Many players plan their builds in Diablo 4 with websites and draw inspiration from meta lists. One player found all that too cumbersome – and quickly built something of his own.
What are the websites for? In Diablo 4, there are six classes – and each comes with different skills. Combined with legendary aspects and items, this leads to various builds. Those who want to keep track often rely on external tools. On the popular websites, you can find among other things:
- Tier lists with the best builds in the current season.
- OP builds from experts and content creators – such as the Barbarians builds from Rob2628.
- Build planners, where you can plan your own build – for example, on maxroll.gg.
Especially the build planners are practical when you want to plan and optimize your endgame build in advance. And some players use meta builds to breeze through the endgame as effortlessly as possible. Others say: People are just making it easy for themselves.
“For players who don’t want to waste time”
This is what the player developed: For the player “Pitasso”, the back and forth between different tabs was simply too annoying, he reports on Reddit. He wanted a kind of companion that keeps an eye on the meta and presents strong builds compactly – especially on mobile.
Because he found nothing that matched his ideas, he quickly developed his own website, which is particularly optimized for mobile devices – and for players who don’t want to waste time. At 30, he learned to program. “It was 12 intensive months full of learning, UX design, content preparation, and building everything completely from the ground up,” he explains.
What’s on his website? On his website Lexi.gg, Pitasso focuses on tier lists, meta builds, and helpful overviews of uniques and legendary aspects. The builds come from well-known experts and creators, who are credited as sources, he explains in the comments. A build planner is already in the works.
In the comments, the community expresses a lot of praise, but also wishes and suggestions for improvement. His website is generally well-received. Many write that it looks particularly good on mobile devices and seems clear and organized.
The community of Diablo 4 continually discusses meta builds. Some celebrate the overpowered builds, with which bosses at torment level 4 can be taken down almost at the push of a button. Others deliberately take a different route and do without the builds that are part of the meta, and note: The content in Diablo 4 does indeed have mechanics. They just didn’t see them before.
