The Fastest Build in Diablo 4: The Permanent Teleport Hydra Sorcerer

If you've ever wondered what it feels like to teleport at the speed of light while melting entire packs of enemies with aggressive, auto-targeting Hydras, then you're in for a treat. The Permanent Teleport Hydra Sorcerer isn't just one of the fastest builds in Diablo 4-it's easily one of the most fun and powerful setups in the game right now. This guide breaks down exactly how to make this build work, whether you're stacked with Uber Uniques or just working with legendaries.

The Core Concept: Speed + Aggression

The soul of this build lies in a game-changing interaction: combining Teleport Enchantment, Evade cooldown reduction, and spammable offensive abilities like Ball Lightning and Hydra to create a constant flow of movement and destruction. The result is a Sorcerer who zips across the battlefield, auto-spawns Hydras, and disintegrates everything in sight-without ever needing to touch Teleport on your skill bar.

Build Mechanics: How It Works

Teleport Enchantment

You're not placing Teleport on your bar. Instead, you equip it as an Enchantment, unlocking the passive ability to teleport automatically when you Evade. But here's the kicker-Evade has a cooldown, and that's where the real magic begins.

Cooldown Reduction on Evade

To make this build possible, you must have the "attacks reduce Evade cooldown" affix on your boots. Without this, you can't reach the insane speed this build is known for.

Evade → Cast Spell (e.g., Ball Lightning) → Evade Again

Repeat infinitely.

Spells like Ball Lightning or Lightning Spear reduce your Evade cooldown with every cast. Once your cooldown hits around 1.5 seconds or less, the build becomes a perma-teleport machine.

How to Play It

1.Hold down right-click (or whatever your primary spell is bound to-e.g., Ball Lightning).

2.Spam Evade manually (or use mouse wheel scroll for comfort).

3.Alternate spells like Lightning Spear, Unstable Currents, or Hydra in between Evades.

4.Profit as you blur across the map at warp speed.

Why Hydra?

Hydras are now extremely aggressive thanks to Season 9 AI improvements. They're tanky, auto-target everything, and they one-shot in Torment, Nightmare Dungeons, and Pits. You just evade and summon, and they clean house for you. You don't even need to aim-just spam and let them eat.

Key Items & Gear Priorities

To reach that buttery smooth 1.5-second Evade cooldown, here's what you need:

Uber Setup

 Harlequin Crest (Shako): Insane cooldown reduction.

 Tal Rasha's Iridescent Loop: Evade cooldown implicit + attack speed.

 Boots with Evade Cooldown Implicit: Mandatory.

Weapon Choice:

 1H + Off-Hand: More cooldown and attack speed.

o2H Staff: Still viable, but slightly slower.

 Chest (Shroud of False Death): Boosts cooldown with Evocation passive.

Non-Uber Alternative

 Ale of Verglas (Helmet): Offers cooldown, attack speed, and intelligence.

 Raiments or standard chest: Acceptable alternatives until you can get Ubers.

 Still aim for: Boots + Ring cooldown, Enchantment Mastery node, and as many cooldown rolls as possible.

Even without Ubers, you'll still have 3-second Evade cooldown, which is faster than any other class's mobility in Diablo 4.

Advanced Tips & Synergies

Paragon Board: Enchantment Master

You must use the Enchantment Master glyph or Paragon node. It strengthens your Teleport Enchantment, reducing base cooldown and helping you maintain that 1.5-second goal.

Runes: Sur + Vex

 Sur Rune: Activates Vex Rune effects for more ranks in Teleport.

 Vex Rune: Reduces cooldown of Enchantment-based Teleport even further.

Activate Sur by casting Ball Lightning five times. Boom-Evade cooldown drops from 2.0 to 1.7 seconds instantly.

Rotation

 Hold Ball Lightning or Hydra

 Spam Evade

 Cast Lightning Spear, Unstable Currents, and other cooldown skills as they pop

 Drop Hydras on elites for instant kills

 Use Ball Lightning when mobs are sparse

Elixirs & Buffs

Before running Nightmare or Pit content, make sure to prep:

 Resource Elixirs (for smooth Hydra spam)

 Sage's Whisper + Soothing Spice

 Armor Elixirs (for survivability while speeding through elite packs)

Pit and Dungeon Runs

In Tier 79 Pits, this build blasts through in under a minute. With a group? Sub-30 second runs are possible.

Hydras will eat trash mobs while you focus on:

 Keeping movement fluid

 Spawning Hydras on elites

 Saving Ball Lightning for downtime or stragglers

 Bosses? Just toss a couple of Ball Lightnings and maybe swap to Inferno if needed-but most of the time, Hydras are enough.Final Thoughts: Is This the Best Build of the Season?

Without a doubt, yes. The Permanent Teleport Hydra Sorcerer build is not only:

 Blazing fast

 Effortless to pilot

 Highly customizable

 But also incredibly satisfying

Even with no Ubers, it outpaces most builds. With Ubers, it becomes a flashing god of death, blinking across the map and wiping everything in your path.

Use your Diablo 4 Items and Diablo IV Gold to build it now! Whether you're running Torment bosses, Pit 79s, or farming scattered prisms-this build performs everywhere.
