There are fewer enemies on the screen at any time, and each spell you cast spends more mana, so you’re going to be pressing fewer buttons before you run out of resources - which means that each button press is more relevant, and needs to be considered more carefully. Some differences come from the game itself, not just the classĬombat in Diablo 4 is more deliberate than it was in Diablo 3 - in that sense, Diablo 4 feels like a continuation of Diablo 2. With the Sorcerer, your spells won’t be altered that drastically, so you’re picking your elemental type not based just on your preference, but rather, on what kind of gameplay you want to have. You could cast your big spell as Fire, or use a rune to change it to Arcane. Which brings another difference to mind: the Wizard toolkit included several different elements for the same spells. Choosing the right abilities that play off one another feels more intricate than simply picking skills that have the same “elemental flavor,” as was often the case with the Wizard. One of your Frost spells might chill enemies, while another might make enemies vulnerable if you hit them while they’re chilled.
Your skills feed off one another through their secondary effects. This is reflected in gameplay: The Sorcerer is more synergistic in skill selection. The Sorcerer feels more like a “classic” spellcaster. The Wizard felt like a superhero, manipulating the very fabric of the universe to do their bidding. Signature abilities for the Wizard included galaxy-like Arcane Orbs and Disintegrate beams of raw magical power. The Wizard used the elements as well, but had more of a penchant for the Arcane.
The most obvious difference is that Sorcerer is an elementalist class, focusing on Fire, Frost, and Lightning skills. How familiar will it feel? Will you be able to adapt to the new style? So let’s investigate just how different it feels to play the Sorcerer - which we last saw in Diablo 2 - if you’re used to playing a Diablo 3 Wizard. The spellcaster archetype has always existed in the Diablo series, but there are a few more differences between Diablo 4 Sorcerers and Diablo 3 Wizards than just the name.
