Diablo 4 Season 5 Endgame & Pit Tier List

To be unstoppable in the endgame content and The Pit in Diablo 4, a build with very high sustained damage will excel at taking down tough bosses and clearing content quickly. Elemental damage like fire, cold, and poison will be more powerful against most enemies. Being able to stay alive through large pulls of monsters or against hard-hitting enemies is also important. Life/mana leech or regeneration should be considered as well. Abilities that can kite or lock down groups of enemies make builds stronger for chaotic group scenarios like The Pit.
