Best Diablo 4 leveling builds for PvE

The below tier list is for the best leveling builds in Diablo 4. This means these are the best builds to use for playing through the game and reaching the endgame quickly. The meta is likely to change when the next Season of Diablo 4 rolls around, but for now, the below character classes and their best leveling builds are as follows:

S-Tier

S-Tier represents the very best Diablo 4 builds you can choose for making your way through the game. In the current meta, the mighty Sorcerer, Necromancer, and Rogue are tied.

Character	Build
Rogue	Penetrating Shot, Barrage
Sorcerer	Chain Lightning, Firewall
Necromancer	Minon, Blood Surge

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 verging on S-Tier quality.

Character	Build
Necromancer	Blight, Corpse Explosion
Barbarian	Upheaval, Double Swing
Sorcerer	Ice Shards, Arc Lash
Rogue	Twisting Blades

While the below builds aren’t considered as powerful as an S and A-tiered build, each one is worth a try if you enjoy the class.

Character	Build
Druid	Lighting Storm
Necromancer	Sever, Bone Spear

C-Tier

The C-Tier builds aren’t considered as effective as those above, but remember, to even make this tier list they must have some value.

Character	Build
