With the Gauntlet right around the corner, it is time to prepare for the battles that lie ahead. Many of you have asked for top builds for each class in Diablo 4 Season 3, and today I bring them to you. Below you'll find a tier list of the best Gauntlet builds for all classes. Please keep in mind that this listing is based on current game knowledge and may change as we learn more about what's to come. Now let's dive right into it!

 

• S-Tier Builds: The Cream of the Crop
• A-Tier Builds: Formidable Contenders
• B-Tier Builds: Solid Choices with Potential
• C-Tier and Below: Niche Picks and Underdogs

 

↖ S-Tier Builds: The Cream of the Crop

 

- Sorcerer: Arash & Ball Lightning Builds

The Sorcerer boasts unparalleled speed and destructive power. With Arash build, spam teleport with no mana cost; with Ball Lightning, deal high DPS damage. Both are exceptional builds, but Arash still takes the number one spot due to its reliability and infinite teleportation potential.

 

↖ A-Tier Builds: Formidable Contenders

 

- Barbarian: Charge & HoTA Builds

The Barbarian's charge build provides mobility and damage on the move. Combine charge with Hammer of the Ancients (HoTA) for massive damage bursts or go with a Charge Bleed variant for consistent output.

 

- Druid: Boulder & Shred Builds

Druid has two strong options when it comes to boulder and shred builds. Boulder offers superior AoE clearing, while Shred focuses on speed. If you're having trouble deciding which one to choose from then dive deeper into their unique merits or look at how they fare against specific Gauntlet mechanics.

 

- Rogue: Penetrating Shot Build

Rogue's Penetrating Shot build is no doubt a heavy hitter simply because of its impressive AoE damage that it dishes out. Pair this up with Rapid Fire for single target punch and it would dance through danger like a breeze.

 

↖ B-Tier Builds: Solid Choices with Potential

 

- Necromancer: Bone Spear & Corpse Explosion Builds

The Necromancer lacks mobility compared to other classes, but recent buffs have definitely given him a boost. Bone Spear is still a great pick while combining it with the improved Corpse Explosion build could deliver a significant damage increase.

 

↖ C-Tier and Below: Niche Picks and Underdogs

 

- Various Necromancer Minions Builds

Minion builds still fall behind in terms of speed and efficiency. But they're really fun to play around with if you're looking for a change or willing to experiment something new.

 

- Barbarian: Whirlwind & Upheaval Builds

No doubt these are iconic builds, but they come with slower movements and animations. They can be incredibly powerful in the right hands but players who go all out on speed may struggle with this one. 

 

Remember, S-tier builds are expected to dominate, however the Gauntlet isn't just about power—it's about strategy, adaptability, and execution. Don't be afraid to try A-tier or even B-tier ones if that fits your playing style better!
