Season 33 Tier List: Solo Speed GR Rankings
This page goes over the current state of each class in Season 33 in respect to their solo speed clearing capabilities and provides a ranking of some of the builds currently available on the site.
Top Solo Speed GR Builds for each Class
Solo Speed GR is done first and foremost with experience farming efficiency in mind, measured in the speed of acquisition of Paragon levels; the item drop rewards cap out at GR90, which is a low bar for all capable builds. A good solo speed farming build will balance between speed (measured in both damage potential and maneuverability throughout the Rift levels) and toughness (measured in survivability, which translates in perseverance of buffs such as XP pools, etc.) When you factor in the time it takes to generate rift keys, you should aim for a clear time of between 2 and 5 minutes with your build. These are the builds that are optimized for rushing high rifts quickly to farm the most efficient experience for Paragon levels.
Barbarian
This agile, target assassination-oriented Barbarian build utilizes the Horde of the Ninety Savages set for its Frenzy-fueled carnage, layering an arsenal of synergistic legendary items onto a simple-but-deadly basis revolving around shouts.
Crusader
Empowered by the Aegis of Valor set, Fist of the Heavens marks the return of one of the most iconic Crusader builds, as surges of lightning crash from the heavens and envelop your enemies in deadly arcs.
Demon Hunter
Using the powers of the Gears of Dreadlands set, this Demon Hunter build combines the deadly precision of Hungering Arrow with the elegance of movement and battlefield maneuverability of Strafe.
Monk
Based on the versatile powers of the Legacy of Dreams bonus, the LoD Wave of Light Monk unites multiple legendary powers into an explosive, bursty and durable whole.
Necromancer
Combining the power of Death Nova-empowering legendaries with the flexible Legacy of Dreams bonus, the LoD Death Nova Necromancer is an AoE-centric, burst damage build.
Witch Doctor
This spellcasting-oriented, timing-sensitive, and quite bursty playstyle uses the Mundunugu's Regalia set to empower its volleys of spiritual devastation.
Wizard
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.
