Build Introduction
The Incinerate Sorcerer leveling build in Diablo 4 focuses on unleashing a powerful beam of fire that devastates enemies. This build excels at clearing groups of enemies efficiently and dealing significant damage to bosses. It is an excellent choice for starting a new character in Season 4 due to Haedrig's Gift, which provides equipment tailored for Incinerate Sorcerers.
