Diablo 4 Season 14 has kicked off, and there are quite a few great leveling builds for each class. What defines a good build is how fast it clears, its damage, and also how fun it is to play. While many of these builds fall down a tier or two when they reach the endgame, they’re still enjoyable options while pushing through the leveling process! These builds are also the fastest ones you can pick.
If a build isn’t listed among these, consider it to be C-Tier or lower. Those builds are still viable, but they certainly don’t have the same levels of damage, movement speed, or enemy clear. If you’re jumping into Diablo 4 Season 14, here are the best builds on our tier list.
Diablo 4 Season 14 Leveling Builds Tier List: What are the best leveling builds for each class?
1) S-Tier
The S-Tier of Diablo 4 Season 14’s leveling build tier list reveals that there are quite a few amazing builds that are viable to get to level 70 as fast and easy as possible. These builds are great for pushing through Pandemonium Ruptures, Helltides, Nightmare Dungeons, and whatever else you want to run.
Season 14 really feels like the Season of the Barbarian and Rogue with how many great picks those classes have between the leveling and endgame process. Barbarians dominate the endgame, but Rogues are easily the best for leveling. It’s nice to see some Paladin love here, because it sadly, likely won’t extend into the endgame.
I also want to definitely highlight Minion Necromancer, because that’s the build I played and it was incredibly simple from start to finish. While leveling, I also saw a ton of Twisting Blades Rogues and quite a few Blizzard Sorcerers.
S-Tier
- Frenzy Throw Barbarian
- Minion Necromancer
- Barrage Rogue
- Dance of Knives Rogue
- Twisting Blades Rogue
- Blizzard Sorcerer
- Shield of Retribution Paladin
- Wing Strikes Paladin
- Stinger Spiritborn
2) A-Tier
A-Tier builds are still quite strong, but they have a bit more downside, compared to those S-Tier options. While Whirlwind Barbarian will become S-Tier in the endgame, as far as Diablo 4 Season 14’s leveling builds go, it’s just A-Tier.
It’s partially because of how necessary good gear (and thus, Legendary Aspects are), as well as its need to manage Fury wisely. Don’t worry, it eventually becomes an unstoppable dunk machine.
There’s a lot of variety, in terms of classes in the A-Tier, too. Quite a few Warlock builds, like my personal favorite, Apocalypse Warlock. Druids are a major stalwart in the A-Tier also, with Lightning Storm, Shred, and Companion all being great picks. There’s even a Spiritborn option! There are so few of those right now.
A-Tier
- Whirlwind Barbarian
- Lightning Storm Druid
- Shred Druid
- Companion Druid
- Sever Necromancer
- Blood Surge Necromancer
- Blight Necromancer
- Penetrating Shot Rogue
- Flurry Rogue
- Minion Warlock
- Apocalypse Warlock
- Dread Claws Warlock
- Crushing Hand Spiritborn
- Firewall Sorcerer
- Charged Bolts Sorcerer
3) B-Tier
B-Tier leveling builds in Diablo 4 Season 14 are slower still, but they can still get the job done. B-Tier doesn’t mean bad! I’m always going to champion Zealadin (Zeal Paladin), no matter how low it goes.
Blazing Scream Warlock is also quite a lot of fun, as is Pulverize Druid. It’s really all about speed and damage, but the B-Tier options are still quite good, they just aren’t going to feel as almighty overpowered.
B-Tier
- Pulverize Druid
- Rapid Fire Rogue
- Judgement Paladin
- Zeal Paladin
- Chain Lightning Sorcerer
- Ice Shards Sorcerer
- Eviscerate Warlock
- Hell Fracture Warlock
- Blazing Scream Warlock
- Lunatic Warlock
- Rock Splitter Thorns Spiritborn
