D2R 2.8 Season 5 Tier List - Best Builds Ranking for Each Class

Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.8 Ladder Season 5 Build Tier Lists for Each Class

In Season 4, with patch 2.7, some already powerful builds like the Martial Arts Assassin have become even more effective, while others gain power such as the Fire Druid. This mainly has affected the Assassin and the Druid, making certain groups significantly more efficient due to higher overall damage. In Season 5, as no new patch and no big changes, we will see this situation will remain. Here we've sorted out the new D2R Season 5 Build Tier Lists for each class, and we'll show each build's feasibility on different game content by giving it a star index, so you can decide which one is the best choice!

The ⭐ gives you an idea of the build's value in certain activities. For some builds, equipment is more important than others. In general, your equipment will be crucial to fully exploit a character's potential. Furthermore, a less powerful build doesn't mean you won't have fun, quite the contrary. All these builds can kill Baal in Hell mode, but some builds are more efficient than others for certain activities or farming.
