Top 10 Best Builds for Diablo 4 Season 10 (All Classes)

Hey folks, this is Riker with a Diablo

IV video on the top 10 builds in season

10 for pit pushing. These are the 10

most powerful builds that deal the most

damage and have the most survivability

to push the most challenging content in

this game. If you want to test yourself

to see how far you can go in the pit,

then picking one of these 10 builds is

what you're going to want to do. And

because season 10 is a season of power

creep, you may be pushing further than

you've ever pushed before. Do check out

my ultimate season 10 guide for how to

get the most out of the season theme.

And if you just want to know what builds

are good to play all around for every

class, I have my class tier list video

that you can find as well. And as usual,

all of my Diablo content can be found on

my website, reker.com, which brings us

to a word from this video sponsor. I

built my website using Squarespace, and

I was able to do everything myself

quickly and easily and with zero

education in the field. All thanks to

how easy Squarespace is to work with.

kkekke and use code Riker. Now, before

we hit the top 10, we're going to start

with an honorable mention, a rogue build

and the only rogue build we're going to

talk about. That's how far behind rogue

is in pit pushing. The build is

heartseker, which actually came out of

nowhere. I did not see heartseeker

making a comeback in season 10, but here

we are. I used to love heartseker. It's

a basic attack build that uses the shard

of veratheal unique that juices up your

basic skill damage but makes some cost

resource. And then you want to stack

about 21 points into the heartseker

skill. That takes us to number 10, a

sorcerer build, ball lightning. Yes,

ball lightning has had a comeback. When

you're pit pushing, you'll want to go

for max damage. And for that, you're

going to bring out the strike of

stormhorn unique focus. Now, strike of

stormhorn is an interesting item here as

an implicit property. It has chance for

ball lightning projectiles to cast twice

is converted to chance to cast a super

ball lightning. So, any tempers or

anything that is giving you a chance to

cast ball lightning twice. Instead,

you're going to get a super ball

lightning. What does that mean? It's not

the super bowl, but still great. So, the

other modifier here on Strike of

Stormhorn, Ball Lightning splashes on

impact, dealing 300% of its total damage

instantly, and it stuns enemies for 1

second if it reaches its max range.

Super Ball Lightnings are larger. They

deal 125% increased damage. That's more

than double, have a higher lucky hit

chance, and their stun duration is

increased to 3 seconds. So, they really

live up to their name. So, you'll be

spamming ball lightning on enemies, and

you want to take advantage of as well

the galvanic azeride pants. Lightning

damage leaves enemies magnetized for 4

seconds, causing them to emit crackling

energy and increasing all lightning

damage they take from you by a bunch. If

two magnetized enemies hit each other

with crackling energy, they pull each

other together. So, this is a

self-grouping ability. Enemies will be

grouped together, making them therefore

more susceptible to your ball

lightnings. Moving on to number nine, a

barbarian build, lunging strike. Now,

this is a dual primary build, and it's

still coming together as to what the

best execution of this is. We're seeing

some really crazy stuff coming out of

China right now. So, the version that

I'm looking at is using Lunging Strike

as a primary along with Bash as a

secondary and is also working in Hammer

of the Ancients as a way to bring even

more damage multipliers into the fold.

We're looking at the chaos power

unstable power which makes your basic

skills guaranteed to crit and overpower

for double damage but gives them a 3se

secondond cool down. Then we got the

dual threat chaos power which makes

casting a basic skill also use another

equipped basic skill dealing 80% of

normal damage. So whenever you use

either bash or lunging strike it's going

to activate both. They're each on 3se

secondond cool down so you're able to

pop each of those every 1.5 seconds.

We're using a shard of arathelial to

buff our basic skill damage. We're

working in the new saber of tazgall to

gain increased damage for each damaging

skill you have equipped and another

multiplier for 15 seconds when each of

those skills is used. So this build is

really I was to say flask piano. If you

know the reference, you know the

reference. You are constantly spamming

your buttons with this build. That takes

us to number eight, the quill volley

spirit. This build is going to make use

of chaos armor to wield the power of

both the rod of keileki as well as the

seepa both weapons. The rod of kepppi

will turn quill volley into a basic

skill. The sepa turbocharges your basic

skills. This combination in fact enables

a lot of spirit builds this season and

then we're just kind of filling out with

more damage and toughness multipliers.

Then coming in at number seven, we have

the minion necromancer. Minion builds on

the rise this season. Now, this variant

of a summoner build is going to be using

Grim Reapers, the chaos perk that makes

your skeleton warriors attacks have a

25% chance to use reap, your own skill

reap, which is why you're going to want

to turbocharge your skill tree to buff

up reap, dealing 150% of normal damage

instead of the regular attacks. So, of

course, we got the shard of arthiel to

buff our basic skills. We use the

unstable power chaos perk which again

buffs our basic skills but gives them a

3se secondond cool down. But hey, who

cares because it's our minions

triggering the basic skill. And that

takes us to number six, the best

necromancer build, shadow blight. This

is the best necromancer build by far.

And it's all based on the shadow blight

keystone passive. Shadow damage infects

enemies with shadow blight for 2

seconds. Every eighth time an enemy

receives shadow damage from you while

they are affected by shadow blight, they

take an additional 200%

multiplicative shadow damage. And shadow

bllight's damage is increased by 70% of

your corrupting damage and shadow damage

bonuses up to 450%. So basically, we

want to be hitting enemies as quickly as

possible to get to that eighth instance

of shadow damage. This build requires an

entirely different kind of gearing than

normal where normally you're just

looking like, "Okay, here's one skill.

What are all the damage multipliers for

this skill?" No, your skills now are

just delivery systems for the shadow

blight damage. So, you're going to want

to equip darkness skills. You're going

to want to equip skills and turn them

into darkness skills. Like blighted

corpse explosion, right? Turns corpse

explosion into a darkness skill. And

instead of just exploding once, it turns

it into a dot, giving it the ability to

tick multiple times or have enemies walk

into it. We're going to want to take the

Eban Piercer in order to transform

blight into a skill that also shoots

four smaller projectiles that pierce

enemies, meaning it goes through them,

can hit multiple enemies, and deals

corrupting damage over time. Again,

damage ticks. And then soul rift, our

ultimate. This is a corruption damage

thing, right? For eight seconds, you

consume surrounding enemies, dealing

corrupting damage per second. You might

think, well, that's great and all, but I

can only pop it once every 50 seconds.

cuz I probably got to stack a bunch of

cool down, right? Not in season 10.

Because of the chaos perk, alter the

balance, your base, Sorry, I'm so

excited I bumped my mic here. Your base

core skills are now empowered as

ultimate skills. And your base ultimate

skills are now altered to also be core

skills. So, your alts are now core

skills. They cost 70 essence. That means

no more cool down, meaning you will be

able to maintain your soul rift at all

times. So you have a shadow storm

spinning around you constantly dealing

damage ticks to multiple enemies. Season

10 makes shadow blight reach its

ultimate form. That takes us to number

five, a druid build, shred. Shred's a

really fun build. I played it on PTR. It

is really fast, very mobile, struggles a

bit on single target damage. Shred has a

number of different legendary aspects

that buff it. We're going to want to

work them all in. We're going to be

constantly critically hitting thanks to

the purge the infected chaos perk.

Dealing direct damage to a poisoned

enemy guarantees a crit, and enemies are

going to be constantly poisoned with

this build. Speaking of poisoned, I'll

also make special mention of the flesh

render variant of Shred. That is still a

solid option in season 10. With a flesh

render variant, Shred is not your damage

dealer. The flesh render unique is.

Defensive skills deal damage to nearby

poisoned enemies. So again, either way,

you're going to be constantly poisoning

enemies, but with the flesh render

variant, you're going to be popping your

defensive skills to actually deal the

damage. That takes us to number four,

the spirit crushing hand build. This

build is all about spamming crushing

hand. You'll be leaning on the

unrelenting aspect to buff the damage of

your crushing hand. And thanks to the

chaos armor of season 10, you can

actually work two different weapons into

this build by putting them on chaos

armor, whether it's your helm, your

gloves, your pants, your boots, or your

chest. And that's going to be the Sepa

as well as the rod of Keepalei. The

SepaC makes your basic skills deal

increased damage and always use their

third attack. And the rod of Keelei

makes your core skills now additionally

basic skills and free to cast. And when

cast at max resource, your core skills

consume all your resource to cast at

their largest size with guaranteed

crits. Just lots of big buffs all

around. That takes us to number three,

the druid companion build. If there's a

season to play a minion build, this is

it. Ravens are going to be our star

here. You're going to have a full

unkindness of ravens surrounding you.

It's it's a murder of crows. A group of

crows is a murder. A group of ravens is

an unkindness.

You can't make this up. We're going to

take the one with nature key passive

that makes our companion skills each

gain one additional companion and deal a

bunch more damage. We're going to take

the shepherd's aspect. Companion skills

deal additional damage per companion you

have. We're going to use the new unique

item, the Kilt of Blackwing. Ravens deal

increased damage and shape-shifting into

a different form or activating a

companion skill summons a raven that

attacks nearby enemies. Summoning a

raven has a chance to call forth an

unkindness for 10 seconds, increasing

the number of ravens summoned to three

for the duration. So many ravens being

summoned here. We're also going to take

the Stormcrows aspect to make ravens

deal lightning damage and have their

damage increased. We're going to use the

new seasonal perk, the chaos perk,

Savagery, that makes your companion

skills turn them into core skills and

makes your companions grow in size and

deal 30% increased damage. At that

point, it's just about building up all

the synergistic damage multipliers. That

takes us to number two, the spirit born

payback build. Let's look at the payback

skill to begin with. It's got a

15-second cool down. You smash enemies

in front of you dealing damage. And when

you're attacked, you have a chance to

reduce payback's active cooldown. So,

we're going to take the poised payback

skill upgrade that turns payback into a

core skill. And then we're going to use

the rod of kelei in order to turn core

skills into basic skills and make them

free to cast. So with this combo, every

time we cast payback, we're going to

blow through our entire resource pool.

The more resource we blow, the better

the effect. So we want to be able to

restore all of our resource really

easily. So that's where the a beast

cornered chaos perk comes in. Spending

resources also drains a percentage of

your life equal to 30% of the resources

spent. refunding those resources. Stack

a bunch of resource generation and we're

going to be instantly restoring all of

our resource. Now, you might say, "Hey,

um, but that leaves us with only 10%

life. That's why we focus on generating

barrier instead, which is basically a

separate life pool." That takes us to

number one, another druid build. Here we

have pulverize. I love pulverize. This

is the build that I'm running. Now, if

you're building up a pulverized druid

over time, you first need the shockwave

aspect to really get it online. But then

the next step up where it transforms

into something else, something far more

powerful, is when you get the rotting

Lightbringer. This is a unique weapon.

It makes pulverize form a puddle around

you, and while enemies are in that

puddle, you are guaranteed to overpower

and it's going to deal a bunch of extra

damage. And casting bulverize also

causes all nearby puddles to splash

their damage for a lesser amount of

damage, but nonetheless it adds up. The

druid has insane chaos perks this

season. Overabundance. Every 50 spirit

you generate above your max increases

your damage by 10% for 5 seconds. This

bonus stacks but does not refresh. This

works out to a huge damage multiplier.

Then purge the infected. Your core

skills also apply 200% of their base

damage as poisoning over 4 seconds. And

dealing direct damage to a poison enemy

spends five spirit to be a guaranteed

crit. Then we use the Bronn over brains

chaos perk which makes us deal even more

overpower damage. And like we said with

that rotting lightbringer we are

guaranteed to overpower. We work in the

earth sign strength key passive. This

buffs us so that when we are in a

werebear form, which we will be at all

times, we're going to deal even more

overpower damage. And then we're filling

things out by buffing our crit damage as

well as buffing our grizzly bear form.

So that folks wraps up our top 10, but

the season will continue to evolve.

We'll have an update video coming out a

little bit later in the season, maybe a

week or two to see what new builds have

emerged, what has risen to the top,

anything unexpected. So, do check back

and sign off in the comments with what

builds you think should also be in the

top 10. Thanks for watching. Special
