Diablo 4 Season 7 is offering an exciting new wave of possibilities for Diablo fans. Which build should you use when Season 7 and Patch 2.1 comes? In this D4 Season 7 build tier list, we’re going to rank the best builds for all classes!

Diablo 4 2.1 Best Build - D4 Season 7 Builds Ranking

The Diablo 4 Season 7 PTR Patch 2.1 introduces several notable updates and changes to the game. One key area of focus is new itemization, with the addition of powerful new unique items like the Aspect of Endless Talons and Sustained War-Crozier. These items offer significant boosts to specific class abilities and playstyles. The pursuit of the best Diablo 4 Season 7 build for each class is essential for endgame progression, farming efficiency, or competitive advantages. Without further ado, let’s dive into Diablo 4 2.1 builds ranking!

Rank 1 - Spirit Born

• Orange Quill Volley Spirit Born

Spirit Born is ranked as the best class in Diablo 4 Season 7, far ahead of the rest of the classes, particularly in speed farming and clearing high-difficulty content. The Orange Quill Volley Spirit Born build is completely broken and insanely powerful in Diablo 4 Season 7 builds ranking. The build is so powerful that it’s stated to do about 30,000 times more damage than the next strongest build in the game. This makes it the go-to choice for speed farming difficult content like 150 pits. Moreover, the build takes advantage of various bugs and odd interactions in the game that contribute to its extreme damage output and effectiveness, making it a dominant choice in the current meta.

Ultimate: 1 The Hunter (Harmonious, Exalted), 3 Resolution, 3 Spiritual Attunement, 3 Supremacy

Key Passive: Prodigy's Tempo

Rank 2 - Barbarian

• Weapon Throw Barbarian

The Weapon Throw Barbarian build has become the best Diablo 4 2.1 build this season, and it is currently ranked as the second best class, with a high performance rating at Pit 128. Barbarians already have great base damage, which makes scaling with Weapon Throw even more impactful. The combination of the base damage and the multipliers from passives and active skills makes this build extremely potent in both boss fights and mob clearing. If you're aiming for a high-performance build without being the most broken class (Spirit Born), Weapon Throw Barbarian is the best D4 Season 7 build.

Gear:

Helm: Ugly Bastard Helm

Main Weapon: Aspect of Herculean Spectacle

Slashing Weapon: Edgemaster's Aspect

Dual-Wield Weapon: The Third Blade, Aspect of Inner Calm

Chest Armor: Aspect of Might 

Gloves: Aspect of Encroaching Wrath

Weapon Mastery: 5 Mighty Throw (Enhanced, Warrior's), 3 Pit Fighter, 3 Slaying Strike, 1 Expose Vulnerability, 1 Thick Skin, 3 Counteroffensive, 1 Irrepressible

Ultimate: 5 Wrath of the Berserker (Prime, Supreme), 3 Invigorating Fury

Key Passive: Unbridled Rage

Rank 3 - Sorcerer

• Firebolt Sorceress

The Firebolt Sorceress build has surprisingly become one of the top best builds in Diablo 4 Seasaon 7, making it a very strong contender in the current meta, even though Sorceress was initially seen as a weaker class. The Firebolt Sorceress can scale its damage to become a great option for both AoE and single-target damage, thanks to its ability to spread multiple projectiles and double dip into multipliers from aspects and uniques. The Firebolt build scales exceptionally well with good gear. Since it's heavily reliant on aspects and uniques, the right itemization can significantly boost damage and overall effectiveness.

Gear:

Main Weapon: Shard of Verathiel

Offhand Weapon: Aspect of the Moonrise

Helm: Heir of Perdition

Chest Armor: Raiment of the Infinite

Gloves: Flameweaver

Pants: Snowveiled Aspect

Basic: 1 Fire Bolt (Enhanced, Glinting)

Core: 1 Fireball (Enhanced, Greater)

Defensive: 5 Teleport (Enhanced, Shimmering), 3 Glass Cannon, 1 Ice Armor (Enhanced, Shimmering)

Conjuration: 1 Familiar (Enhanced, Invoked), 3 Precision, 3 Align the Elements, 3 Protection, 3 Conjuration Mastery, 3 Mana Shield

Mastery: 1 Firewall (Enhanced, Wizard's), 3 Inner Flames

Ultimate: 1 Permafrost, 3 Icy Touch, 3 Hoarfrost, 1 Fiery Surge, 3 Endless Pyre, 3 Warmth, 3 Soulfire, 3 Elemental Synergies, 3 Evocation

Keu Passive: Shatter

Rank 4 - Necromancer

• Bone Spirit Necromancer

The Bone Spirit Necromancer is a standout build, currently ranking as one of the most powerful and consistent Necromancer builds. It's highly effective for both speed farming and pushing high-difficulty content, placing it firmly in the top tiers of D4 2.1 builds tier list. The build incorporates resource restoration mechanics, using effects like “chance to restore primary resource” on weapons to maintain full resources. This ensures you can constantly spam Bone Spirit without running out of essence, maximizing uptime and damage. However, this build relies heavily on Bone Spirit cooldown reduction, which can be limiting in extended fights if cooldown management isn’t optimized.

Gear:

Main Weapon: Aspect of Swelling Curse

Offhand Weapon: Aspect of Serration

Helm: Harlequin Crest

Chest Armor: Shroud of False Death

Gloves: Phasing Poltergeist's Aspect

Pants: Blood Moon Breeches

Boots: Aspect of the Cursed Aura

Amulet: Banished Lord's Talisman

Ring: Shattered Spirit's Aspect, Ring of Starless Skies

Skill Trees:

Basic: 1 Bone Splinters (Enhanced)

Core: 3 Unliving Energy, 3 Imperfectly Balanced, 3 Hewed Flesh 

Macabre: 1 Necotic Fortitude, 3 Titan's Fall 

Corruption: 1 Decrepify (Enhanced, Abhorrent), 3 Amplify Damage, 3 Death's Embrace, 3 Death's Approach, 3 Precision Decay 

Macabre: 5 Bone Spirit (Enhanced, Dreadful), 3 Reaper's Pursuit, 3 Serration, 3 Rapid Ossification, 3 Evulsion, 3 Compound Fracture, 3 Necrotic Carapace

Ultimate: Soulrift (Prime, Supreme), 3 Finality, 3 Memento Mori, 3 Stand Alone, 3 Inspiring Leader

Key Passive: Ossified Essence

Rank 5 - Rogue

• Poison Rapid Fire Rogue
  

The Poison Rapid Fire Rogue is a strong but not top-tier build, currently ranked among the mid-tier options in DV 4 Season 7 build tier list. It sits just behind Necromancer (Pit 120) and above Druid (Pit 114), at a Pit 119 level. The Poison Rapid Fire Rogue excels by combining Poison damage with Chill effects to take advantage of several multiplicative damage bonuses. This allows the build to double dip into both damage types, making each hit from Rapid Fire increasingly potent as you stack more damage. While the build is solid for Pit pushing, it doesn’t perform as efficiently in speed farming compared to some of the top builds, like Spirit Born or Firebolt Sorceress, which can clear faster and handle mobs with greater ease.

Gear:

Main Weapon: Skyhunter

Offhand Weapon: Condemnation, Conceited Obsidian Blade

Helm: Cowl of the Nameless

Chest Armor: Shroud of False

Gloves: Runic Gloves of Retribution

Pants: Runic Leggings of Siphoned Victuals

Boots: Frostbitten Runic Cleats 

Amulet: Ocelot's Eye of Noxious Ice

Ring: Scoundrel's Kiss, Ring of Starless Skies

Skill Trees:

Basic: 1 Heartseeker (Enhanced, Fundamental)

Core: 26 Rapid Fire (Enhanced, Advanced)

Agility: 1 Caltrops (Enhanced)

Subterfuge: 1 Smoke Grenade (Enhanced, Countering), 1 Poison Trap (Enhanced, Subverting)

Imbuement: 1 Poison Imbuement (Enhanced, Mixed), 11 Frigid Finesse, 4 Alchemical Advantage, 2 Deadly Venom, 4 Debilitating Toxins

Ultimate: 3 Alchemist's Fortune, 7 Second Wind, 4 Innervation

Key Passive: Precision

Rank 6 - Druid

• Lightning Storm Druid

The Lightning Storm Druid is the top-performing Druid build in Diablo 4 this season, but compared to the other classes, it is significantly weaker, ranking as the lowest-performing class in the current meta. Despite being behind the pack, it has its strengths and is still capable of clearing all content in the game.·  Lightning Storm excels at area-of-effect (AoE) damage, making it highly effective against large mob clusters. The ability to strike multiple enemies simultaneously ensures you can clear packs efficiently.  Its damage output, while decent, cannot compete with the insane scaling seen in Spirit Born or even mid-tier builds like Bone Spirit Necromancer.

Gear:

Main Weapon: Shamanistic Staff of Retaliation

Helm: Tempest Roar

Chest Armor: Shroud of False 

Gloves: Unsung Ascetic's Wraps

Pants: Skinwalker's Runic Legging

Boots: Wildheart Hunger

Amulet: Unbending Choker of the Unsatiated

Ring: Ring of Starless Skies, Mjolnic Ryng

Skill Trees:

Basic: 1 Maul (Enhanced)

Core: 24 Lightning Storm (Enhanced, Raging), 1 Predatory Instinct, 3 Iron Fur

Defensive: 1 Earthen Bulwark (Enhanced), 1 Cyclone Armor, 1 Blood Howl (Enhanced, Preserving), 3 Backlash, 1 Ancestral Fortitude, 3 Vigilance

Companion: 3 Nature's Reach, 3 Feral Aptitude

Wrath Skills: 3 Electric Shock, 2 Bad Omen, 2 Endless Tempest, 1 Neurotoxin, 3 Envenom

Ultimate: 5 Cataclysm (Prime Supreme), 3 Natural Disaster, 3 Defiance, 3 Circle of Life, 2 Defensive Posture, 3 Catastrophe, 3 Quickshift, 3 Heightened Senses

Key Passive: Bestial Rampage
