Diablo 4 Season 5 Tier List for all classes

Diablo 4 Season 5 Tier List for all Classes

Magic will once again reign supreme in Season 5

Every season of Diablo 4 features class and itemization changes that typically shake up the meta in terms of what classes are better at certain functions in-game for that season. The Season of the Infernal Hordes is no different, bringing some pretty massive changes to all classes and adding a ton of new items. We’ve put together two Diablo 4 Season 5 Tier Lists for all 5 Classes detailing which ones are best for leveling and end-game as well as which builds for each class you should use.

Diablo 4 Season 5 Leveling Tier List

For leveling in Diablo 4 Season 5, you want a build that can quickly traverse between packs of mob before taking them out in fast fashion. Ideally, the build will also have some tankiness and survivability so there’s not much downtime between each group of enemies you take out. Our classes in the S Tier for this Tier List have builds that meet all of those requirements, while those in the A Tier do as well just not as effeciently. Classes in the B Tier however features builds that are a bit on the slower end in terms of leveling, and won’t be able to level with as much ease as those in the S or even A Tier. Here is our Diablo 4 Season 5 Leveling Tier List for all 5 classes going into the new season:

S Tier

  • Rogue (Barrage, Penetrating Shot, Twisting Blades)
  • Sorcerer (Arc Lash, Chain Lightning, Firewall, Ice Shards)

A Tier

  • Necromancer (Bone Spear, Blood Surge, Minion)

B Tier

  • Barbarian (Double Swing, HotA, Upheaval, Whirlwind)
  • Druid (Companion, Lightning Storm, Pulverize)

Diablo 4 Season 5 End Game Tier List

While the leveling tier list focuses on classes and builds that can quickly take out hordes of enemies, builds in our End Game tier list must also be able to quickly burn down single-target bosses with massive HP pools as is required. Our builds in the S Tier List are able to do both effectively while those in the A Tier are great in bursts at one of the other. Classes in the B Tier will be able to do all end game content, as all classes can, but may not be able to do so as easily or quickly as the other classes, at least without some serious gear. This is our Diablo 4 Season 5 End Game Tier List and builds for all classes:

S Tier

  • Barbarian (Bash, Flay, Rend)
  • Sorcerer (Blizzard, Chain Lightning, Fireball, Firewall)

A Tier

  • Rogue (Barrage, Flurry, Penetrating Shot, Rapid Fire)

B Tier

  • Druid (Cataclysm, Companion, Landslide, Lightning Storm)
  • Necromancer (Bone Spirit, Blood Lance, Blood Surge, Minions)
