How do we rank classes in our Diablo 4 tier lists?

Class rankings in Diablo 4 tier lists are determined by evaluating numerous factors for each class across different activities. The tier lists are divided into general and specific rankings. The general ranking considers aspects such as damage per second (DPS), performance of various builds of the same class, and the ease of leveling. Activities like mob and boss battles, Nightmare Dungeons (NMDs), and farming effectiveness also play a crucial role.

Factors for Ranking

  • Damage Per Second (DPS) and Performance: Measuring the class's overall effectiveness during fights.
  • Ease of Leveling: How straightforward it is to advance from one level to the next.
  • Mob and Boss Encounters: The ability to handle groups of enemies and significant boss fights.
  • Nightmare Dungeons (NMDs): Performance in these challenging dungeons.
  • Farming Efficiency: Speed and efficiency in farming for resources and experience points.

Special Considerations

A separate tier list is dedicated to specific builds, which take into account the current meta and recent updates, including the introduction of new uniques and other equipment. The effectiveness in different seasonal realms, speed farming capabilities, ease of use for beginners, and community feedback are also heavily weighted.

This comprehensive analysis ensures that every class is evaluated fairly, taking into account both solo and team play dynamics and the community’s perspectives on the current meta.
