As Season 7 of Diablo 4 is about to begin later today, many players are looking for what to pick in regards to a top-tier build that is both powerful and easy to gear up. So, let’s break down some of the predicted S-Tier builds this season and figure out which ones are the most accessible:
Necromancer – Blood Wave
The Blood Wave Necromancer build is a favorite for its massive AoE damage and great sustain. The build itself is rather new to Diablo 4, as it was not among the strongest choices up until this Season 7, and has not been widely covered before. However, it is surprisingly easy to gear for: while Mythic Uniques can boost its power, you only need one regular Unique to push through endgame content comfortably. This makes it an excellent pick for players who want to hit the ground running without spending forever farming.
Barbarian – Earthquake HotA
Earthquake Barbarians pack a punch with Hammer of the Ancients combined with Earthquake damage. The best part? The gear requirements are pretty simple. A few Aspects and one key Unique are all you need to make this build shine, making it a great option for anyone wanting to jump into high-tier content quickly. On top of that, because of the similarities in talents and gear, you can begin using your earthquake Barbarian as you level up, even before reaching the endgame.
Spiritborn – Razor Wings
Spiritborn players have a very solid option this season: Razor Wings. The build revolves around the Aspect of Endless Talons, which boosts damage significantly. The build is not only easy to gear but also rather simple to play, making it a great choice for anyone trying out the class for the first time. And while Quill Volley still ranks higher on our lists, Razor Wings offers a refreshing change of pace for players who spent Season 6 throwing feathers.
Sorcerer – Ball Lightning
The Sorcerer might not be dominating this season, but the Lightning Ball build is still worth a look. It offers strong mobility and burst damage while being relatively easy to gear compared to other Sorcerer builds. If you are looking for a caster that does not demand an insane grind, this one might be for you.
Rogue – Rain of Arrows
Rogues have a standout build this season with Rain of Arrows, which sits at the top for power and versatility. However, it comes with heavy gear requirements, so if you are after something easier to gear for, Dance of Knives is a solid choice that also ranks well in Endgame tier lists.
Druid – Cataclysm
While the Druid has a new top S-Tier build rising in popularity this season, it ranks lower on this list due to its heavy gear requirements. The Cataclysm build relies on multiple endgame items to shine, making it much harder to gear compared to the other options mentioned.
So, Which Build Should You Pick?
If you are looking for the easiest S-Tier builds to gear for in Season 7, the Blood Wave Necromancer and Earthquake Barbarian are great choices. They are both powerful and accessible, and let you jump into the action without needing a ton of rare items. For something a little different, the Spiritborn’s Razor Wings and Rogue’s Dance of Knives are also good picks.
At the end of the day, the best build is the one you enjoy playing, but if you are after something that is easy to gear and ready to transition into endgame content, these options should help you make a choice! Happy farming, and see you in Sanctuary!
