Demon Machine Sorceress

The Demon Machine Sorceress is a Sorceress build in Diablo II: Resurrected. It is a sub-class of the Enchantress build.

General Information

The release of Patch 2.6 greatly buffed the effect of Enchant on ranged weapons. The way the Demon Machine crossbow interacts with Enchant, recently introduced gear, and Fire Mastery allows sorceresses to reach heights of damage output that allow them to quickly clear most areas, even on players 8 difficulty.

Gear

Helmet:

• Flickering Flame Rune Word: the +3 fire skills and -10-15% enemy fire resist makes this easily the best helmet for this build.

Armor:
