Season 11 of Diablo 4 has officially pushed endgame progression into wild territory. With the introduction of the brand-new Tower system, players are racing to climb higher tiers than ever before-and the leaderboard tells a fascinating story. While many players focus on optimizing skill trees and Paragon boards, this season proves one thing above all else: gear is king, and the best players in the world are wearing items that look almost unreal. In this breakdown, we're going class by class, highlighting the rank-one builds currently dominating the Tower, while also reacting to some of the most absurd gear rolls ever seen in Diablo 4. Due to ongoing profile-viewing bugs, some builds show up as rank two or three, but make no mistake-the builds themselves are identical to rank one. What really separates these players isn't just the build choice-it's the sheer quality of their equipment. Barbarian: Hammer of the Ancients (HoTA) Reigns Supreme At the top of the Barbarian leaderboard sits the Hammer of the Ancients Barbarian, once again proving it's one of the strongest builds Diablo 4 has ever seen. With a top clear sitting around Tier 124, HoTA continues to scale absurdly well with resource generation and raw stat stacking. What really steals the spotlight here is the gear. The rank-one Barbarian is running a jaw-dropping number of Mythic items-nine in total, which is nearly unheard of. Highlights include: Harlequin Crest (Shako) with +24 Maximum Resource, massively boosting HoTA damage The Grandfather, further enhancing critical strike damage Ring of Starless Skies, reducing resource costs and enabling constant skill spam Melted Heart of Selig, not once, but twice Multiple Mythic rolls across armor slots, rings, and weapons This Barbarian has Mythics in almost every slot, turning an already top-tier build into something untouchable. Simply put: this is what you're competing against if you want to challenge the leaderboard. Necromancer: Shadow Blight Takes the Crown For Necromancers, the top Tower build is the Shadow Blight Necro, clearing up to Tier 117. This build revolves around stacking consecutive Shadow damage hits to rapidly ramp damage through the Shadowblight key passive. Gear-wise, this Necromancer is no slouch either: Two-handed Starless Skies The Grandfather Doombringer, offering massive survivability through damage reduction Strong sanctification rolls, including up to ~30% damage reduction Shadow damage multipliers and Accelerating Aspect synergies While the gear doesn't quite reach the insanity of the Barbarian's nine-Mythic setup, it's still completely cracked-and more than enough to push Shadow Blight into elite territory. Sorcerer: Crackling Energy with Esadora's Cameo Sorcerers are climbing the Tower using a Crackling Energy build centered on Esadora's Overflowing Cameo, hitting around Tier 120.
Tower Tier Recap (Solo) Here's how the top solo clears stack up in Season 11: Rogue-Tier 125 Barbarian (HoTA)-Tier 124 Druid (Pulverize)-Tier 123 Sorcerer-Tier 120 Spiritborn-Tier 120 Paladin-Slightly below the top tiers Group play has already pushed clears to Tier 147, meaning a full Tier 150 clear may be just around the corner. Final Thoughts: Gear Defines Season 11 Season 11's Tower has made one thing crystal clear: this is the most gear-dependent endgame Diablo 4 has ever had. While strong builds matter, leaderboard dominance now requires near-perfect sanctifications, extreme stat stacking, and in some cases, an almost comical number of Mythic items. The Barbarian running nine Mythics stands as the ultimate symbol of Season 11's ceiling-but there are still more approachable paths, especially with builds like Spiritborn and Sorcerer showing what smart optimization can achieve. Whether you're chasing rank one or just pushing personal bests, one thing's certain: the Tower has officially raised the bar.
