Diablo 3 Season 26: Best classes ranked
Below, we’ve listed all of Diablo 3’s character classes from best to worst. Bear in mind, this is simply based on the current rankings for Season 26. The list may slightly resemble the end of the last season due to these builds rising to prominence during that Season.

This means, that by Season 27, the rankings could look very different. So, if the Necromancer and Witch Doctor are your favorite classes, fear not, the summoners will likely rise again one day!
Remember, if you think you’re going to have more fun playing with a lower-tier character, then go for it. Diablo 3’s Seasons exist for fun. The tier list is simply here as a guideline to which builds are doing well. By playing as a lower-tier character, and dominating, you may actually help your favorite class climb up the rankings – especially if you create a powerful build.

Best Builds
Our Diablo 3 tier list is separated into classes with S-Tier representing the current most powerful builds available in Season 26. We’ve broken it down by character class and build, the higher the tier, the more powerful each is considered.
S-Tier
This represents the top tier and best builds in Season 26 of Diablo 3. The Monk and Witch Doctor are reigning supreme this season, but other classes are also represented:
Character | Build |
Monk | LoDWol |
Monk | Inna Mystic Ally |
Witch Doctor | Arachyr Spiders |
Witch Doctor | Zunimassa Poison Dart |
Demon Hunter | Marauder Sentry |
Necromancer | LoD Corpse Explosion |
Crusader | AoV Heaven’s Fury |
A-Tier
If none of the S-Tier builds do it for you, then why not try an A-Tier build? These are also very powerful and popular builds with the Wizard especially verging on S-Tier quality.
