If you’ve just jumped into Diablo 4, you may be wondering which class – and which build – is the most effective for discovering Sanctuary and completing the main storyline. Conversely, once you’re there, you’ll probably want to know what the best build is for tackling the endgame and World Bosses.
That’s why we’ve listed and ranked the best Diablo 4 builds for each character class. We have created a tier list dedicated to leveling, and the other to endgame.
These tier lists will be regularly updated as new builds are discovered. In addition, we will be sure to offer you a PvP tier list as soon as Season 1 launches.
Whether you’re just curious to find out how your favorite class is doing, or you’re looking for the best build for your class, you’ll find what you’re looking for with our Diablo 4 build tier list!

Is your favorite class at the top of the tier list?
The best leveling builds in Diablo 4 (PvE)
The list of third parties below presents the best leveling builds in Diablo 4. These builds will be particularly effective at starting your adventure, and will take you without problem up to level 50 and until the end of the main story.
Generally, these builds require very few – if any – specific Aspects, or at least only Aspects that you can easily find in early game dungeons.
Tier S
Tier S represents the best builds in Diablo 4. If you want to exterminate all the demons and other creatures in your path, you can’t go wrong with one of these builds. In the current meta, the powerful Sorcerer reigns supreme.
| Class | Build |
|---|---|
| Wizard | Chain Lightning Sorcerer |
| Thief | Twisting Blades Rogue |
| Wizard | Firewall Sorcerer |
Tier A
If none of the Tier A builds appeal to you, why not try a Tier A build? These are also very powerful and popular builds, bordering on Tier S quality. Here, we find builds for the Thief and the Sorcerer at the top of the stack.
| Class | Build |
|---|---|
| Necromancer | Necromancer Bone Spear Necro |
| Thief | Flurry Rogue |
| Wizard | Ice Shards Sorcerer |
| Wizard | Arc Lash Sorcerer |
| Thief | Flood Thief (Rogue Dam) |
| Thief | Penetrating Shot Rogue |
| Necromancer | Necromancer Section (Sever Necro) |
| Necromancer | Necromancer Ghoulish Festering Blast (Blight CE Necro) |
| Druid | Pulverize Druid |
Tier B
While the builds below aren’t considered as powerful as a Tier S and A build, each one is worth a try if you like the class. Unfortunately for Druid and Barbarian enthusiasts, you will have to settle for Tier B, even for the best leveling builds.
| Class | Build |
|---|---|
| Druid | Tornado Druid |
| Necromancer | Necromancer Blood Surge Necro |
| Barbaric | Barbarian Tear (Renders Barbarian) |
| Barbaric | Barbarian Hammer of the Ancients (HotA Barb) |
Tier C
C-Tier builds are not considered as efficient as those above, and will be significantly slower than their higher-tier counterparts. However, even Tier C builds are perfectly viable, provided you are willing to go a little slower than average.
| Class | Build |
|---|---|
| Druid | Shred Druid |
| Barbaric | Barbarian Uprising (Upheaval Barbarian) |
| Necromancer | Summoner Sever Necromancer |
| Druid | Druide Orage (Lightning Storm Druid) |
| Druid | Landslide Druid |
The best endgame builds in Diablo 4 (PvE)
The best endgame builds must excel against World Bosses
Just because a build allows you to level up doesn’t mean it will be effective for Diablo 4’s endgame content. Indeed, the arrival of higher difficulty levels and World Bosses completely changes the situation..
The best endgame builds are radically different from leveling builds. they are usually built around excellent aspect synergies that create absolutely devastating combos.
Tier S
The S-Tier builds below represent the absolute pinnacle of Diablo 4’s best endgame builds. Interestingly, the only class not represented here is the Sorcerer, which is the best leveling class.
| Class | Build |
|---|---|
| Thief | Death Trap Rogue |
| Thief | Twisting Blades Rogue |
| Thief | Flood Thief (Rogue Dam) |
| Druid | Lightning Shred Druid |
| Druid | Druide Loup/Tornade (Werewolf Tornado Druid) |
| Druid | Druide Orage (Lightning Storm Druid) |
| Necromancer | Necromancer Bone Spear Necro |
Tier A
Right behind the best builds are a nice slew of excellent builds for several classes. These are extremely effective, although they lack a little something to match the best meta builds.
| Class | Build |
|---|---|
| Druid | Pulverizing Druid |
| Thief | Rapid Fire Rogue |
| Thief | Penetrating Shot Rogue |
| Thief | Flurry Rogue |
| Barbaric | Barbare Tourbillon (Whirlwind Barbarian) |
| Barbaric | Barbarian Hammer of the Ancients (HotA Barbarian) |
| Necromancer | Bloodmist Necromancer (Infinimist Necromancer) |
Tier B
We enter the middle of the table with viable builds, but which have real weaknesses or are not as fast as their colleagues in the Upper Tiers.
| Class | Build |
|---|---|
| Wizard | Ball Lightning Sorcerer |
| Wizard | Ice Shards Sorcerer |
| Wizard | Firewall Sorcerer |
| Wizard | Blizzard Sorcerer |
| Barbaric | Barbarian Tear (Renders Barbarian) |
| Barbaric | Thorn Barbarian |
| Barbaric | Barbare Arsenal Ambulant (Walking Arsenal Barbarian) |
| Druid | Trampleside Druid |
| Druid | Stormclaw Druid |
| Druid | Poison Shred Druid |
| Necromancer | Necromancer Section (Sever Necromancer) |
| Necromancer | Necromancer Ghoulish Festering Explosion (Blight CE Necromancer) |
| Necromancer | Blood Lance Necromancer |
Tier C
We end with Tier C. Don’t be discouraged if your favorite build is there, because the simple fact that we include a build in this tier list is an assurance of its viability. Just expect to be a little below meta builds in terms of damage and/or survivability.
| Class | Build |
|---|---|
| Wizard | Arc Lash Sorcerer |
| Wizard | Chain Lightning Sorcerer |
| Necromancer | Blood Surge Necromancer |
| Necromancer | Bone Spirit Necromancer |
| Necromancer | Shadow Summoner Necromancer |
| Necromancer | Summoner Necromancer |
| Barbaric | Barbare Coup double (Double Swing Barbarian) |
The best PvP builds in Diablo 4
We will have to wait a few more weeks before we really have an overview of the PvP builds and their place in the tier list.
However, it is already possible to get a good idea of the best PvP build for each class:
| Class | Build |
|---|---|
| Wizard | Ice Shards Sorcerer |
| Barbaric | Barbare Tourbillon (Whirlwind Barbarian) |
| Druid | Trampleside Druid |
| Necromancer | Necromancer Bone Spear Necro |
| Thief | Twisting Blades Rogue |
There you have it, the third party lists for the best Diablo 4 builds, whether for leveling or for endgame. We will soon add the list of third parties for the best PvP once the meta evolves.
