The 2.0.5 patch introduces a wide array of balance changes, buffs, and improvements across all classes. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most important updates:

So here, we'll rank each class from S-Tier to C-Tier based on the 2.0.5 patch changes and overall performance in Season 6. Under each class ranking, we’ll highlight the best builds for that class and explain why they stand out.

1. Spiritborn (S Tier)
The Spiritborn class, while still powerful, hasn’t received as many buffs as other classes. The Razor Wings build got a significant boost thanks to a massive damage increase and the removal of its internal cooldown, allowing it to scale better with attack speed and clear Pit Tiers 95+. Prodigy’s Tempo also saw improvements, with the Intricacy Passive getting a buff, but it still requires testing to see if it’s truly competitive. Spiritborn remains a strong class, but it hasn’t evolved as much as others in this patch.
Best Spiritborn Builds for Endgame after 2.0.5 patch:
Razor Wings – Pit Tiers 95+
Prodigy’s Tempo – Pit Tiers 90-95
Spiritborn Shapeshifter – Pit Tiers 90+

2. Necromancer (A Tier)
The Necromancer firmly claims the top spot in Season 6 thanks to significant buffs to its core builds. The Bone Spirit build is the star here, with a 36% damage increase from buffs to key passives like Evulsion and Compound Fracture, making it capable of clearing Pit Tiers 120+. The Sever Overpower build also saw massive boosts, with a 40-47% increase in damage, allowing it to easily clear Pit Tiers 100+. Both builds offer exceptional AoE and single-target damage, making Necromancer the most dominant class in the game right now.

Bone Spirit – Pit Tiers 120+
Sever Overpower – Pit Tiers 100+
Blight Necromancer – Pit Tiers 100+

3. Barbarian (A Tier)
Barbarians have seen a resurgence into the S-tier thanks to buffs across multiple builds. Mighty Throw is currently the strongest Barbarian build, benefitting from a 50% damage increase and bug fixes, allowing it to clear Pit Tiers 125+ with ease. The Overpower Hammer of the Ancients build also received substantial buffs, including a 27% base damage increase and improvements to the Battle Mad Aspect, making it a top-tier contender for Pit Tiers 110+. Overall, Barbarians are incredibly strong in both single-target and AoE scenarios, making them a force to be reckoned with.

Mighty Throw – Pit Tiers 125+
Overpower Hammer of the Ancients – Pit Tiers 110+
Upheaval Barbarian – Pit Tiers 100+

4. Rogue (A Tier)
Rogues are in a decent spot after the 2.0.5 patch, but they haven’t received the game-changing buffs that other classes have. The Penetrating Shot build is still strong, with buffs to damage against elites, allowing it to clear Pit Tiers 95-100. The Victimize build, which benefits from improved explosion procs, is also better than before, but its performance remains capped at around Pit Tiers 90+. Rogues are still fun to play, but they lack the raw damage output needed to compete with the top-tier classes.
Best Rogue Builds for Endgame after 2.0.5 patch:

Penetrating Shot Rogue – Pit Tiers 95-100
Victimize Rogue – Pit Tiers 90+
Twisting Blades Rogue – Pit Tiers 90+

5. Druid (B Tier)
Druids received modest but meaningful buffs in this patch, particularly to the Tornado and Grizzly Rage builds. Tornado Druids benefit from improvements to the Stormchaser Aspect, making them more viable in Pit Tiers 100+ content. Grizzly Rage saw enhancements through buffs to Earth and Might and Perfect Storm, making it a solid option for Pit Tiers 95-100. Druids are now more versatile, but they still lack the sheer power to break into the S-tier.

Tornado Druid – Pit Tiers 100+
Grizzly Rage Druid – Pit Tiers 95-100
Rabies Druid – Pit Tiers 90+

6. Sorcerer (C Tier)
The Sorcerer remains a solid class, but it falls short of the raw power offered by Necromancers and Barbarians. The Incinerate build is the standout, with a 100% damage boost from the Overheating Aspect and improved scaling from the Combustion passive, making it capable of clearing Pit Tiers 105+. Ice Shards is another strong build, benefitting from buffs to Avalanche and Piercing Cold, allowing it to push through Pit Tiers 100+. While Sorcerers excel in AoE, they still struggle in boss fights, keeping them slightly below the S-tier classes.

Incinerate Sorcerer – Pit Tiers 105+
Ice Shards Sorcerer – Pit Tiers 100+
Meteor Sorcerer – Pit Tiers 95+
