Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred Tier List - Best Builds For Leveling, Endgame & PvP (Season 6)

Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred is finally here, and it's once again time to scratch our heads and figure out which character we are going to take through the new expansion. Vessel of Hatred is adding a ton of new content to the game, with the Spiritborn class, the new region of Nahantu, and the Mercenaries being just some of the new features coming to Diablo 4. The Dark Citadel raid, as well as the Kurast Undercity, are also new endgame activities that we will be trying out, along with existing ones, such as Nightmare Dungeons and the Pit, which are receiving major changes. Leveling is also undergoing quite the rework, with a new level cap of 60 and 300 Paragon points to spend, which is sure to shake up the meta significantly.

With so many changes happening to the game, it's once again time for us to take a step back and look at which builds are rising and falling in the rankings for Vessel of Hatred. 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 6:

This tier list compares the different classes based on how effective they are in the earlier stages of the game.

Mobility also plays a huge role in overall leveling speed, making sure you can travel from pack to pack as fast as possible.

These are our picks for the best builds to level up your character in Season of the Construct:

Tier	Build
S Tier	Firewall Sorcerer Dance of Knives Rogue Quill Volley Spiritborn Barrage Rogue

This tier list compares the different classes based on their effectiveness in Torment 1 through 4. This includes Nightmare Dungeons, the Pit, the Kurast Undercity, the Dark Citadel raid, Boss farming, and open-world content. While some builds are amazing for the earlier stages of the endgame, being able to quickly farm some entry-level Nightmare Dungeons, others are able to scale much better, specialized in clearing some of the hardest content in the game.

Tier	Build
S Tier	Quill Volley Spiritborn Dance of Knives Rogue Touch of Death Spiritborn Frozen Orb Sorcerer Soulrift Necromancer Barrage Rogue
