↖ Understanding Tier List

The tier list consists of several ranks, from S (Superior) to F (Failing), based on how well-suited a build is for speed farming and overall power levels. However, this tier list may change depending on new information or players adapting to patch changes. Nevertheless, these builds are expected to perform well against nightmare dungeon level 100 which is Season 3 core challenge.

↖ C-Tier and Below: Niche Builds with Potential

These tiers contain less-than-optimal builds that may still be enjoyed by people who prefer certain play styles or are looking for a challenge. Frenzy Barbarian and Ice Sorcerer are examples of such builds. They might not dominate post-endgame content but they can still go through nightmare dungeons if played strategically and geared up well enough.

↖ B-Tier Builds: Solid Choices with Room for Fun

• Arlash Barbarian: Increased damage and AOE ability have been brought about by different aspects of this build.
• Whirlwind Druid: Whirlwind Druid may seem not so powerful compared to others but it can still be good especially with the boon buff.
• Shred Druid: Despite being nerfed in terms of its prior strength, Shred Druid could still remain as a fun way to clear lower level content quickly.

↖ A-Tier Builds: Exceptional Power and Speed

• Meteor Fire Wall Sorcerer: In this build there is now an infinite chain meteor through a new helm which makes it particularly effective against large groups of enemies.
• Blizzard Sorcerer: This build has remained just as strong dealing epic amount since its inception without any major changes.
• Ball Lightning Sorcerer: Despite possible nerfs, this build will still remain very effective due to the flexibility of its damage.
• Range Rogue: Range Rogue builds are now on the rise due to buffs to ranged abilities and improvement in melee imbues offering a new take on what exactly is possible with this class.
• Bone Spear Necromancer: This build gets appreciation from being a fast one-shot wonder. Moreover, an additional ring has been introduced which boosts its damage considerably.

↖ S-Tier Builds: The Cream of the Crop

• Lightning Storm Druid: It has an enormous range and AoE potential making it one of the strongest builds in the game still. Furthermore, its damage was made more powerful by adding another unique item into it thereby making it one withstanding any player.
• Charge Barbarian: With significant cooldown reductions and damage increases, Charge Barbarian remains powerful while also being excellent for leveling.
• Hammer of the Ancients (HOTA) Barbarian: Though nerfed in terms of damage output, HOTA Barbarian still screams at other top tier builds due to its ability to deal high amounts damage.

↖ Conclusion: Choosing Your Build

While S and A-tier builds are recommended because of their power and efficiency, Diablo 4 features many viable options that cater for different preferences.
