Diablo 4 has been out for almost two weeks, and the metagame has started to take shape, even though it is obviously bound to shift and evolve over the coming months.

Any respectable ARPG has a wide variety of builds that are viable for each particular class, and Diablo 4 is no different. But not all builds are created equal, with some that are relegated to various types of content or stages of the game. If you want to know more about the content of the game have a look at our Diablo 4 beginners guide and Diablo 4 endgame content guide. And since every build also needs some items paired up with it, you can look at our Unique items list. This guide will encapsulate all of the current builds that are available here with handy links. So here they are.

Sorcerer

Best Sorcerer Build for Leveling– this is an ideal build to get you up to level 50, even though it can totally work for later stages as well if you don’t feel like respeccing yet.

Best Sorcerer Build for Endgame – probably the strongest current build that can help you reach max level, since Ice Shards overall seems to be dominating the Sorcerer meta.

Barbarian

Best Barbarian Build for Leveling – while getting to 50 shouldn’t be too hard with the Barbarian, this is still a more streamlined method of quickly going through the campaign.

Best Barbarian Build for Endgame – use this build if you want to spin to win since Whirlwind is currently the best AOE spell for the class.

Rogue
