Season 8 Project Diablo 2 Tier List/Infographic In-Depth Video! - All Classes - 100+ Builds Tested!

- The Season 8 PD2 Tier List/Infographic is better than ever, now equipped with Budget and Hardcore indicators for every build for mapping in the late game! All 7 Project Diablo 2 (PD2) Classes and 118 Builds (Built around Skills and Skill Procs with Synergies) were evaluated for Late Game Mapping strength throughout the PD2 Season 8 Closed Beta (Season 8 Starts Sept 22nd10am PST)! 70+ Hours of testing was done, with ~20 Closed Beta Build Mini Guide and Demo Videos posted on this channel for this season alone, along with an additional 50+, relevant guides from previous seasons! Complete testing footage is available in my Twitch VODs! Testing is performed with near maxed out builds in T3 maps (Closed Beta doesn't allow for testing of corruptions) for purposes of standardization. As Beta Patches came in, Builds/Skills were tested and retested till the end! Tier differences from last season are the result of changes that can be viewed in the S8 Patch Notes, improved testing, and updated relative positioning. In addition to the Late Game Solo Mapping Tier List which includes build mapping competence in Fortified Maps, Hardcore, and on a Budget, I also provide several Infographic overviews of the best Ladder Starters and Uber Killers (Uber Tristram/Diablo Clone/Rathma), Biggest Movers (from S7 to S8), Overall Top 10 Solo Mappers, Overall Class Power Ranking, Newly Listed Builds in Season 8, Group Mapping Powerhouses, Solo Dungeon Capability, and S8 Map Tiers and Immunities.
The Tier List shown in the video is accurate as of the release of the Open Beta Patch Notes on 9/18/23. In response to any last minute patch additions, additional Tier List changes may be made accordingly just before or after the season begins. Make sure to check the Spreadsheet for updates in the days just before and after the reset! I rate all Builds in their Late Game Mapping speed/feel from Tiers S-F (S, A, B, C, D, F) with A/A+ being my gold standard for a Strong/Balanced Build, and S- or above perhaps being a bit or more than a bit Overpowered (one of the best mapping builds - god mode with gear!) and F being Don't Touch. Keep in mind that builds that are A can crush like an S-Tier build in lower tier maps as well! Hope this video helps build confidence in choosing and/or working towards Builds throughout Project Diablo 2 Season 7!

Huge props to Senpai because he is super busy now a days since he has a job on top of doing this as well as the rest of the dev team. On top of Huge props to DH for all of this time and effort he puts into these tier lists season after season after season. I am surprised that the nerfs to Lycanthropy haven't effected any of the Shape Shifting Druids because I think the nerf to the Life percent from 10% to 2% is huge but that's just me. I can see PSN creeper being very good at leveling up early game (through Normal at least).
Man Senpai is bounded and determined that us players use ferocity because he has buffed that item so many times the last couple of seasons.
Its strange too because it just keeps making zeal pally better which i don't think is the intent lol
Can confirm poison creeper is great for normal, but it drops off sharply
Watching your tier list before the season start is nearly is a must, awesome as always dude!
Thanks for putting in the time and effort to make this, much love.
Thanks for making this again!! Looking forward to S8 🎉
Thanks Dark! Always appreciated to have your list :D
Ty for this huge season introduction as always!
Amazing work man ! You got me into PD2 thanks to this build table !
You're the GOAT. The only person I can sit through a 4 hour spreadsheet with. If this was work I'd off myself. Appreciate the effort and data.
As always an amazing work. Thanks DH!
cant start a PD2 season without DH's tier list!! thanks man for the effort
He's the GOAT
Always appreciate these guides DH thank you sir!
Always lookin out for this, thanks as always DH!!!
Thank you DarkHumility I love your content! Much props to you and best of luck on your drops!
Thanks for all the work preparing this.
Thank you very much sir for this huuuge job. Your tierlists really help to make a choice at every season, this game has soooo much different builds. Also big thanks to the devteam for this awesome mod!
PS gonna start windy druid and maybe phoenix or ww sin or fire zon later
Thank you DH for the VERY detailed Tier List.
For this season im starting with four mates and two of them play the game for the first time. We are running mostly Summon Builds like Druid, Necro and Ama and running another Fire Druid on top.
Damn hyped for tomorrow and thanks also to Senpai and his team for maintaining this mod!
Did you skip over leap Barb? Just wanting the quick rundown on the standard version
We all give a bow to u sir for all your work. Thank you.
The grand the great! :D awsome work as always man!
What we are all waiting for ! thx chief
Thanks for all the info, very well made.
"holy shit. he added a budget indicator to the infographic
He is the greatest human" - wappn8r.
I agree. You are the GOAT.
im new to pd2 and i think its an incredible game, thank you for your effort making this tier list
great work, brother
4 hour of quality content lets go!
Can’t wait for the S9 Tierlist!!!! S9 HYPE!!!!!! Thanks for your dedication to the mod and the community! You rock DH!
Thanks as always
Love your long form content
you are amayzing. this stuff is huge!
thx, great tier list, will give the wind druid a try
Its getting better and better! S8 hype
Doing the Lord's work!
Thank you!
I watched this live. I'm just here to drop a comment and like. Thank you for your hard work.
This is some Really High level tier list here... Thank's a lot !
I think you can put your Google doc in presentation mode somehow
I also thought of this. With the new Unique Ghost Spear that grants Mana Shield when equipped that actually might be useful with the physical Spearzon because mana shield might give her the lack of survivability that she has by not using a shield. Also one final thought; Magic Arrow is very good and also very very strong with the right equipment.
Dark doing the lords work!
Great job, as usual sir! Although I don't agree that blade sentinel is a new build - blade sentinel has been low-key op since season 5 or 6 after they did a bunch of fixes to the flight path of the blades. A lot kf streamers played it before as well, including some very nice guides available. It was just always a bit buggy, tooltip was not correct, but it crushed maps aside from single target.Then again it was the same for double-throw in the early days (season 1,2 and 3) of pd2 and that still deleted everything.
well the extra AoE for me makes it worth it!
Thanks so mu;ch for making this and explaining your choices. Ive been chatting on the discord about dungeon bosses and for hc most ppl have said you will die and no character can really beat it solo, is this true? Apparently blood bringers one shot you, etc. Is there any build that beats dungeon bosses?
Can someone help me with this?.Unable to enter game. Bad inventory data. PLS PLS PLS
Is there a place with all those new builds details, like all the necessary gear and best synergies/secondary skills? I am having a hard time on what to get for poison javzon and I didn't find anything close to that until I got here.
people have made new guides. Also this tier list is now outdated
All your videos on PD2 were extremely informative, and made me subscribe for future content. Will there be future content on season 9?
of course!
I refer back to this at least 10 times a season lol.
Would you recommend a spearazon with a +3 spear eth botd? I ran it in D2R after dropping an ethereal +3 matriarchal spear. It was so powerful with impale and fend. I just didn’t know if it would be viable in PD2. I’m torn between that, ice bowazon, or plaguezon. I ran a plague zon ages ago.
botd would be fine, but 6os zerae's resolve is better :)

dude you're a national treasure
hello, is it better to play HC or SC in terms of trade? I think more ppl would play SC therefore more items will be available on SC trade. Am I wrong?
yeah but gg items are also worth a billion hrs on SC. So you have inflation. HC items tend to retain value better so there is a pro and con.
Fantastic video as usual, my only question would be what are like top 5 Key Farmers? Since you've got uber lists, group play lists, starters, etc. I feel key farming is a niche worth bringing into the conversation. In Vanilla it's always just sorc>everything else, but I was curious for your input as far as PD2 goes.
still sorc > everything else :D . Mobility is really key for key farming, no pun intended
@@darkhumility4915made a key farming sorc in that crappy game d2r , can confirm, your sorc needs some tackiness if u play hc tho
One does not simply play PD2 without watching the tier list from DH
On the patch notes it says: Ravens
Level 16-22 scaling reduced from 17-18 to 14-15
Level 22-28 scaling reduced from 22-23 to 21-22
Level 28+ scaling increased from 27-28 to 28-29
Isnt this a buf after 28+level ravens, endgame u have like 50 lvl summons ?
mmm about the same really. Truth is though summon mostly is rated weaker in mapping due to it being slower in T3s compared to most other builds even with a full setup. In T1s though it smashes well early on.
How would you build f orb in pd2? Actually excited to try it out in maps
get max fcr with fathom and medusa's if you can!
Hey DH do you have a link to a barb berserk build? Can berserk use Deep Wounds?
it can but other barb abilities make better use of this mechanic (i.e. hit more monsters faster)
where do i find builds to follow for these builds that you list here?
lots of guides on my channel!
What are your thoughts in uldyssians awakening dual enchant bear sorc?
i guess it could be ok lol
I played season 1, 2 and 3, comming back for 8. Could any1 plz explain what is fortify?
maps have less density, harder monsters, but 2x loot 2x exp
Any discord for pd2?
I wonder how bad it is to start a multi zon lol or is strafe a lot easier?
Strafe is a bit easier to start i think but both are solid!
Bear druid got skipped :O
Still loved the video
Wind Druid Gang unite!
the most wiggly homie on the cam
he be wigglin
we need an S9 update :D plz
I do like the budget info. lol
"Just make a light sorc."
Sure, let me make an Infinity in a +3skill/+3mastery base real quick.
Ты крутой чел , столько работы проделано! Молодец!!!
Thank you for this shitlist
:D
Any thoughts on leap attack, especially hc wise? I think you just skipped it in barb section;) great job as always!🤌
it is a dangerous skill in hc somewhat, but with tanky gear you can always manage!
