I’ve been diving into heavy attack builds for Sorcerers and noticed that most of them only use four pieces of Sergeant’s Mail. I’d love to understand why that is, since it seems like it should be really powerful with the heavy attack buffs. As a new player, I’m a bit confused about the whole setup.

Yep, that’s right! The reason you see four pieces is that the weapon, like staves and two-handed melee weapons, counts as two for the set bonus, so you’re still getting the five-piece bonus overall.
Actually, most of these builds do run five pieces! They typically equip two rings, a chest piece, and a lightning staff, since two-handed weapons count as two pieces for the set bonuses.
Just to clarify, you really want to include a lightning staff or a two-handed weapon to maximize those set bonuses. Looks like a five-piece set up is the way to go for heavy attack Sorcs!
