| While Diablo 3 featured the Wizard, Diablo 2 brought us the Sorceress and in Diablo 4 the class makes a return.
| |
|
| |
|
| The Diablo 4 Sorceress was revealed at BlizzCon 2019 and is Diablo 4’s true mage class. This latest incarnation of the class, like other returning classes, will likely follow in the same mould as the original which was described by Blizzard as:<blockquote>''A rebellious woman who has wrested the secrets of magic use from the male dominated Mage-Clans of the East, the Sorceress is an expert in mystical creation ex nihilo. Though somewhat lacking in the [[skills]] of hand-to-hand combat, she compensates for this weakness with fierce combative magic for both offense and defense. Solitary and reclusive, the Sorceress acts based on motives and ethics inscrutable to most, and sometimes seems capricious and even spiteful. In reality, she understands the struggle between Order and Chaos all too clearly, as well as her role as a warrior in this battle.''</blockquote>The Sorceress’s main abilities in Diablo 2 focused around cold, fire, and lightning. In development, Diablo IV looks to be remaining faithful to the elemental tour de force.

| == Diablo 4 Sorceress Skill Tree == | | == Sorcerer Fundamentals== |
| On 29 December 2020, Blizzard revealed a major change to the way in which skills and passives would be presented to the player. Blizzard showed a revamped Sorceress skill and passives tree which can be seen below.
| |
|
| |
|
| * The square skills are where players add skill points. | | * Resource: [[Mana]] - Refills automatically |
| * The round nodes can be activated to augment the skills players have unlocked | | * Weapon Slots: - 2 x 1 handed weapons. 1 x 2 handed weapon. |
| * Along the branches are also passive nodes which can be activated. | | * Dismount Skill: [[Freezing Wake]] |
| * At the bottom of the tree in the root system, there are nodes that can be activated to provide “powerful effects”. | | * [[Sorcerer Skill Tree]]s: |
| * Blizzard has stated that players will not be able to acquire every Skill Tree node. By end-game, only 30-40% will be filled. | | **[[Sorcerer_Skill_Tree#Basic|Basic]] - Elemental damage skills that don't cost mana so always available to use. No Cooldowns. |
| | **[[Sorcerer_Skill_Tree#Core|Core]] - Elemental damage at the cost of mana. No Cooldowns. |
| | **[[Sorcerer_Skill_Tree#Defensive|Defensive]] - These mitigate damage received and increase survivability. They don't cost mana but do have Cooldowns. |
| | **[[Sorcerer_Skill_Tree#Conjuration|Conjuration]] - Summon elemental entities. They don't cost mana. |
| | **[[Sorcerer_Skill_Tree#Mastery|Mastery]] - Heavy-duty damage. Cost mana but don't have Cooldowns. |
| | **[[Sorcerer_Skill_Tree#Ultimate|Ultimate]] - Offensive and defensive. They don't cost mana but have long Cooldowns. |
| | **[[Sorcerer_Skill_Tree#Key Passives|Key Passives]] |
| | * Sorcerer Specialization: |

| === Cold Talent Tree === | | ==Sorcerer / Sorceress History== |
| {| class="wikitable"
| | The female mage clan of [[Zann Esu]] is one of the oldest of the ancient [[clans]], although little is actually known about them. Centuries ago, the fourteen powerful covens of Esu witches convened for the first time in generations. What they discussed is not known, but the witches [[Left Behind|left behind]] their former lives and, as a group, disappeared into the Eastern Jungles. |
| !Talent
| | |
| !Icon
| | The exact location of their community is a mystery. Until recently, their only contact with the outside world occurred during the recruitment missions. Once every seven years, the [[Zann Esu]] visited certain families across [[Sanctuary]]. These families had one thing in common — they each had a seven-year-old daughter. Always good-natured and polite, the [[Zann Esu]] visitors would meet the girls, ask a few questions, and then leave. A select few of the girls were visited a second time and offered apprenticeships. The families of those chosen enjoyed good fortune for many years after. |
| !Effect
| | |
| |-
| | The [[Zann Esu]], or Sorceresses as they are generally known, are on a quest for purity, the pursuit of the perfect magic. They feel the other disciplines of magic are haphazard and have instead chosen to focus strictly upon elemental magic. They mold the base elements into whatever magical forms they need — threatening all other magic disciplines with obsolescence. In order to achieve perfection in these elemental transmutations, they choose only those daughters of [[Sanctuary]] with the highest level of attunement to the magical elements. |
| |'''Numbing Cold'''
| | |
| |[[File:Numbing-cold-sorceress-talent-diablo-4.png|alt=Numbing Cold|none|thumb]]
| | The Sorceresses believe that it is through the search for perfection that they will attain ultimate purity and ascend to their destined role as the most powerful mages in [[Sanctuary]]. For centuries they have studied in secret, perfecting their art and bidding their time until the Emergence of Evil. Then, they will face their greatest challenge, either proving the purity of their magic or fading from existence. |
| |Chilled enemies deal 4% less damage to you per point.

| == Sorceress Enchantment System ==
| |
| Revealed on 29 September 2020, the Enchantment System hooks into the skill slots the players use for every class. However, with the Sorceress, skills can also be placed into an Enchantment slot. If you place a skill in the Enchantment slot, you can no longer use it as an active skill, but your character instead gains a secondary bonus power.[[File:Sorceress-Enchanment-System-1.jpg|alt=Sorceress Enchantment System|none|thumb|Note the empty round slot above the main skill slots.]]
| |
|
| |
|
| A skill can now be placed into the empty slot giving the following result.

| | ''Archive updated 29 September 2020'' |
| Below is an example of this system using the Meteor skill. Meteor allows you to call a fiery chunk of rock from the sky. If you choose to slot it as an Enchantment, you won’t be able to control your Meteors, but they’ll fall onto enemies periodically. This skill is still under development and may be different in the final game.

| == Sorceress History ==
| |
| The female mage clan of Zann Esu is one of the oldest of the ancient clans, although little is actually known about them. Centuries ago, the fourteen powerful covens of Esu witches convened for the first time in generations. What they discussed is not known, but the witches left behind their former lives and, as a group, disappeared into the Eastern Jungles.
| |
|
| |
|
| The exact location of their community is a mystery. Until recently, their only contact with the outside world occurred during the recruitment missions. Once every seven years, the Zann Esu visited certain families across [[Sanctuary]]. These families had one thing in common — they each had a seven-year-old daughter. Always good-natured and polite, the Zann Esu visitors would meet the girls, ask a few questions, and then leave. A select few of the girls were visited a second time and offered apprenticeships. The families of those chosen enjoyed good fortune for many years after.
| | === Skill Trees=== |
|
| |
|
| The Zann Esu, or Sorceresses as they are generally known, are on a quest for purity, the pursuit of the perfect magic. They feel the other disciplines of magic are haphazard and have instead chosen to focus strictly upon elemental magic. They mold the base elements into whatever magical forms they need — threatening all other magic disciplines with obsolescence. In order to achieve perfection in these elemental transmutations, they choose only those daughters of Sanctuary with the highest level of attunement to the magical elements.
| | Prior to the September 29 2020 developer update, the Diablo 4 Sorceress [[skills]] and passive trees were presented to the player in a typical Diablo style. When looking at the tree further, [[Blizzard]] decided to change the tree to include both [[skills]] and passives in a single tree (see above). [[Blizzard]] did not discuss the [[skills]] themselves or [[skills]] that would be removed or added at that time. [[Below]] is the original tree designs prior to that developer update. |
|
| |
|
| The Sorceresses believe that it is through the search for perfection that they will attain ultimate purity and ascend to their destined role as the most powerful mages in Sanctuary. For centuries they have studied in secret, perfecting their art and bidding their time until the Emergence of Evil. Then, they will face their greatest challenge, either proving the purity of their magic or fading from existence.

| | ===Diablo 4 Sorcerer Skill Tree=== |
| | On 29 December 2020, [[Blizzard]] revealed a major change to the way in which [[skills]] and passives would be presented to the player. [[Blizzard]] showed a revamped Sorceress skill and passives tree which can be seen [[below]]. |
| | |
| | *The square [[skills]] are where players add skill points. |
| | * The round nodes can be activated to augment the [[skills]] players have unlocked |
| | *Along the branches are also passive nodes which can be activated. |
| | *At the bottom of the tree in the root system, there are nodes that can be activated to provide “powerful effects”. |
| | *[[Blizzard]] has stated that players will not be able to acquire every Skill Tree node. By end-game, only 30-40% will be filled. |
