As Diablo 4 enters the middle of the development of Season 6, the appearance of Patch 2.0.5 undoubtedly brings a fresh feeling to all players. In the long-term development of this game, the developers have been constantly listening to the suggestions of players in the player community or social media, striving to provide players with a very comfortable gaming experience.
Of course, the biggest change in this patch is the change to the existing Classes – making all Classes in a relatively balanced state, and there will be no situation where a Class is too strong or too weak. So in this guide, you will be given a tier list based on the current strength of each Class, so that you can make timely adjustments according to the game content.
S Tier
Spiritborn
As a new Class in Season 6 and Vessel of Hatred DLC, Spiritborn still ranks first in S Tier. Because of the build variety, ease of use, and overall power that no other class can match, even the weakest Spiritborn build can have similar effects to the best builds of some classes.
On top of that, the long-standing rule that endgame builds are stronger than early leveling builds has been reversed by Spiritborn, a class that has some leveling builds that are so good that they can be almost as good as endgame builds.
But the reason Diablo players love this class the most is that Spiritborn is more like the class that appeared in Diablo 3 in terms of power and tempo, with strong damage and survivability.
Necromancer
In each season of Diablo 4, Necromancer has always performed very well, especially after the release of Patch 2.0.5. Their current minion-based builds are much more powerful than previous builds.
Previously in Season 4, if you placed a Level 35 minion Necromancer with a powerful build into Level 55 Cathedral of Light Capstone Dungeon, you would get all Diablo 4 Gold and loot you wanted after a brief wait.
Now, with the improved Necromancer, running such a dungeon is a piece of cake. But if you find minion builds a bit cumbersome in World Tier 4, you can also use abilities like Bone Spear or Blood Mist to make your build more mobile and powerful.
A Tier
Rogue
Rogue class has been very impressive in previous seasons, and even its strength level in all game stages can be compared with Necromancers. However, in Season 6, especially after the release of the current Patch 2.0.5, Rogue has become more demanding on players.
Although Rogue can deal very high AOE damage and single-target DPS to enemies or bosses, this requires the player who operates it to have very strong skill cooldown management capabilities and a more acute sense of positioning. This will also discourage some novice or intermediate players, making its appearance rate not too high.
However, because Rogue can use both melee and ranged weapons at the same time, it still enters A Tier list. If you are a high-level player and are confident at your own operation level, you can try this powerful class hidden behind the scenes. It will definitely give you a big surprise, for example, it can bring you a lot of rare Diablo 4 items as loots.
Druid
Perhaps the most underrated class in Diablo 4 is Druid. Its slow early leveling phase makes many players feel that it is underpowered, but once you persevere through this phase and spend Diablo 4 Gold to fully gear up its build, it can run Nightmare Dungeons quickly and bring you a lot of loot with great power.
If you focus your build on Lightning Storm and Tornado, Druid will perform even better. But the premise is that you may need to survive the early stage when it is slow to clear and has a messy resource management.
B Tier
Sorcerer
Sorcerer is known for its fragility and lack of scavenging abilities, so it’s still in B Tier of the class hierarchy. But if you’re a player who prefers exploration over combat, Sorcerer is a very interesting class that allows you to explore various events slowly in the game and gradually expand to the endgame.
If you want to speed up the endgame farming Diablo 4 Gold or boss killing process, you can also use Meteor, Ball Lightning and Blizzard builds to help you enhance the scavenging ability of Sorcerer. But it’s worth remembering that no matter what your ultimate goal is, the most important thing in Sorcerer build is to have multiple defensive abilities to have a safe exploration state.
Best Endgame Builds for Each Class
We have just introduced several classes in SAB Tier after the release of Patch 2.0.5. Now let’s take a look at the best endgame builds for these classes. However, it should be noted that these tier lists are constantly changing, and you can choose the build that best suits you based on your game style or usage habits. I can recommend a good website that has detailed descriptions and guides for these D4 Builds, that is EZG.com!
