With new endgame challenges coming like The Gauntlet, players will need to optimize their class builds to compete. This guide covers improvements needed to the class meta and strategies for topping Season 3 leaderboards.

Current State of the Meta

Rogue remains dominant due to versatility and high skill ceiling. Barbarian and Druid leveling feels sluggish. Necromancer and Sorcerer builds lack variety.

Needed Buffs and Adjustments

Tankier class leveling must be sped up. Minion skills and alternate Sorcerer elements demand buffs. These changes will broaden class viability in all content and D4 gold.

Mastering your Class

Focus on a single class and min-max legendary affixes and powers. Study optimal high-Paragon builds online to push limits.

Gearing Strategies

Target gear through rifts, Bounties and boss farming. Upgrade rares at Blacksmith. Save and auction extra Diablo 4 items to earn D4 Gold.

Optimizing Paragon Levels

Group up for fast and shared XP gains. Permanent boosts add up over seasons for a seasonal power advantage.

Crafting and Gems

Craft powerful ancients. Upgrade legendary gems for big damage. Empower them further through Greater Rifts.

Tackling Endgame Dungeons

Practice Immortal and Helliquary fights. Find groups if your gear isn't quite optimized. Defeating them faster earns Leaderboard clout.

Competing in Challenge Rifts

Master your class and map knowledge. Make the most of power-up shrines for faster clears. Place on cross-server boards for eternal fame.

Season Journey Objectives

Knock these out ASAP for a power spike. Help others to also boost your post-season Paragon total.

Season Rewards

Complete end-of-season objectives to earn exclusive cosmetics and trophies to show off your mastery.
