It’s so useful: it lets you reposition yourself on the battlefield very easily, in order to kite enemies, get out of bad stuff on the ground, dodge out of enemy attacks, move around faster, and more. Teleport is probably my favorite skill in the game. The Flame Shield Enchantment prevents your death once every 120 seconds, activating Flame Shield instead! This can be extremely good depending on what kind of content you’re tackling, so keep that option in mind. Whether you’re using those active spells for defense or not, remember that Flame Shield has a very good secondary use when it comes to survival: its Enchantment effect. It can be a hefty investment of up to nine points, but it frees you from having to keep refreshing your armor or shield in combat, and lets you use more offensive spells too. To that end, I highly recommend investing a few points into the Align the Elements, Protection, and Mana Shield passives. Personally, I’m more of a “the best defense is a good offense” kind of player, and I prefer to save my precious skill slots for offensive abilities, while getting my defensive boost passively. These help you survive and can also add a lot of utility, since Ice Armor can be improved with talents to give you some mana regeneration, while Flame Shield also damages enemies, which will often have synergy with your other Fire spells. Many Sorcerers like to pick the two big defensive skills, Ice Armor and Flame Shield. Which skills should I pick to survive more as a Sorcerer in Diablo 4? So read on to find out which talents and abilities you should be picking, which items you should be looking for, as well as a few gameplay tips in order to stop dying and start living for longer as a Sorcerer or Sorceress.
