In this guide, I’ll be showcasing another unique build we tested in Season 4 PTR, which is the powerful Frozen Orb Sorcerer with Fractured Winterglass unique Amulet at its core. This is an incredible endgame build that combines Frozen Orb with a spell, creating an effect that can easily reach high levels and permanently freeze enemies.
It’s no problem with Pit of Artificers endgame newly introduced in Season 4. Personally, Pit Tier 159 was the highest we could open with this build at the time. So, at least with the scaling we have on PTR, getting all the way to Pit Tier 200 is pretty easy. So it’s safe to say this is one of the best builds out there, especially for a Sorcerer.
How it works is that Fractured Winterglass gives it a chance to spawn any random Conjuration whenever you cast Frozen Orb. So Ice Blades, Lightning Spear or Hydra and those Conjurations will spawn and throw their own Frozen Orbs. These Orbs can move back and forth and explode around like you know.
Basically, you’ll see about 20 Frozen Orbs exploding all the time. What’s more, if you have Aspect of Frozen Orbit, it can also cause Frozen Orbs to explode three times.
What this means is that you actually have a lot of Lucky Hit triggers, you have a lot of opportunities to trigger those Conjurations summon spawns, and you have Lightning Spears flying around all the time to deal a lot of damage.
Additionally, Frozen Orb synergize well with Conjuration Mastery Passive, providing additional damage and mana regeneration. So the more Conjurations you have, the more these scales up, the more you can spam everything. So it all synergize with each other in a really crazy way, making this build powerful.
You might feel that with the build going roughly the way I’ve shown it, it might be a little weak. Since our goal in Season 4 is to get into Pit Tier 200, the bar is a little higher, but the unique Fractured Winterglass will definitely help you get there.
This is one of the new Diablo 4 items dropped by Lord Zir in World Tier 4. It gives you a 35-50% chance of generating random Conjuration when casting Frozen Orb Explosion. If Lucky Hits, your Conjurations have a whopping 70-100% chance of launching Frozen Orbs at nearby enemies. Before getting Fractured Winterglass, Frozen Orb Sorcerer dealt mediocre damage and struggled to maintain mana.
While this build will still work on the starting Sorcerer, we strongly recommend switching to Chain Lightning Sorcerer build before you get Fractured Winterglass. Because Frozen Orbs deplete resources quickly, starting at a whopping 40 mana, and requiring specific equipment to maintain mana to continuously cast Frozen Orbs.
They’ve buffed Frozen Orbs quite a bit since I played it in Season 1. As I mentioned, this is pretty good, especially for leveling. When you're not looking for truly high-end content, and you don't have to fight millions of monsters like a boss, Frozen Orb Sorcerer is always the best choice.
But like I mentioned before, Aspect of Frozen Orbit has great synergy with Frozen Orbs, so you have to find it at least once. This will change your settings for more Conjurations.
And in Season 4, you can now choose where to detonate Frozen Orbs. When you play the game using your mouse and keyboard, it moves to your cursor. I think when you play with the controller, it just goes to your target or, like, a random set distance.
So it’s not like there was always a fixed long range where you had to constantly reposition yourself to really cast accurately. If you want, you can even stand on top of your enemies and throw Frozen Orbs into their faces. This also makes using it easier and better. Because you are guaranteed to always explode on the target, and the radius is very large.
But I have to say, I think this build will last a long time against all of these bosses. Therefore, boss battles are definitely a weakness of Frozen Orbs. But don’t worry, you can increase boss damage by optimizing settings. Once you are fully equipped, you can enter Pit Tier 200 and even clear speed will be fast.
We can also take a quick look at Paragon Board. We have six boards, six glyphs, and one or two very influential legendary nodes.
First, Icefall causes you to deal extra damage to vulnerable enemies. Additionally, we have Frigid Fate here, which also deals extra damage to vulnerable targets based on your cold damage. This number may seem a bit low, but you can actually Temper the cold damage, or non-physical damage, to maximize the effect of this Frigid Fate board.
There are also Paragon nodes that are basically just for stacking a lot of defenses. So we have a lot of life and similar damage reduction here, such as Damage Reduction from Vulnerable, Damage Reduction from Burning, Damage Reduction from Chilled. Because we need to be as tanky as possible to ensure we can survive the high-end content in Pit and those Uber bosses.
The rest is just like you know, grab some really important stuff like damage modifiers like Winter Glyph, and Destruction Glyph which can crit scale. Additionally, there’s a Conjurer Glyph here that increases their duration, so you have a really nice damage bonus.
All in all, this Frozen Orb build is a powerful and fun build for Sorcerer in Diablo 4 Season 4. But anyway, we still need to wait for the final patch notes. Let’s wait and see!
Here, we’ll take a deep dive into the newly introduced endgame activity in Diablo 4 Season 4: Pit of Artificers. With this guide, you’ll learn the requirements for entering this new endgame, the mechanics of Pit, and what rewards you’ll receive for completing it.
From dungeon mechanics to Masterworking materials and Stygian Stones, we’ve broken down all the essentials to help you overcome this challenge. Don’t miss it if you like concise and informative guides. May your adventures in Pit of Artificers be both meaningful and enjoyable! Let’s start!
Pit of Artificers is a new endgame activity in Diablo 4 Season 4. Before entering, you first need to be in World Tier 4, and then you must run Tier 46 Nightmare Dungeon to complete this Priority Quest.
Obelisk for entering Pit is located in Cerrigar next to Waypoint. But please note that every time you enter Pit, Runeshards are required to enter. Runeshards come from completing most endgame activities, such as Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide Chests, Legion Events, and Whisper Caches.
This Pit has a tier system like Nightmare Dungeon. The higher the dungeon tier you enter, the higher level enemies you will fight, and of course, the more Diablo 4 Gold and loot you will receive upon completion.
After entering Pit, a timer will start, and defeating enemies will fill up the progress bar. Your goal is to fill this progress bar before time runs out.
There are multiple tilesets in Pit containing different types of enemies connected through portals. But I must remind you, try to avoid dying in Pit of Artificers! Because this will reduce your remaining time depending on how many times you die.
Once you complete the progress bar, you’ll get a portal to the boss stage. Defeating the boss will stop the timer and complete your dungeon run. Depending on how much time you have left, this will determine how many additional levels you will unlock.
After completing Pit of Artificers endgame, you will be able to obtain some equipment, but more importantly, some Masterworking materials and Stygian Stones.
For Masterworking materials, you have Obducites, Ingoliths, and Neathirons. The materials you get depend on the tier of Pit you run. You can use these Masterworking materials at Blacksmith to upgrade your gear, which replaces the old Blacksmith upgrade system.
You can masterwork your gear a total of 12 times. Every level up except every 4 will increase all your affixes by 5%, while levels up to 4, 8, and 12 will increase random affixes by 25%.
Neathirons and Ingoliths can be converted by Alchemist at a conversion rate of 1 to 5. This avoids the trouble of being unable to upgrade the gear because we cannot find suitable materials.
Stygian Stones can be used on any endgame boss to generate a level 200 version of that boss as well as summoning materials. These bosses have a much higher drop rate than the original version. In order to defeat these bosses, you need to be well geared or have extensive experience in mastering the boss mechanics.
Anyway, that’s it for this quick guide to Pit of Artificers. Let’s look forward to what other exciting new content there will be in Diablo 4 Season 4. Good luck and have fun!
With Diablo 4 Season 4 PTR over, I’m back with my brand new Firebolt Sorcerer. This is a new Firebolt build for Season 4 based on Flameweaver Unique Gloves. So in this guide, let’s talk about how this new build works and what the highlights are.
I believe many players know that the new season will introduce a new endgame system with 220 tiers, Pit of Artificers. Even though I haven’t fully unlocked all tiers in PTR, this build can be easily run and even go all the way through T200, at least on PTR.
I also don’t expect this build to be significantly nerfed compared to other builds that have performed so well. So I think this will be relatively close to what we see in the live patch.
The build centers on Flameweaver Gloves, which allow players to unleash devastating Firebolt attacks. This Diablo 4 items will split Firebolt into multiple projectiles when you fire it. These projectiles can also fire at the same target, so you can produce pretty crazy single target damage output.
Basically, you have these Unique Gloves and you know where to put Firebolt. It’s actually a positioning-like game where you have to try to place Flameweaver in the right spot, such as right in front of an enemy, and Firebolt will impale all enemies.
You can also choose to keep Firebolt away from AOE and knock down the entire pack with a single attack, or you can try to place it in front of the elite and then hit them with many projectiles.
All in all, this build has a very interesting new play style that differs completely from other builds I’ve played so far.
The way this build is setup is based on DoTs, as Firebolt actually attaches a sizeable portion of DoTs damage. You could also try to make it like a hit-crit build, but I think DoTs might be the more correct choice. Because it’s actually one of the few similar non-crit builds.
Since your burning effect stacks on enemies, you can burn monsters easily. Then you just watch them melt as you run away, dying in your wake. So that’s really fun.
But for a more precise setup, I guess we’ll have to wait for the final patch notes, as I expect there will be quite a few balance changes. There will be more of these builds as we progress and once we have the final patch notes.
Beyond that, this build has incredible survivability. Because this is a basic attack build with a very high attack speed, you can have effects like starting a new life on your item with each click. But more importantly, you can also have other Legendary Powers, like Hectic.
Hectic is something very useful in building. Every time you attack five times with a basic skill, it reduces your cooldown. Since this is basically what you’re doing all the time, you can refresh your cooldown often. Especially useful for your Flame Shield.
Some players may be concerned that Flame Shield is at risk of being nerfed in the new season. But regardless, even if it is nerfed or even removed, you can still provide the benefits of this Hectic effect to all other skills here, such as Frost Nova, Teleport, and Inferno.
So you can do different combinations here. It will constantly reset your cooldown with this Hectic Power. In fact, you could even try putting it on an amulet if you want to reset your cooldown faster.
Excitingly, I also took down some level 200 Uber Bosses with this build. Because you only need to press more on your Flame Shield and Ice Armor to further increase the efficiency of your build. Even if you don’t play all the mechanics perfectly, it’s easy to survive these bosses.
Anyway, for now I just wanted to highlight how this new Flameweaver Firebolt Sorcerer build works. I think it’s pretty cool and definitely something to look forward to.
While Firebolt build isn’t expected to be the absolute best in Diablo 4 Season 4, it’s expected to be one of the best-performing Sorcerer builds. Overall, Season 4 promises to offer a wider range of viable Sorcerer builds for players to explore. Let’s wait and see!

Additionally, Season 3 brings forth a Battle Pass system, allowing players to unlock rewards by completing challenges and advancing their season rank. Among the rewards are fresh cosmetic items, legendary weapons, and Seneschal Companions—mechanical pets designed to aid players in combat.
As we all know, Gold is generally used in the Diablo series as the game currency that needs to be paid when buying items or repairing equipment. Gold was brought up again with the release of Diablo IV, also known as Diablo 4 Gold.
Generally speaking, in previous Diablo series games, the usage rate of Diablo Gold is far lower than that of Diablo Items, because the value of the items themselves is far greater than gold coins when trading between players. It is unknown whether Gold will be the most widely circulated currency in Diablo 4.
