Diablo 4 Season 10: Tier List with the best builds

Especially the assessments from the experts at maxroll.gg are important for our ranking. Our own experience as well as opinions from barbarian expert and Build-Theorycrafter Rob are also included. You can find his data in his Google Doc.

The list is likely to change several times in the coming weeks, especially when it is clear how much the new Chaos Powers really affect the builds in Season 10.

Our Tier List includes all endgame activities for Diablo 4, with the Pit serving as a benchmark. For PvP, speed grinding, and leveling builds, the builds may not always be the best fit. Keep in mind that the builds shown include runes from Vessel of Hatred.

What does “S” to “F” mean? In the Tier List, builds are categorized by letters. In this case, “S” stands for the best builds, while “F” marks the worst.

Lunge Strike Barbarian: Your Lunge Strike skill will accompany you from the very first level to the endgame and is suitable for all content in the game. The build primarily focuses on the Unique “Hooves of the Mountain God,” which was introduced in Season 9 and boosts your base skills.

Companion Druid: With the Companion build, you will dismantle your enemies as a Druid with an army of animal companions. The Ravens are at the center of the build and are very strong in Season 10, also thanks to the new Unique “Blackwing’s Kilt”. The build is particularly suitable against single targets and bosses, but is not very well suited for speed farming due to cooldowns and a small area of effect.

Flesh Render Druid: The build is based on the eponymous Unique 1H Mace “Flesh Render,” which deals damage to poisoned enemies nearby when you cast a defensive skill. Damage increases by 1% for every 100 Willpower.

Pulverize Druid: The Pulverize build is excellent for speed farming as it combines massive area damage with a simple playstyle. The combination of Pulverize and the legendary Shockwave aspect ensures that your damage explodes in a large conical area in front of you. You receive and improve the aspect through drops from legendary items.

Evade Spiritborn: With the Evade build for the Spiritborn, you primarily rely on evasive maneuvers and throw feathers around you that completely shred enemies. After the release of the Spiritborn class the Evade build was completely OP and was nerfed, but is still very strong.

Heartseeker Rogue: You rely entirely on the base skill “Heartseeker,” which provides fast gameplay and excels against single targets as well as monster groups. The Unique “Splitter Verathiels” is particularly important for the build as the 1H sword provides a huge damage buff for your base skills.

Flurry Rogue: The Flurry build of the Rogue is a melee build that is suitable for all activities in Diablo 4 due to its mobility and area damage. The new Unique “Death Mask of Nirmitruq” allows you to spam the Flurry skill.

Dance of Knives Rogue: While the build was among the weaker ones in Season 9, it is now very strong again in the new season. The build combines fun, speed, and power, allowing you to whirl with knives through all activities in the game. Your poison traps also deal enormous damage.

Death Trap Rogue: With the build, you focus entirely on the ultimate skill “Death Trap” and deal massive damage as a result. A major advantage of this build is the ability to spam the ultimate (due to cooldown reduction) and the capability to pull enemies together.

Blood Wave Necromancer: Blood Wave received new Uniques in Season 7 – one of them is Kessim’s Legacy. The lower body armor ensures that two Blood Waves flow toward you from the sides and pull in enemies before exploding for high damage. This damage is increased each time an enemy is hit by a wave. You play the build completely without minions.

Shadow Blight Necromancer: The build is based on the central passive skill “Shadow Blight,” which infects enemies with shadow damage. You can play the build already in the early endgame as it does not require any Uniques to function. A Unique that is worth it for the build is the amulet “Even Slicer.” The amulet causes “Plague” to shoot additional 4 smaller projectiles that pierce enemies and deal shadow damage over time.

Ball Lightning Sorceress: The build benefits from the Unique focus “Strike of the Stormhorns,” with which your Ball Lightning can deal immense damage, fire twice, and act faster. Alternatively, you can equip “Okun’s Catalyst” as a focus, which causes your Ball Lightning to orbit you.

Hydra Sorceress: Since the Sorceresses received a new Unique in Season 9 relating to Hydras, the build based on this skill is also expected to be very strong again in Season 10, according to experts. The Unique amulet “Ophidian Iris” makes the Hydra skill the core ability and always summons a three-headed Hydra whose attacks explode on impact. The Hydra does not gain additional heads, but instead grows larger for each potential head and deals multiplicative damage.
