! they took a minute to figure out. it wasn't until I saw a reddit post going over how they scale i could really dial it in
Played arc lash twice and it was a very fun I’ll be playing this once I’m done with my blizzard. Thanks for the build guide !
arc lash is super fun
Tried this build, currently lvl 94 and not all glyphs maxed this shit does a ton of damage still. verry good well rounded prob the best arc lash build i tried good job on this build man its fucking amazing 👍
Glad to hear. I cook. I know sorc very well.
Nice guide! Many thx. Sub!
Written guide is one of the best seen so far! Awesome
thanks I really try to go wild on the in depths. I spend a lot of time

i think wand or dagger is totally acceptable as it doesnt make a big difference and daggers are really hard to find
Is Ahavarion uber unique viable for this build? I just dropped one, still no shako :(

really cool builds! following the meatball build atm.
Hahah nice try the fireball ancient flame one I have up! Works really good with teleport enchant and flickers too
Can I please ask what would you substitute in place of the uniques for people that don't have them yet?
its in the build planner at the bottom drop down menus. (In Depth Explanation)
thank you
any thoughts on Flickerstep + teleport enchant? it's been my favorite way to dungeon/vault with this build.
yeahhh I talk about that in the written guide I think. I will be definitely be running firebolt TP enchant with Flickers for gauntlet when I try this build

Are these the best skills to put points into when starting out or should you change things around depending on the drops you get
I'm not entirely sure. I think you can sort of wing it as your starting off
hi~
It's a bit different from the skill description in the video and the skill in the More section. In Build Planner
It looks like you took a softening lightning line on the core, but you didn't take it in the video??
yeah i made a tweak after the video. I think the planner is done I don't want to touch it anymore. too notorious for that
+4 from shako and + 4 from droid will give alot more then just 30% extra damage, if used with unstable currents. it problably gives more damage to unstable currents then any other skill in the game.
i was referring to JUST Shako. I was purely eyeballing the tooltip increase
so could one sub the ice blades to teleport for gauntlet? i dont need disob or jug so i can wear tibalts instead er.. teleport for speeds i mean
I have actual dedicated gauntlet builds up
I just wanna say thanks for a good guide and makeing my game experience a bit more … fun(?).
Glad to hear it!
How can this be made- where I can use Starless ?
cant use starless on this, no mana spender
got a paingorger with *perfect* stats. now this build just feels god tier - gotta say no weaker than glacial. 🎉
one minor change i found useful: chill enchant with hoarfrost, gives 9x more dmg.
yeah also experiment with aspects. Im not totally sold on the ancient flame rapid combo. like rapid alone might be better with overflowing and storm swell ammy. I don't know exactly if there are frame caps
I’m going to try this build, I’m in desperate NEED of powerful dps so that I may be able to do T100’s and solo bosses….also what about using a staff, is there a build for that?
if you were to use a staff id prolly go for lycander tbh. normal staff ehhh maybe ancient flame then storm swell ammy, adapt on ring
Thanks for the tip, also what stones should be used since I don’t yet have evernight or genesis?
@kevin you have multiple build options that are powerful enough to do t100 & bosses. Like, have you tried fireball meteor & blizzard besides this arc lash build?
@@taoday118 no I have not, I have become comfortable with the arch lash though
Do you know if Uber Stones are account bound or player bound ?
Player
charcter bound
And the stones will go away at end of season
Why don’t you wear Selig? +100% damage when u r healthy
you lose a lot of damage. and that +100 isn't 2x damage. its just 100% added to your additive which equates to about 10%
Wherez the build link
my bad i deleted them on accident they are back in
Hey, blizzard or This build is better?
blizzard is the best all around build sorc has

It said that this build is tanky! I tried it, amazing dps but very squishy!
when you have shako and drop tibaults it gets tanky. drop tibaults and youll get tankier
I think you are dialed in
