Diablo 4 Season 6 is coming with a series of updates and changes that will reshape the player experience. Through PTR experience of 2.0 major update, we already know that Vessel of Hatred will introduce important changes that affect all classes and builds.

Now that PTR is over, have you decided which class and build you should choose to experience the new Season 6 content? This guide will provide you with predictions for the best class and build based on the upcoming changes.

Class Changes

Players will gain additional skill points between levels 50 and 60 to adjust your build. The maximum level of the character is capped at level 60. After reaching level 60, players will transition to Paragon levels, further strengthening the build.

World tiers have been restructured. Players will now advance through new difficulty levels called Normal, Hard, Expert, and Penitent then unlock Torment levels. Ancestral items will drop at the beginning of the Torment level, and the introduction of new item qualities will change the way players equip in the endgame stages.

Season 6 Class Tier List

The impact of new skills, changes to Paragon system, item quality adjustments, and the introduction of Rune Words will all have an impact on class rankings in Season 6. When considering the general enhancements and the impact of the new systems being introduced on Season 6, an early preview of Season 6 class tier list is given below.

1. Spiritborn

Tier: S

Spiritborn is equipped with a range of active and passive skills, such as Concussive Stomp and Vortex. Not only do these skills introduce new strategic options that will hopefully increase their adaptability in a variety of game situations, but they also have the potential to create powerful synergies with other game mechanics. Therefore, it is well worth spending some Diablo 4 Gold to acquire equipment that can enhance Spiritborn’s damage output.

2. Necromancer

Tier: S

Some of the Necromancer’s key skills have been significantly improved. Blood Lance can now pierce through enemies and gain suppression effects after multiple casts. The newly added ultimate skill S Rift can absorb souls to deal damage and create a defensive barrier. Enhanced passive skills also further improve Necromancer’s utility and damage output.

3. Sorcerer

Tier: S

Sorcerer gains a summon skill that dynamically adjusts based on the last element used. The passive skill Enlightenment significantly increases damage output under certain conditions and optimizes elemental damage synergy. The update of Rune words expands Sorcerer’s cross-class tactical options.

4. Barbarian

Tier: A

Barbarian introduces new skills and passive skills. Barbed Carapace passive skill can improve Thorns builds, while new skills such as Pulse AOE and Mighty Throw can enhance Barbarian’s diversity and crowd control capabilities. These skills, combined with the rich Paragon board, improve Barbarian’s utility and damage.

5. Rogue

Tier: B

Rogue will gain a new skill that enhances mobility and attack power. The adjustment of passive skills focuses on enhancing elemental damage and injecting additional effects into skills. But compared with other professions, these updates are far from enough.

6. Druid

Tier: C

Druid’s Stone Burst skill will be buffed, while the One with Nature passive is designed to greatly enhance companion abilities, but Druid will still be in the lower tier unless further adjustments are made after PTR.

Builds Tier List

Our ranking of the best builds in Diablo 4 Season 6 based on the changes in PTR is as follows:

1. Lightning Spear Sorcerer

Lightning Spear Sorcerer was the best build in Season 5, and it is still a top choice in Season 6. It benefits from a conjuration mastery cap increase to 30, which enhances its already strong damage output. With the addition of splintering buff and rune word benefits, it can deal more deadly damage. The inclusion of War Cry in its arsenal further consolidates its leading position.

2. Bleed Builds

Bleed Builds may not have a particularly strong performance in Season 6. Despite this, players have always maintained a high level of enthusiasm for testing and optimizing these builds. But without major innovations in build strategies, they are not expected to reach the top level.

3. Rapid Fire Rogue

Rapid Fire Rogue impressed players with its high damage output in Season 5. Its adjustments in PTR are not expected to have an impact on its high damage. Therefore, it will still be a solid choice for players looking for a stable performance.

4. Bone Spirit Necromancer

Bone Spirit Necromancer may see a boost in survivability in Season 6. Double damage with the new update may make this build even more popular.

Each of these builds has unique advantages and disadvantages, and their ultimate survivability may change further in PTR.
