Best endgame builds for each class in Diablo 4 Season 5

The best endgame builds will carry you through much of the challenging post-game content in Diablo 4, whether it be any of the Nightmare Dungeons, the Pit of the Artificer, or the Helltide.

With Season 5 now in full swing, what better way to gear up a new seasonal character than with any of the builds listed below, setting yourself up perfectly for success.

Best endgame builds in Diablo 4

There are many great builds in Diablo 4, allowing for all kinds of playstyles. While you can play the game however you want and succeed, there are some class builds that are much better than others. These have all been crafted with builds from maxroll.gg in order to provide the best information.

There have been some changes in Season of the Infernal Hordes that have altered many of the top builds though, so here are some of the best possible endgame builds:

Best Barbarian endgame build in Diablo 4

While Whirlwind has dominated many of the best Barbarian builds since the game was released, builds based around the Bash ability have become a favourite as of late.

Skills

The skills for this build are as follows:

Stats

As you might imagine, Barbarians tend to focus on strength when it comes to stats, and this build is no exception. The order in which you want to focus on your stats is:

• Strength
• Willpower
• Dexterity
• Intelligence

Strength, of course, will increase our damage output, but it's just as important to have high Willpower. This is to manage the huge Fury cost of using these skills.

Aspects, Uniques & Stones

Here are the Aspects you want to really round out the build, any Unique items you should try to get, as well as which of the new Vampiric Powers works well with it. The Aspects we recommend are:

• Aspect of the Moonrise
• Aspect of Adaptability
• Conceited Aspect
• Edgemaster's Aspect
• Rapid Aspect
• Crown of Lucion
• Paingorer's Gauntlets
• Shard of Verathiel
• Ring of Starless Skies

Aspect of the Moonrise is essential for this build, as your constant use of 'Bash' provides multiple stacks of attack speed increases. This also pairs exceptionally well with the Aspect of Adaptability, which generates more than enough of your primary resource to keep the damage going.

Best Sorcerer endgame build in Diablo 4

The fantasy of playing a Sorcerer is to have spells constantly whizzing around you, damaging anyone stupid enough to come close. The Firewall build is an excellent way to do exactly that, with constant damage happening all around you.

Skills

The skills for this endgame build in Diablo 4 are as follows:

Stats

As a Sorcerer, your number one stat is always Intelligence. This governs the strength of your spells, as well as your mana regeneration. After Intelligence, Dexterity is your next port of call. This will give you more critical damage and, crucially, dodge chance, as you will be facing a lot of damage and need to avoid it at all costs.

The priority order of your stats is:

• Intelligence
• Dexterity
• Willpower
• Strength

Aspects, Uniques and Stones

Here are the Aspects you need to complete this build, any Unique items you should strive for:

• Incendiary Aspect
• Aspect of Shared Misery
• Prodigy's Aspect
• Edgemaster's Aspect

The best Unique items for this build are Raiment of the Infinite and Godslayer Crown, as they will gather enemies into smaller groups to focus your attacks on. In terms of Stones, we recommend Tempest and Flash of Adrenaline as your Governing options, as they increase damage dealt, and spread lighting to large crowds.

Best Rogue endgame build in Diablo 4

Perhaps one of the most powerful endgame builds in Diablo 4, the Shadow Twisting Blades Rogue build is a surefire way to erase just about any group of enemies that stand in your way. This build has been one of the strongest since day one, and that fact has not changed.

Skills

The Shadow Twisting Blades build, as the name suggests, makes primary use of the Twisting Blades skill. With some other skills and Aspects, the build around Twisting Blades turns it into a monstrous ability.

Here are the skills for the Shadow Twisting Blades build:

Stats

Stats are not the most important part of this build, but you will still want to focus on Dexterity. Dexterity will increase your damage output, so be sure to prioritise that. Otherwise, the stat order you should focus on is the following:

• Dexterity
• Intelligence
• Strength
• Willpower

Aspects, Uniques and Stones

Below is the list of Aspects you will want to focus on, as well as any Unique items that are beneficial:

• Bladedancer's Aspect
• Aspect of the Umbral
• Ravenous Aspect
• Aspect of Disobedience
• Aspect of Shared Misery

The best Unique item for this build is Tibault's Will, which increases your damage output when you are Unstoppable. Flash of Adrenaline and Lightning Bolt are absolutely perfect Stones for this build, as they capitalise on the time you'll spend in close proximity to each enemy, and dramatically enhance your damage potential.

Best Necromancer endgame build in Diablo 4

It has been a power struggle at the top between Bone Spirit and Infinimist for the best Necromancer build in the endgame, but the former has won out in Season 5.

This has arguably the highest single-hit damage potential in the entire game, letting you deal an uncompromising amount of punishment to any enemy unlucky enough to find itself within your sights.

Skills

Here are the skills you should unlock for this build:

Stats

As is generally the case with Necromancer builds, Intelligence is your primary stat. You needn't worry too much about it until you start working on your Paragon Board, but where possible you should focus on Intelligence and all but ignore Strength.

The order you should focus stats is as follows:

• Intelligence
• Dexterity
• Willpower
• Strength

Aspects, Uniques and Stones

Below is the list of Aspects you will want to focus on, as well as any Unique items that are beneficial:

• Aspect of Swelling Curse
• Aspect of Grasping Veins
• Aspect of Torment
• Aspect of Serration
• Blood Getter's Aspect
• Shattered Spirit's Aspect
• Imprisoned Spirit's Aspect
• Shattered Spirit's Aspect
• Banished Lord's Talisman
• Blood Moon Breeches
• Path of Trag'oul
• Tibault's Will
• Harlequin Crest
• The Grandfather
• Melted Heart of Selig

The various Aspects generally increase your damage, which is what propels this build into the upper echelons - particularly when combining Bone Spirit with Bone Prison.

Best Druid endgame build in Diablo 4

The Landslide Druid build has surged into the top spot for Season 5, after important buffs to Unique items like Earthbreaker and Unsung Ascetic's Wraps, combined with the excellent strength of the Nature's Fury Key Passive and, of course, the Landslide skill.

Skills

The skills for this build are pretty straightforward, as it is really the gear that brings it all together:

Make sure that you've also unlocked Nature's Fury in the Key Passive slot, as that is an essential part of this build's overall strength.

Stats

Willpower and Dexterity are your key stats here, as they will increase your skill damage and critical chance, which we will use a lot of. Strength does next to nothing for this build, so you can largely disregard it.

The skill priority order for the Werewolf Tornado build is:

• Willpower
• Dexterity
• Intelligence
• Strength

Aspects, Uniques & Stones

Here are the Aspects you want to really round out the build, any Unique items you should try to get:

• Aspect of Retaliation
• Crashstone Aspect
• Aspect of Quicksand
• Aspect of the Umbral
• Aspect of the Aftershock
• Subterranean Aspect
• Aspect of the Trampled Earth
• Symbiotic Aspect
• Aspect of Natural Balance
• Earthbreaker
• Unsung Ascetic's Wraps
• Vasily's Prayer
• Tibault's Will
• Wildheart Hunger
• Ring of Starless Skies

As mentioned, both Unsung Ascetic's Wraps and Earthbreaker are essential Uniques for this build, alongside Legendary Aspects like Aftershock, Subterranean, and Trampled Earth. These all contribute to a massive amount of damage, making this a fantastic build for endgame Druids.
