How We Rank Endgame Builds

This list ranks Diablo 4 builds based on their ability to safely and efficiently clear challenging content like Nightmare Dungeons, The Pit, Infernal Horde, and Kurast Undercity at higher World Tier Torment difficulties during the Vessel of Hatred expansion. The higher the tier in the list above, the stronger the build is for endgame pushing.

Please note: These rankings are based on a max Level (60) character with multiple Paragon boards unlocked. While lower-level characters will naturally feel weaker, the relative tier placements should still hold true at most levels.

As always, keep in mind that this tier list reflects our own rankings and experiences here at Icy Veins. It is not meant to be a universal rulebook for what is best or worst. Diablo 4 offers a ton of variety and customization, and the strongest build is often the one that fits your own goals and playstyle. We encourage players to explore, experiment, and have fun because there is no single “right” way to play.
