How To Get Infinite Mana in Diablo 4 (Diablo IV Build Guide)

Explaining How the Infinite Ice Shard build works, as well as options to help other elements for the Sorcerer. Unfortunately, Ice Shard Sorceress is the easiest way to make it work because the Avalanch Legendary Aspect is so strong. It may be the strongest build in Diablo 4 for this class, without many subsititutions #diablo4 #diabloiv

Stop using the words “broken” and “OP” unnecessarily for clickbait. This strategy is not OP. It’s balanced. We have a mana regen problem with sorcerer and this kinda solves it.

I’m loving this thank you. My mana management has been terrible and I am enjoying the mage class, but it’s gotten frustrating.

I wish along with these discussions, you could show what a complete skill tree would look like. Not the paragon board, but the base skill point tree. Love your content! Thanks for the great discussion and explanations!

Great vid mate!

Try this - ditch Flame Shield and pick up Blizzard. Cast a couple of them before you teleport in, and all those aoe ticks of cold damage will start procing Avalanche before you even have to think about using Ice Shards.
Using Blizzard also lets you take better advantage of Permafrost, Hoarfrost and most importantly, Frigid Breeze - this will pump your mana.
Plus Blizzard has over double the LH chance of Ice Shards.
And on top of all this, using Blizzard opens up all the 'damage to chilled' and 'damage over time' options, while still allowing the ability to freeze, and not having to rely so heavily on Frost Nova.

I know flame shield is handy, but you've always got Deep Freeze if you get yourself in a pinch.

I think we all can agree the mana generation and other stuff like damage on all classes needs major improvement. It's not horrible like some people keep trying to say, but it definitely needs attention

Content creators should seriously stop using the word “broken” every single time something new pops up amongst build variations or skills.

Hello, gonna try and give some constructive feedback. My ice shard sorc actually performs a lot better than what you showcased in the video. I quite consistently stay above 50 mana and often even above 100 mana.

You're forgetting frigid breeze passive, which you have put points in. It is actually one of the REAL mana regenerators on the build, and why your build works. It's odd you didn't point this out. If you use frigid breeze passive, making sure your ice shards do vulnerable is mandatory. Also, your lucky hit chance must be reasonably high for this. Get precision magic passive to increase your lucky hit.

Mother's embrace is indeed crap, as you pointed out. Replace it with aspect of the Umbral. People always look past aspect and I don't know why. It's amazing on this build. The aspect is "Restore (1-4) of your Primary Resource when you Crowd Control an enemy." Find one with max roll and you're good. The thing is that you're crowd controlling ALL THE TIME with this build, both frost nova and ice shards will do crowd control.

I'll have to log in on my sorc to see if there are some other tips but these are some from the top of my head. I might come back to this thread after work. :)

Devs these days are so lazy so please streamers quit using the work broken. They don't play or test shit they just look for this stuff to say "OH! We should nerf that". JUST STOP!

[dauntless]

5-10% chance to restore 10 mana per burning damage applied is actually amazing in this build also. I feel like it outperforms mother's ring in both packs and single target.

This ice build you showed, is exactly what I'm running, without frosties.
I'm lvl 60 in T4, melting everything, though I am a glass cannon and you must use your Def skills properly.
FYI,
I have +3 Def ammy &
+3tele/FlameSheld boots w/ +3 evade charges. Use tele on enchantment slot for +4teleports to move around and get to your advantage point. Also great for moving though dungeons quickly.

[woodstocksnoopy]

I never understand the desire for youtubers to say a skill is "broken" I guess so they nerf it death and you get to make another video?

[pearlblack]

this s so sad. in all other diablo games, sorc class only cares about how to maximize our dps, now we only care about how to maximize our mana regeneration or we do no damage...

[Dukegroundflyer]

Loving you trying new builds you're and able to do builds in a game you're Seeming to be enjoying :)

[Ferreticious]

Okaay…since u should be also building towards vuln damage/lucky hit, the passive frigid breeze on bottom of tree to gain 15 mana on luck hit/cold + vuln literally opens up the build for ice shard builds. You dont have to sacrifice as much realestate on items. If u somewhat min/max by 60 u can do the t4 cap. Make sure to grab the vuln upgrades in tree

[bxcloud]

I think Fiery Surge is bugged. Doesn't proc with the burning from Firebolt enchantment. I tested via stat view after killing burning enemy.

[ChristianLejon]

Im a noob to Diablo in General. Im just level 21 and im enjoying the game. However all the systems is a bit overwhelming. Trying to understand what is said in videos like this but its confusing 😅

[xNobody]

I found that double frost nova is key too since at bosses you most likely wont run out of mana, you run out in mobs. Plus using a focus you can roll for a big mana cost reduction (incl cdr). I found my mana being close to infinite if played right at 25% + mana reduction. Btw you need to reroll your injured on staff, you're missing a lot of dmg since it applies when something is 35% or less - which you don't need cause you blast them away after frost nova. You need burst.

[imhakai]

Bro the most annoying thing about (Build Guide) videos is when the people dont show the entire skill board. Great info and explanation on the infinite mana but good god the way you bounced all over the board back and forth gave me a headache

[palpaladin]

You and I, are running a similar build - except I went with Supreme inferno and Wizard's meteor (as a second enchant). Another reason to get as much lucky hit as I can, but also crit% so that, that meteor imoblizes trash / spawns, and gives Elites+ a severe headache. - I swapped out Blizzard for Nova, and put it on as a panic button. Really wanted Blizzard, but I think it works best with Cold / Lightning builds. It was a 3rd wheel on mine. 👍 - oh, my first legendary on this character, at lvl18 was a +1 Hydra ring (14). I was like, "wait, wut!!" 😃

Really wish build content creators would post a link to the actual build
