Sorcerer Enchantment System - Class Mechanic

Part of the Sorceresses class mechanic the Enchantement System' allows you to add a selected skill to the skills Enchantment slot (Press S key to bring it up) and gain a bonus passive power from that skill. The Skill can still be used as an active skill.

Each skill offers something quite different whether it's dropping a random Meteor or increasing the chances of chilling a target. These Enchantment effects are passive so they happen automatically.

Enchantment Slot

• First Enchantment slot unlocks at level 15 with the completion of the Sorcerer class quest. The second slot automatically unlocks at level 30.
• You must have assigned at least one point to the skill. It won't be available to use as an Enchantment if the only points in it are from items.
• The Enchantments cost zero mana when they activate.
• Skills in the Enchantment slot can be swapped out at any time, on the fly at no cost. Simply drag and drop your new choice into the slot.
• All active skills from the Basic, Core, Defensive, Conjuration and Mastery trees come with an Enchantment possibility and you can view all of those below in the expandable table.

Sorcerer / Sorceress History

The female mage clan of Zann Esu is one of the oldest of the ancient clans, although little is actually known about them. Centuries ago, the fourteen powerful covens of Esu witches convened for the first time in generations. What they discussed is not known, but the witches left behind their former lives and, as a group, disappeared into the Eastern Jungles.

The exact location of their community is a mystery. Until recently, their only contact with the outside world occurred during the recruitment missions. Once every seven years, the Zann Esu visited certain families across Sanctuary. These families had one thing in common — they each had a seven-year-old daughter. Always good-natured and polite, the Zann Esu visitors would meet the girls, ask a few questions, and then leave. A select few of the girls were visited a second time and offered apprenticeships. The families of those chosen enjoyed good fortune for many years after.

The Zann Esu, or Sorceresses as they are generally known, are on a quest for purity, the pursuit of the perfect magic. They feel the other disciplines of magic are haphazard and have instead chosen to focus strictly upon elemental magic. They mold the base elements into whatever magical forms they need — threatening all other magic disciplines with obsolescence. In order to achieve perfection in these elemental transmutations, they choose only those daughters of Sanctuary with the highest level of attunement to the magical elements.

The Sorceresses believe that it is through the search for perfection that they will attain ultimate purity and ascend to their destined role as the most powerful mages in Sanctuary. For centuries they have studied in secret, perfecting their art and bidding their time until the Emergence of Evil. Then, they will face their greatest challenge, either proving the purity of their magic or fading from existence.

The Zann Esu oracles have decreed that the time of the Emergence is at hand. The destruction of the Prime Evils is to be the great test of their clan. Recently, Sorceresses have appeared mysteriously throughout Sanctuary to do battle with the minions of evil wherever they are found. – Compiled by Flux

Skill Trees

Prior to the September 29 2020 developer update, the Diablo 4 Sorceress skills and passive trees were presented to the player in a typical Diablo style. When looking at the tree further, Blizzard decided to change the tree to include both skills and passives in a single tree (see above). Blizzard did not discuss the skills themselves or skills that would be removed or added at that time. Below is the original tree designs prior to that developer update.

Skill Tree - Sept 2020

Diablo 4 Sorcerer Skill Tree

On 29 December 2020, Blizzard revealed a major change to the way in which skills and passives would be presented to the player. Blizzard showed a revamped Sorceress skill and passives tree which can be seen below.

• The square skills are where players add skill points.
• The round nodes can be activated to augment the skills players have unlocked
• Along the branches are also passive nodes which can be activated.
• At the bottom of the tree in the root system, there are nodes that can be activated to provide “powerful effects”.
• Blizzard has stated that players will not be able to acquire every Skill Tree node. By end-game, only 30-40% will be filled.

Old Talent System

Old Enchantment System

Below are shots of the old Enchantment system interface revealed on 29 September 2020.

Previously, if you placed a skill in the Enchantment slot, you could o longer use it as an active skill, but your character instead gaines a secondary bonus power.

This was changed slightly where the skill could be used and the an extra power was attached to each skill.

Note the empty round slot above the main skill slots.
