The right class to start your journey!

If you are going to start a new journey in the latest Seasonal Realm but don’t know which class to choose, we’ve got you covered.

In this article, we’ll be going over our Diablo 4 Season 5 tier list for both classes and builds for the  “Season of the Infernal Hordes.”

Diablo 4 class tier list varies considerably based on what activities you focus on and your expectations from a class.

To make things easier, we have divided the tier list into two sections, one ranking all the classes on general terms, where we have taken factors like DPS and performance of different builds of the same class, ease of leveling up, mob, boss, NMDs (Nightmare Dungeons) farming, etc.

The other tier list ranks specific builds of all the classes that you can consider the meta for the current season due to recent changes and additions of new Uniques and such equipment.

That said, the main factors that govern our tier lists are how well a class is at clearing the different content in the Seasonal Realm, a class’s effectiveness in dealing with bosses, especially solo, speed farming—you know, leveling from 1 to 100 in significantly less time, ease of use—for beginners, class performance from level 1-50 and 50-100 and of course, the community’s take and opinions.
