Season 33 Tier List: Solo Greater Rift Push Build Rankings
This page goes over the current state of each class in Season 34 in respect to their solo clearing capabilities and provides a full ranking of each build currently available on the site.
Top Solo Greater Rift Pushing Builds for each Class
Barbarian
The strongest Barbarian build for solo Greater Rift pushing in Season 34 is the LoD-based Hammer of the Ancients Barbarian; with the Fire element at his side, this build utilizes the adaptable Legacy of Dreams bonuses for a powerful Hammer of the Ancients build that drops clunky set mechanics for a simpler, to-the-point playstyle.
Crusader
The strongest Crusader build for solo Greater Rift pushing in Season 34 is the Aegis of Valor Fist of the Heavens build. This Crusader build marks the return of one of the most iconic holy warrior builds, as surges of lightning crash from the heavens and envelop your enemies in deadly arcs.
Demon Hunter
The strongest Demon Hunter build for solo Greater Rift pushing in Season 34 is the Unhallowed Essence Multishot build. This Demon Hunter build boasts an iconic, screen-wide clearing nuke while maintaining all the safety and mobility of far-range playstyles.
Monk
The strongest Monk build for solo Greater Rift pushing in Season 34 is the Raiment Generator build. This control-heavy, sustain damage Monk build functions using the Shenlong's Spirit set — an engine that converts Spirit generation into raw damage, beating your enemies into pulp through basic attacks alone.
Necromancer
The strongest Necromancer build for solo Greater Rift pushing in Season 34 is the Trag'Oul Death Nova build. This Necromancer build uses the powers of the Trag'Oul's Avatar set to turn the very forces of life against their enemies, spilling forth devastation concocted from the Necromancer's own blood.
Witch Doctor
The strongest Witch Doctor build for solo Greater Rift pushing in Season 34 is the Jade Harvester build. This Witch Doctor build is dedicated to hex-casting rather than the traditional Witch Doctor role of a summoner, leaning on a bursty, melee range spellcaster playstyle.
Wizard
The strongest Wizard build for solo Greater Rift pushing in Season 33 is the Legacy of Dreams Meteor build. This Wizard build offers a high-burst, timing-sensitive playstyle that brings devastating damage. This build excels at clearing massive amounts of grouped up monsters and elites, and brings a mechanically and visually satisfying playstyle to GR pushing — both solo and in parties.
Full Build Tier List
The difference between the tiers below is roughly equal to 5 GR levels. Also remember that builds evolve and adapt, and the tier list below will almost certainly end up over or undervaluing some builds as they play out over the season. This list is by now means set in stone, and has plenty of room for change as we learn more about the new builds.
