Sorcerers were doing too much magic for Diablo 4's servers to handle, so Blizzard nerfed their most popular build

A chaotic new sorcerer build in Diablo 4's latest season was so strong it was killing more than demons. The servers, it seems, couldn't handle players filling their screens with lightning bolts and frozen orbs, so Blizzard had to step in yesterday and fix it.

Thanks to a new legendary power in season 5, sorcerers can now zap monsters for loads of damage with their lightning spear skill, but you need the unique Fractured Winterglass amulet to summon a bunch of them at once. Every time you cast a frozen orb with the amulet on, it can spawn a magical pet, or conjuration, that casts its own frozen orbs which reduce lightning spear's normally long cooldown. With the right gear, an army of these little guys throwing snowballs at enemies lets you spam tons of lightning spears in seconds.
