In this tier list, we show you the best classes, builds, and equipment for Season 20 in Diablo 3. New sets from Barbarian, Wizard, and Witch Doctor from Patch 2.6.8 are included.
What is happening in Diablo 3? The start date of Season 20 is today, March 13, 2020. All participants of the season start again at “zero”. If you create a seasonal character, it starts at level 1 and has nothing at first. No Paragon points from previous adventures either.
Everything you need to know about the start of Season 20 in Diablo 3.
Playing this season is worthwhile for you if you collect cosmetic items from past seasons and completely new companions and portrait frames.
What makes Season 20 different? The new season theme allows you to create completely new compositions in Kanai’s Cube. You no longer have to necessarily pair a weapon with an armor piece and a piece of jewelry, but you can also choose 3 weapon attributes that are active at the same time. Players want to keep the season theme from S20, but Blizzard says “no”.
Who created this tier list? The tier list shown here comes from Diablo expert Bluddshed. The community celebrates the YouTuber and Twitch streamer (YouTube channel, Twitch channel) for his analyses, expert knowledge, and his experiments with off-meta builds.
He regularly publishes tier lists for current patches in Diablo 3 and shows the strongest classes and builds in the current meta.
We present Bluddshed’s tier list for Season 20 of Diablo 3 here. Even with his tier list for Season 19, the expert was very accurate.
What do the tiers in the tier list mean? This tier list assigns builds from Season 20 to various potential tiers. Builds in the “S” category are considered the strongest of the season. Builds in the “C” category are weaker.
Despite these tiers, all builds are good. A build from the C tier can be played well and can also push Greater Nephalem Rifts. However, builds from the S tier have more potential to reach higher G-Rifts.
In general, this tier list should be seen as a rough guide and not as the absolute truth. The listing could still change during the season.
With all these builds, you can complete Greater Rifts level 70 without further problems. You need this milestone to unlock the ancient items. They are among the strongest items in Diablo 3.
You will learn here: On this and the next pages, we introduce you to the three potentially best builds for each class. By clicking on the name of the build, you will be redirected to corresponding websites that show you all items, skills, and gems that the respective build requires.
LoN and LoD are abbreviations for the legacy items.
- LoN: Legacy of Nightmares – Legacy of Nightmares
- LoD: Legacy of Dreams – Legacy of Dreams
The 3 best builds of the Barbarian in Season 20
With the Barbarian, you will find one of the strongest sets from Season 20. With WW-Rend, you will be well-served if you want to reach the top in the Greater Nephalem Rifts. But the new set also performs well and should be tried out.
- S-Tier: WW-Rend (via Diablofans.com) – Many of you loved the Whirlwind Barbarian in Season 19. Even in Season 20, the Whirlwind is still at the forefront and will likely lead the rankings in solo pushing. – By the way, also super suitable for speed farming.
- A-Tier: Frenzy (via Diablofans.com) – The new Barbarian set, Horde of the Ninety Savages, brings the Frenzy build back into the top lists of Diablo 3. Try this set with this build. Even if it is not the strongest, you will have a lot of fun with this build.
- B-Tier: Seismic Barb (Seismic Slam) (via Diablofans.com) – A build that allows you to be mobile and not have to stand inside the mobs. In Season 19, the Seismic Barb was still in tier A, but now it has to make way for stronger builds.
On the next page, you will find the three best builds of the Demon Hunter in Season 20 of Diablo 3.
