The Antithesis of Rapid Fire Tired of the same old retread Demon Hunter builds? Consider shifting things up with this high-octane Demon Hunter rocket build. But be warned, the following variation requires a bit more precision than most. Instead of aimlessly spamming your Hatred spender, you must hold back a bit, lining up your shots carefully for devastation. Active … [Read more...]
Diablo 3 Class Builds
Here you'll find an archive of Diablo 3 class builds, along with some build mini-guides with additional notes and tips. We encourage you to submit builds as well. If you're using a build that you'd like to recommend, please fill out this short form and send it to us for inclusion in this category.
Tempest Rush Monk
The comeback Tempest Rush Monks disappeared for a time, and though they are now extremely viable again, only a small percentage of players have returned to this build. We're going to demonstrate how to make this fast moving build work for you. I Need Spirit! It’s tricky to use a spender constantly. You also don’t have a generator. You are going to need plenty of extra … [Read more...]
The Zen Witch Doctor
Relax, my friend. Stay awhile, and listen… Sometimes gameplay gets a little too frantic. Sometimes it’s nice to be able to play a little without getting all worked up and frantic. If you can have an army of pets doing the hard work for you, then why not consider a more relaxed style of play. Think Lebowski. Think McConaughey. Think about being able to watch a movie while … [Read more...]
The Cooldown Crusader: A Walking Nuke
As the new class, there is a lot of controversy over the Crusader. Players wanting to try the latest thing are critical, and the classes they are familiar with have had much more time to be balanced. Are Crusaders vastly underpowered, or are they just misunderstood? Does your Crusader suck because Blizzard failed, or do you just need to learn not to play her/him like a … [Read more...]
Wizard Build: The Glass Cannon
People play wizards for one reason and one reason only — to kill every enemy in the level before you can even see them. With the right build, you'll be able to clear the entire game in under two hours. Lightning Blast turns Electrocute into an AoE with every hit, and Arcane Orb is a wrecking ball with the Frozen Orb rune. Magic Weapon and Glass Cannon boost your attack rating … [Read more...]
Demon Hunter Build: Sting Like a Butterfly
Several demon hunter players have already cleared T6 Malthael. It's a powerful class, but it requires more finesse to play than a barbarian or crusader. Most of your skills boost your avoidance. Instead of surviving hits, you dodge and jump away without taking a scratch. Your main attack, Entangling Shot, slows enemies by 60 percent, and Smoke Screen and Vault let you get out … [Read more...]
Monk Build: Closest Thing to a Healer
This monk build is designed for group play, so solo players will want to choose a build with more DPS. You'll want to run Mantra of Healing full-time to prevent damage and boost healing in the group, and Breath of Heaven provides you with surprisingly robust burst healing when you run into nasty elites and named enemies. Cyclone Strike doesn't do much damage, but the Soothing … [Read more...]
Crusader Build: Mob Grinder
For this crusader build, you'll need a decent two-handed weapon which gives you incredible DPS. Fortunately, the Heavenly Strength passive lets you wield a shield at the same time, so you don't have to give up any of your survivability. With Schaefer's Hammer, you'll gain a huge AoE that can proc whenever you take a hit, and you'll be able to quickly tear through large groups … [Read more...]
