Time: 2025-11-10
With the PTR for Patch 2.5.0 wrapped up, the stage is set for Diablo 4 Season 11. This season shakes up the endgame meta with the introduction of The Tower, a new leaderboard-driven event replacing The Pit.
Our tier list, based on PTR performance, ranks classes by their peak potential in this new endgame challenge. Remember, balance changes are likely before launch, but this gives a clear picture of the evolving meta.
The Tower: The New Endgame Benchmark
The Tower operates similarly to The Pit but comes with its own dedicated leaderboard, providing hard data on class performance. This list ranks classes based on their highest cleared floors during the PTR.
Diablo 4 Season 11 Class Tier List
6. Rogue
PTR Peak: Tier 94
Leading Build: Death Trap
The Rogue finds itself in a tricky spot. An early PTR build centered on the new Death's Pavane legendary was swiftly balanced, leaving the class searching for a new identity. The dependable Death Trap build currently leads but struggles to keep pace with other classes in high-tier Tower content. While players are experimenting with Twisting Blades and other skills, the Rogue needs post-launch adjustments to climb the ranks.
5. Sorcerer
PTR Peak: Tier 103
Leading Build: Crackling Energy / Lightning Spear
The Sorcerer's power has recalibrated. The loss of last season's Chaos Perks and adjustments to the Teleport Enchantment have impacted its strength. However, a powerful new unique, Orsivane, opens up creative playstyles by granting Enchantment effects to defensive skills not on your bar. The classic Crackling Energy build, supercharged by items like Esadora's Overflowing Cameo, remains the top performer for pushing The Tower.
4. Necromancer
PTR Peak: Tier 103 (Faster clear than Sorcerer)
Leading Build: Shadowblight
Necromancers are neck-and-neck with Sorcerers. The potent Shadowblight build continues to be a reliable workhorse. However, a new contender is rising: the Golem Necromancer. The new Gravebloom unique replaces your single Golem with three faster, deadlier versions that have a chance to attack twice. This build has received a significant boost and could become a major force in Season 11.
3. Druid
PTR Peak: Tier 105
Leading Build: Cataclysm
The Druid secures a top spot with its formidable Cataclysm build. This build leverages a "snapshotting" mechanic to amplify the ultimate's damage to incredible levels. Its power is heavily amplified by the reworked Melted Heart of Selig, which grants massive maximum resource based on your primary attribute. This synergizes perfectly with the Druid's Paragon Board, allowing for devastating, screen-clearing Cataclysm casts.
2. Spiritborn
PTR Peak: Tier 109
Leading Build: Evade Eagle
The Spiritborn excels with its lightning-fast Evade Eagle build. While known for speed-farming, it also packs a serious punch for endgame pushing. It is the premier Spiritborn build for utilizing the Aspect of Unyielding Hits, which converts your high armor value into immense weapon damage. With the redesigned armor system, this build achieves both incredible speed and top-tier damage output.
1. Barbarian
PTR Peak: Tier 124+
Leading Build: Hammer of the Ancients (HOTA)
The Barbarian stands alone at the pinnacle of the PTR meta. Its dominance is primarily due to the Hammer of the Ancients (HOTA) build's insane synergy with the reworked Melted Heart of Selig. The Barbarian's high primary attribute from wielding four weapons translates into an enormous resource pool via the Selig. This, in turn, fuels two uncapped damage multipliers: one from Ramaladni's Magnum Opus and, most importantly, the inherent critical strike bonus from the HOTA skill itself. This combination allowed the build to push tiers previously thought impossible.
