Diablo 4 Season 3 Best Class & Build After Nerfs and Buffs 

What is the best class for Diablo IV Season 3? Sorcerer is an incredible class to use in Season 3, the Sorc receives some buffs to its skills and there is a new unique D4 item added. Based on the class changes, what Sorc builds are getting stronger, and which turns weaker? Meteor would be one of the main winners, and Lightning Spear gets some needed utility. But, Ball Lightning will be nerfed, and everything else kind of hovers around the same place. 


D4 Sorcerer Class Changes in Season 3

- Lightning Spear Critical Strikes now can make enemies Vulnerable. If you are playing a lightning Sorcerer build, you can have Lightning Spear going out and get the extra cooldown on your bar, now you can use it as a range, consistent Vulnerable applier, which makes your build much better.  

- Some buffs to Paragon Legendary Nodes. It's going to affect Elemental Summoner, which is a Conjuration skill lower Cooldown or Mana cost. 

- Meteor build is getting some updates/buffs, and primarily that's being achieved with the new unique.
