10 Best Builds To Use For Diablo 4 Season 6 (Tier List)

The best builds for each class in every new Season of Diablo 4 can be hotly contested. However, as of right now in Season 6, there does seem to be a fairly clear winner. Whether that will remain to be the case is yet to be seen, but players can expect some of the same as in Season 5. However, there are some significant changes as many new gameplay mechanics and a new class were dropped in Season 6.

Reaching your max level fast in Diablo 4 is always something to strive for, and players will want to get to that level to be able to play their favorite build the fastest. This will be even easier this season with a lower-level cap, and players will want to do the best they can where that’s concerned. There are a lot of great builds to choose from this Season, so you will have the pick of the litter.

10 Pure Landslide Druid

Nerfed DPS Build

With Stormslide and Nature’s Fury receiving some nerfs, the best Druid build is going to a Pure Landslide. It will continue to be your main source of damage, but you will likely not be using the Stormslide over and over again anymore. However, the weapons you pick and the Critical Hit Chance stacks can still do massive amounts of damage.

While this build may not keep up with some of the others, it is still a good build for the endgame. This is partially because of your potential Lucky Hit chance, and you have a lot of ways to trigger it and get Poison buffs and boons with those Lucky Hits.

While we still wait for what might be the best Landslide build in terms of exact combinations in this season, YouTuber J_Macc has a good overview of what is projected to be the best Landslide build moving into Season 6.

9 Weapon Throw Barbarian

Big Range & Attack Speed

This can be a strong and fun build, which you can get by getting near infinite Fury. This allows you to throw weapons around to your heart’s content, slaying through Pit levels fast, and has a nearly infinite range, as you can see in YouTuber Rob2628’s video.

Many of these builds may change as the game moves from the public test builds into the season launch.

This is a new build with a new skill, and the ability you want to look for is the Mighty Throw which adds extra weapons per throw. This makes your build even stronger and allows you to hit fast and hard.

Banished Lord's Talisman Amulet

Even without the newest and best loot, this build can get you deep into the Pit before you are forced to start again.

8 Bone Spirit Necromancer

Taking Down Bosses

This build remains quite strong as we head into Season 6 and is ranked quite high for one of the better class builds by YouTuber Rhykker. Not much has changed from the previous version of the Necromancer, and the class even received a hefty load of buffs to make it even stronger.

YouTuber Rob2628 has a great spreadsheet that is always updated to keep you informed of the best builds for Season 6 as time goes on.

The main downside to this build is still its speed, and that has made it fall a little further down the list than it might have been before. However, it is still a very strong build and can clear a fair amount of high Torment levels for you.

It is also one of the only classes that did not get nerfed in the latest patches, making it a bit better for those who want to continue on with their former character instead of creating a new one in Diablo 4.

7 Dance of Knives Rogue

Fast & Furious

You will want to do a lot of spinning with this class to make the best build for the Rogue class. It is fun, if not the most powerful build in the game. It is, however, the most powerful Rogue build for this season, with many others getting unfortunately nerfed.

This is great for speed farming, and you will be able to clear out enemies fast. Dance of Knives will help you clear hordes to max out your level fast in Diablo 4, especially in the early game. It may not be the best single-target build, but it can do its job well.

In this build, Dark Shroud will be your main source of defense, and you will want to use a fair amount of poison abilities to get a lot of extra damage, which is pointed out in YouTuber M1PY’s video.

6 Chain Lightning Luck Hit Sorcerer

Taking Advantage Of New Aspects

There are some interesting builds with the new Elemental Constellation aspect for Sorcerers. This is not the only new thing for Sorcerers, and people have been using all of the new mechanics for this class together to make a fun new build that has a decent amount of damage.

Related Diablo 4: Vessel Of Hatred's Confusing & Disastrous Launch, Explained Diablo 4’s first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, was delayed just hours before launch, resulting in intense fan backlash. But what really happened?

YouTuber Roxy used an early Chain Lightning version of this build, while others have used all kinds of different elements to earn multiple triggers and get more damage per dagger. It is up to you which way you go.

There are potentially incredible synergies with elemental casts and damage in this class now, and it is a great class to play around with as you figure out what to do.

5 Lightning Spear Sorcerer

Splintering Energy

While this received a fair nerf, it was one of the best builds in Season 5, and it remains one of the best in Season 6. It is hard to fully bring this build down, simply because it was so overpowered in the last season. You can see the new version in action in YouTuber Mekuna's video.

To remain viable, this build will rely on Splintering Energy, which gives you an increased Critical Hit chance and damage. You will also want to use Starless Skies and stick more to a pure build than one that was being used last time around.

Winterglass is one of the main Sorcerer items that got badly nerfed.

This build is the only Sorcerer build you will likely want to use if you find yourself going deep into the Pit and you want to be good at both speed farming and bossing. While other builds later on can do that too, this is the best version of a Sorcerer build you can use.

4 Bone Spirit Wave Necromancer

A Twist On The Original

While you can make a tried and true Bone Spirit Necromancer, there is now a better option. This build will still use the Bone Spirits, but it is adding the Blood Wave. This is a new Ultimate that is making quite red waves across the Pits and Helltides of Diablo 4.

This is partially because it stuns and knockbacks enemies, allowing you to not take much if any damage, which you can see in YouTuber Rob2628’s video. It also deals a lot of damage and grants you a Damage Reduction as well. You will also be leaving behind Blood Orbs as you go, which depending on your gear can help you out in different ways.

This build can actually melt the bosses pretty fast, even if it is not as good at speed farming as other classes and builds on this list. Additionally, while Heir of Perdition remains bugged, you can use it to do even more damage to bosses that have the right attributes.

3 Touch Of Death Poison Spiritborn

Highest DPS Build

This is a great build for a single-target fight, and this is the start of the dominance of the Spiritborn class in this Season of Diablo 4. You do not need a lot of hard-to-find uniques for gear, and you can get a major boost to your gameplay with it.

It takes out the Pit 100 within four to five minutes, allowing you to fly through it by hitting high damage.

This is one of several very powerful Spiritborn builds. It seems like they decided to make the newest class the best one by a long shot.

You can see how this plays out in YouTuber Rob2628’s video, which he admits is not even the most optimized gear-wise, and it is still doing upwards of 30 billion damage at a time.

2 Quill Volley Eagle Spiritborn

Farming Build

This build starts strong and ends strong. It can help you level fast at the beginning of the game, and it can do everything you need it to do at the end of the game as well. Whatever conflict you want to try, you can push for it with this build.

YouTube Channel Goblin Inc. has been one of the main champions behind this build, and it can do all of the heavy lifting you need it to. In fact, Goblin Inc. promotes it as being able to do trillions of DPS damage, not just billions.

This is a fantastic build that you should try out if you can, just to feel it out and see how good it feels for yourself. This build is a good one to start out with, but if you want to make it even better in the endgame, you will have to check out the final entry in this list.

1 Overpower Spiritborn

Too Much Damage

This is a bit of an update and tweak to the former build, as time has gone on and people have had more time to figure out the way that it works. This is not a feasible early-game build. You need a lot of unique gear and a lot of late-game resources to make this one work, as you can see in YouTuber Goblin Inc's video.

There are a lot of different builds for the Spiritborn this Season, and you will want to test them all out for yourself to see which one you like best. However, this one is a heavy hitter, and it is possible it will be nerfed soon because of this. This means you should try it out as soon as possible, so you can experience the most OP build in Diablo 4 Season 6 at least once.
