Season 33 Tier List: Solo Greater Rift Push Build Rankings
This page goes over the current state of each class in Season 33 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 33 is the Raekor Boulder Toss build. This Barbarian build emphasizes ranged devastation and pulverizes enemies into the ground with Ancient Spear Boulder Toss, with a vast array of buffs and tremendous mobility at his disposal.
Crusader
The strongest Crusader build for solo Greater Rift pushing in Season 33 is the Akkhan Condemn build. This Crusader build is the embodiment of the militant spellcaster fantasy, commanding a spectral unit of soldiers at its side and decimating the enemy in waves of holy destruction.
Demon Hunter
The strongest Demon Hunter build for solo Greater Rift pushing in Season 33 is the Natalya Spike Traps build. This Demon Hunter build uses the trapper-specific powers of the Natalya's Vengeance set to elevate the damage potential of Spike Traps through a deadly Caltrops combo.
Monk
The strongest Monk build for solo Greater Rift pushing in Season 33 is the Patterns of Justice Tempest Rush build. This Monk build uses the Tempest Rush-specific Patterns of Justice set to push the skill to endgame viability — resulting in a sustained damage, very fluid and relaxing playstyle, that still has some room for calculated and skillful play at the high end.
Necromancer
The strongest Necromancer build for solo Greater Rift pushing in Season 33 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 33 is the Mundunugu Spirit Barrage build. This Witch Doctor build offers a spellcasting-oriented, timing-sensitive, and quite bursty playstyle that uses the Mundunugu's Regalia set to empower its volleys of spiritual devastation.
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.
