Diablo 4 Season 4 has finally arrived, and if you weren't happy with the game when it first released last year, now is the perfect time to jump back in. For the past few months, the Diablo 4 team has held their heads down and worked on a full overhaul of the itemization system in the game, adding new crafting systems and making it much more interesting and interactive. It's no wonder that Season 4 is called 'Loot Reborn' as the changes that were made to the game are so significant that Blizzard has decided that this season does not even need its own theme or any major mechanics. This, however, does not mean that there is no new content in the game, as there is a new endgame dungeon called the Pit of Artificers, new updates to the boss ladder including an Uber Andariel fight, and a big rework to how Helltides function.

With Diablo 4 receiving its biggest update since the release of the game, it's time for us to take a step back and take a look at which builds are going up and down the rankings for Season 4. These tier lists have been divided into three different categories - leveling, endgame, and PvP, and below all of them, you will find links to more in-depth guides and explanations for each class. Here are our updated tier lists for Diablo 4 Season 4:

Best PvP Builds for Diablo 4 Season 4
