Buildings that are the best for dominating the Gauntlet in Diablo 4 Season 3

During the third season of Diablo 4, the Gauntlet was introduced as the newest endgame activity. Over the course of eight minutes, players are tasked with achieving the highest score they possibly can. Every week, the layout and the enemies that spawn are reset, which means that you need to optimize your build in order to clear the area quickly and deal a lot of damage. Our goal is to assist you in climbing the Gauntlet leaderboards by highlighting the best builds that you should use during this season. Continue reading to learn more about the strengths of each build and how to obtain the highest possible score. Develop the HighlightsMassive area of effect damage is dealt by the Charge Hammer of the Ancients Barbarian. High mobility and sustained AOEBone Spear Necromancer - Long range damage and essence sustainability Ball Lightning Sorcerer - High mobility and sustained essential energyThis hybrid ranged/melee playstyle is known as the Barrage Rogue. When properly positioned, the Penetrating Shot Rogue is capable of dealing enormous damage to a single target. This versatile AOE, defense, and CC immunity is provided by the Pulverize Druid. When it comes to damage and defenses, the Arc Lash Sorcerer is a formidable opponent.

Barbarian in charge of the Charge Hammer of the AncientsSince the updates that were made during the Season of the Construct, the Hammer of the Ancients Barbarian has been considered a powerful build

• In a single blow, it is able to completely eliminate a large number of adversaries

• It is primarily lacking in terms of movement speed

• This build is the most effective one for the Gauntlet if you are able to mitigate the speed issue through the use of stats or shrine buffs

• It is possible for it to easily clear the weekly leaderboard if sufficient investment is made

• Sorcerer of the Ball LightningSince the game's initial release, the Ball Lightning Sorcerer has established itself as one of the most popular builds for Diablo 4

• Through the use of the Ball Lightning skill, it possesses a high mobility and an excellent area of effect damage potential overall

• Although it deals less damage with a single hit, this build is capable of landing multiple strikes in rapid succession

• By effectively managing its mana, it is able to effortlessly cut through the dense enemy groups that the Gauntlet is facing

• A Necromancer with a Bone SpearThe Bone Spear Necromancer is capable of dealing devastating damage over long ranges and has an essence that is virtually limitless

Inability to move around is a slight barrier to it. The ability of this build to thrive in the Gauntlet is made possible by the use of Aspects or boot affixes to compensate for the speed deficit. Additionally, it does not rely heavily on particular legendaries, which helps it avoid having excessive farming requirements. The Rogue BarrageAfter the initial nerfs to Twisting Blades, many people thought that Rogues were weak. On the other hand, the Barrage build offers a very distinctive hybrid playstyle that combines melee and ranged combat. The barrage itself is capable of making excellent damage at a distance. The use of Dash to dive into packs increases the damage dealt to a single target. An engaging Gauntlet run can be achieved through the use of the high risk, high reward style. A Rogue with a Penetrating ShotThe Penetrating Shot Rogue, in contrast to the majority of builds, requires strategic positioning in order to maximize damage. When it is carried out properly, however, it completely destroys hostile groups. This build is likely to be one of the best Rogue options for climbing the Gauntlet leaderboards in Season 3, despite the fact that it requires additional positioning.

Druid's pulverization. The Pulverize Druid does not reach its full potential until the endgame, when it achieves a fully stocked skill tree and receives bonuses from the Paragon Board. However, as the game progresses, its damage increases at an exponential rate. The Druid Spec is the most dominant in the Gauntlet when it is mastered because of the versatile combination of AOE abilities, defenses, and crowd control immunity that it possesses. A Sorcerer with Arc LashAn increased level of skill expression is possessed by the Arc Lash Sorcerer, just like the Penetrating Shot Rogue. However, when placed in the appropriate hands, it possesses incredible damage and defense. The dense enemy groups that the Gauntlets provide make it possible for this build to reach its full potential. Just make sure that you time your defenses appropriately in between the more powerful attacks. Over the course of Season 3, these builds are currently dominating the Gauntlet leaderboards. However, new optimizations are likely to emerge over the course of time. To achieve the highest possible scores, it is essential to have a solid understanding of enemy layouts and run progression, regardless of the spec.
