Diablo 4 Season 7 tier list: Best endgame builds for PvE

This Diablo 4 Season 7 tier list ranks all the classes based on their endgame potential and power ceiling. Necromancer is very much back in charge again, with multiple of them rising one or two tiers to take the top spots. We predicted that Blood Wave Necro would be the most OP spec going into Diablo 4 Season 7 (to no one's surprise), and that estimation holds true after the changes made on the live patch since 2.1 PTR.

Meanwhile, the biggest loser of Season 7 patch balance changes is Spiritborn. This, of course, doesn't mean that Spiritborn is bad: Diablo 4 wouldn't want to shutter the power curve of its expansion-gated class, after all. It simply means that Spiritborn builds aren't the S-tier powerhouses they used to be.

Our Diablo 4 Season 7 tier list reflects how powerful the specific builds are when all their power ramps come online and how well they play in Levels 50 to 100+ in endgame content. Some builds have slower levelling, but S-tier classes also have a leeway to expedite the process. Conversely, some lower-tier builds may have ways to power-level, only to fall off in DPS in the late game.

Disclaimer: This Diablo 4 Season 7 build tier list is largely dependent on the meta shift after the balance changes made in the latest updates. The ranking of these builds is based on their relative power level as seen in the Season 7 PTS version, and may change if some new busted builds get figured out. Your mileage may vary depending on personal preference and playstyle.

S-tier builds for Diablo 4 Season 7 endgame

S-tier builds in this tier list represent the pinnacle of power in Diablo 4, pun intended. Generally, these builds tend to have some sort of unintended interactions that push them above the threshold from 'good' to 'overpowered'. The following are our guess based on community tier lists and the Season 7 PTS.

Note that some builds may go from S to A-tier depending on how the meta pans out, and once things get figured out more.

Below are the builds that are S class for PvE in the Diablo 4 Season 7 tier list:

Class	Builds
Barbarian	Earthquake Barbarian, Whirlwind Barbarian
Rogue	Death Trap Rogue, Rain of Arrows Rogue, Twisting Blades Rogue, Rapid Fire Rogue, Flurry Rogue
Druid	Lacerate Druid, Cataclysm Druid, Boulder Druid
Necromancer	Bone Spear Necromancer, Bone Spirit Necromancer, Blood Wave Necromancer

A-tier builds for Diablo 4 Season 7 endgame

A-tier builds on our tier list are not 'overpowered', but they are ahead of the curve. These are still highly performant builds that let you have an easy time with the end-game, and while some of them take time to come online, the effort is easily worth it. Ahead of Season 7 launch, Rogues are paraded as the best Diablo 4 class - and the ranking reflects that.

Below are the A-Tier builds for PvE in Diablo 4 Season 7 endgame:

Class	Builds
Spiritborn	Quill Volley Spiritborn, Rocksplitter Thorns Spiritborn
Barbarian	Mighty Throw Barbarian
Druid	Hurricane Druid, Companion Druid, Shred Druid (duh), Landslide Druid
Rogue	Heartseeker Rogue
Sorcerer	Fore Bolt Sorcerer
Necromancer	Blood Lance Necromancer, Surge Necromancer, Blight Necromancer, Sever Necromancer, Soulrift Necromancer

B-tier builds for Diablo 4 Season 7

In terms of being 'meta', the builds in B-tier are middle of the pack: they're not overpowered by any means, but they fare just fine in Season of the Infernal. Depending on how far you like to minmax your builds, all of these builds have some degree of endgame-viability in Diablo 4 Season 7:

Class	Builds
Spiriborn	Touch of Death Spiritborn, Payback Spiritborn, Stinger Spiritborn, Toxic Skin Spiritborn, Crushing Head Spiritborn, Razor Wings Spiriborn
Barbarian	Upheavel Barbarian, HoTA Barbarian, Rend Barbarian, Rupture Barbarian, Bash Barbarian, Death Blow Barbarian
Druid	Pulverize Druid, Lightning Storm Druid, Were-nado Druid, Stone Burst Druid
Rogue	Pen Shot Rogue, Dance of Knives Rogue, Andariel's Rogue
Sorcerer	Incinerate Sorcerer, Fireball Sorcerer, Lightning Spear Sorcerer, Ball Lightning Sorcerer, Chain Lightning Sorcerer
Necromancer	Minion Necromancer, Infinimist Necromancer

C-tier builds for Diablo 4 Season 7

We're here at the C-tier of this Diablo 4 build tier list, but it's not as bad as it seems. These builds are not 'bad' per se, they just happened to fall through the cracks during the process of balancing patch 2.1.0. However, if you're not keen on pushing endurance runs on The Pit or Dungeons, these builds will still serve you well—except for Frozen Orb Sorcerer; that build was gutted completely.

Class	Builds
Spiritborn	Rake Spiriborn, Thrash Spiritborn, Evade Eagle Spiriborn
Barbarian	Thorns Barbarian
Rogue	Shadow Step Rogue
Sorcerer	Meteor Sorcerer, Blizzard Sorcerer, Ice Shards Sorcerer, Frozen Orb Sorcerer

Ultimately, personal preference goes a long way. If you like the flavor or flexibility of a homebrew build, you should absolutely go for it - the game is easy enough to give you leeway till the aforementioned endgame pushes. Ultimately, like all tier lists, this Diablo 4 Season 7 endgame list too involves a degree of meta-chasing - and as such, will not fit everyone's palette.
