  • Preliminary Rankings

This Endgame Builds Tier List consists of preliminary rankings based on the information currently available for Diablo 4 Patch 1.3. It is important to note that these rankings are influenced more by patch notes rather than in-game experience. As players embark on their journey through endgame content following the launch of Season 3, these rankings are expected to change frequently. The initial rankings provide a general idea of how builds will compare in Patch 1.3.

  • Notable Changes and Adjustments

With regards to the balance changes in Patch 1.3, some of the highest-performing builds will be affected, and the removal of Vampiric Powers further impacts the rankings. As a result, we have made appropriate adjustments and removed the S+ Tier from our Tier List. Despite these nerfs, certain top-tier builds like the Ball Lightning Sorcerer and Hammer of the Ancients Barbarian are expected to maintain their positions at the top. We will closely monitor the performance of each build throughout Season of the Construct and keep you updated.
