If you're looking for the fastest build in Diablo 4's Season 7, the Lightning Spear Sorceress is unmatched for clearing simple content. This guide will break down the build, including gear, mechanics, and its strengths and weaknesses. Importantly, this build does not rely on any game bugs or snapshots. For players enhancing their experience and gearing up more quickly, it might be beneficial to consider where to buy Diablo 4 Gold, which can help in acquiring key items and boosting your overall efficiency in the game.
Build Performance & Limitations
From my testing, this build is able to clear a 90th pit in under 90 seconds, a 100th pit in under 2 minutes, and a 115th pit with high efficiency. For anything below a 90th pit, this witch is the fastest option available, outpacing all other builds, including the Leaping Barbarian. However, at and above 100th pit, this build starts to hit damage limits, requiring pauses to take down enemies and bosses. To get past 115th pit, using a game exploit is necessary.
Core Mechanics & Playstyle
The build revolves around constant teleportation and Lightning Ball spam, enabled by heavy cooldown reduction. Your goal is to keep Ultimate up as frequently as possible and use teleportation for mobility and evasion. Key mechanics include:
· Ultimate on Cooldown: Always activate your Ultimate when it's available.
· Lightning Ball Spamming: Hold down the skill while constantly teleporting.
· Evade for Teleportation: Map evade to your mouse scroll for seamless movement.
· Maintaining Buffs: In high-level content, activate all skills on cooldown.
Essential Gear & Stats
To ensure the build functions optimally, cooldown reduction (CDR) is the most important stat. You need the following key items:
Helmet: Harlequin Crest
· Provides a massive amount of cooldown reduction.
Chest: Shroud of False Death
· While some prefer Raiment of the Infinite for crowd control in high Pits, Shroud of False Death offers superior survivability, minor CDR, and mana regeneration.
Gloves: Legendary Gloves
· Prioritize: Intelligence, Attack Speed, Critical Damage.
· Tempering: Critical Damage, Lucky Hit Freeze.
Pants: T-Bo's Pants
· Best pants for maximizing damage.
Boots: Legendary Boots
· Prioritize: Intelligence, Max Life, Armor.
· Essential Stat: "Attacks reduce evade cooldown" - this is mandatory for the build to work properly.
· Tempering: Evade CDR, Lucky Hit Freeze.
· Aspect: Aspect of the Orange Herald (needed for Ultimate cooldown management).
Weapon: Legendary Staff
· Prioritize: Intelligence, Max Life, Critical Damage.
· Tempering: Double Damage Lightning Spear, Critical Damage.
· Aspect: Aspect of Splintering AAG (provides the most damage boost in this build).
Amulet: Legendary Amulet
· Prioritize: Intelligence, Primordial Binding (highest roll possible), Permafrost (can be swapped for Inner Flames or Glass Cannon).
· Tempering: Critical Damage, Evade CDR.
Rings: Tal Rasha's Intended Loop & Ring of Starless Skies
· Tal Rasha's Loop: Most important stat is Cooldown Reduction.
· Ring of Starless Skies: Attack Speed, Lucky Hit.
Enchantments & Runes
Enchantments
· Teleport (mandatory for mobility)
· Frost Nova (some players use Lightning Spear instead, but Frost Nova is preferable for better freeze synergy).
Runes

Conclusion
The Lightning Spear Sorceress is the fastest build for all content below Pit 90 and remains highly effective up to Pit 115. If you're looking for a speed farming powerhouse, this is the best choice in Diablo 4 Season 7. However, if your goal is to push high-tier Nightmare Dungeons or Pits beyond 115, this build will require exploits to remain viable.
