Diablo 4 Sorcerer Leveling Build
Level a Sorcerer on one lightning spender plus Teleport until level 70. Ball Lightning is the Season 15 endgame line this path hands off to. Crackling Energy is the alternative if you prefer procs.
Start with a basic that returns Mana and a single spender. Add Teleport as soon as it is on the tree. A barrier skill comes before a second damage skill.
Enchantment slots should hold one free cast and one defensive proc. Do not fill both with damage until Mana on kill exists on your gear.
Stay on that bar through Penitent. Respec into Ball Lightning when Mana on kill and Teleport cooldown reduction are both on your gear. Charged Bolts is the other lightning option if Ball Lightning feels starved.
At 70, clear Pit tier 10 for Torment I. The endgame Sorcerer build page covers the Torment gear.
Sorcerer leveling does not use Dawnfire. That unique is Paladin gloves from Andariel.

It is a second-band endgame build. It farms Torment. It is not ahead of Blessed Hammer Paladin or Blazing Scream Warlock on push.
