D2R Blizzard Sorc Build 2.6 Guide - Diablo 2 Resurrected Season 3 Best Build for Sorceress

This is a Blizzard Sorc MF build in D2R 2.6 and the main purpose of the gear used here is for magic find. There are several different gear options to go with for this Sorceress build by fuRyD2. Let’s take a look at the endgame setup first and budget Diablo 2 items you can use.

Blizzard Sorc 2.6 Stats

For your stats, it is going to be different depending on your gear, put enough points to equip the required gear, a little dexterity for some blocking, and all remaining points into vitality for life.

- Strength 177

- Dexterity 197

- Vitality 332

- Energy 77

Blizzard Sorc 2.6 Skill Tree

When it comes to skills, what to focus on is the cold spells. You're going to max out Blizzard, that's your main attack and then you're gonna max out Glacial Spike, Ice Blast, and Ice Bolt, those are all synergies. Then put at least one point into Frozen Armor for some defense and at least one point into Cold Mastery for Sunder charm, if you don't have Sunder charm, then put some more points into this for lightning skills. Next, you're going to put one point on Static Field, this will help you get the boss's life to halfway and put one point to Teleport for your fire skills. Lastly, put at least one point into Warmth, this will help regenerate your mana.

- Cold Spells: Blizzard 20, Glacial Spike, Ice Blast 20, Ice Bolt 20, Frozen Armor 1, Cold Mastery 1

- Lightning Spells: Static Field 1, Teleport 1

- Fire Spells: Warmth 1

Blizzard Sorc 2.6 End-Game Gear

Starting with the endgame gear for the Blizzard Sorc build, if you want to be tankier, you can wear the full Tal Rasha's set, the bonuses from the set can be pretty rewarding, giving you resistance, skills, and magic find. On the weapon, you'll get negative 15 to enemy resistances as well as a skill point, the armor, belt, and amulet all give you a faster cast rate, the hardest part for this is obtaining the armor and the amulet at the beginning of a season as they can be very expensive. You can also switch out your helmet to Shako. In addition, the Rhyme shield is quite easy to make and it gives you 25 magic find as well as some other benefits like mana regeneration, and resistance, and cannot be frozen. War Travelers are going to be your boot for pretty much any setup that you wear, giving up to 50 magic find, Chance Guards give up to 40 percent magic find you can also find these in normal. The rings are depending on your needs, here we have two Nagelrings to give up to 30 magic find. With this setup, you'll have 6.6K blizzard damage, you'll have decent resistances, decent life, 52 max blocking, and 459 magic find, which is pretty nice.
