Diablo 2 Season 6 Tier List: Best to Worst Class Builds

Our Diablo 2 Season 6 Tier List focuses on Ladder play at the start of the season. While there might be some better endgame builds out there, the prime objective here is to get started on the right foot for D2R players, so as to not waste one of their limited respecs.

We've also got guides to some of these top builds linked into this tier list for D2R, so you can get started on the right path in Ladder Season 6.

Below, you can find a table outlining the best possible builds in Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder Season 5 to start out with. The information features both the class and the primary skill focus of the Diablo 2 Ladder Season 6 best build in question. 

S Tier Builds A Tier Builds B Tier Builds C Tier Builds D Tier Builds

As you can see, some classes might have a bit of a rough time in Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder Season 6. However, it is important to remember that all these builds are viable; some are just much better at the start of a new season than others.

Yes, Necromancers, Druids, and Assassins don't have S Tier build options at the start of D2R Ladder Season 6, but that doesn't make them "bad" classes to play.
