This Tier List defines a build's performance in pinnacle encounters such as Tormented Bosses like Duriel, Andariel & more. The main criteria is kill speed but we also consider overall ease of play.
The arrows indicate where an item has moved since our last Tier List update.
Builds are ranked from top to bottom, left to right within tiers.
Builds marked with * are untested and their ranking reflects our best guess.
