The much-anticipated Diablo 4 Season 4 is finally here! Unlike before, Season 4 has no obvious season theme and is only titled Loot Reborn. Obviously, the main focus of this season should be the loot system.
However, with the endgame difficulty ramping up significantly this season, preparing a great endgame build is a smart choice if you want to be rewarded with exciting Diablo 4 items. In this guide, we are going to talk about the 5 best starting builds from different classes in Season 4 to help you get a better start in the game.
Frozen Orb Sorcerer
We’ll list the best builds for Season 4, starting with Sorcerer build. Based on what we saw on PTR, this class feels great in Loot Reborn for a few reasons.
First, in Season 4, there are a lot of variations on Sorcerer’s best builds, making it one of the most versatile classes at least at the start of the season. Among the many Sorcerer builds, the performance of Frozen Orb Sorcerer deserves our most attention.
Frozen Orb Sorcerer is a nod to old-school Diablo fans, as Frozen Orb spell was well-known as far back as Diablo 2, and it’s taken on an extra edge in Diablo 4 Loot Reborn.
The advantage of this build is the essentially infinite spamming of Frozen Orb spell, which is very effective in clearing out large numbers of mobs, Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide Events, and other events in Diablo 4.
In addition to this, the new unique amulet, Fractured Winterglass is added, and Frozen Orb spell gains a Conjuration charge, which in turn has a high chance of creating another Frozen Orb, creating a permanent mechanic.
The disadvantages of this build are also obvious. Not only is it highly reliant on mana reserves, but it’s not the most effective at single target damage. But the advantages still cannot be concealed.
Hurricane Druid
Speaking of the most effective Druid build in Diablo 4 Season 4, then it has to be Hurricane Druid. This build tears apart Pits and Bosses, but relies heavily on Tempering.
The essence of this build is stacking critical damage from Clarity and overpowers through Provocation. Once both passive abilities are maxed out, you can use your primary killing tool, Hurricane ability, to deal millions of damage.
Despite the massive damage dealt, Hurricane Druid build still requires a fairly strict sequence of actions. You can still cast Hurricane left and right, but without the extra critical damage from Clarity ability and the overpower damage from Provocation, you won’t hit max damage.

Bash Barbarian
When it comes to the best builds of Barbarian, I can only say one thing, and that’s Bash.
Bash Barbarian in Diablo 4 Season 4 looks like the build you want to play. The late game Bash ability allows you to deal significant area damage and stun enemies.
Combine this with Aspect of Adaptability and Aspect of the Moonrise to get more damage from the basic skills and destroy anything alive with Vampiric Bloodrage.
However, the major drawback of this build also emerges here. Aspect of Adaptability and Aspect of the Moonrise cannot be obtained during the upgrade phase, so this build, unlike Frozen Orb Sorcerer, cannot be used throughout the game.
Minions Necromancer
Regarding Necromancer, I don’t even need to mention it. Almost every player knows what the best build of this class is, and that’s Minions Necromancer. It will transform into a summoner, leading hordes of undead to sweep through everything in its path. But this may not be a bad thing for Season 4.
Overall, Minions Necromancer is definitely the simplest build that exists in Loot Reborn. It’s not like Druid needs to follow a rotation, or Barbarian only expands late in the game. Its essence is to simply spam Army of the Dead to everything around it.
As a Minions Necromancer, all you need to do is collect Blood Orbs, which appear after using your Corpse Tendrils ability. These charge up your ultimate ability, Army of the Dead, which resurrects your minions and destroys everything around you as you collect Blood Orbs. That’s the essence of Necromancer.
Rapid Fire Rogue
Finally arriving at the last of our list of the best endgame builds for Diablo 4 Season 4. If you’ve always wanted to try a ranged Rogue, now is the perfect time for you to start it, as this build allows you to effectively take out hordes of enemies from a distance, and that’s Rapid Fire Rogue.
The core of this build is Rapid Fire ability, which allows you to use a bow as your primary weapon.
It is worth noting that in Season 4, a new Rogue Unique Ring, Scoundrel’s Kiss, appeared. It has Rapid Fire effect built in, turning this skill into a true grenade launcher, dealing massive damage to all enemies within a large radius.
This build is great for leveling, boss fights, and clearing Pit of Artificers. However, as is often the case with this class, Rapid Fire Rogue is extremely fragile. So in this build, you’re sacrificing potentially higher DPS for survivability and upgrading abilities like Smoke Grenade.
That’s it for us to share our list of the best endgame builds for Diablo 4 Season 4. Try them and you will be able to easily conquer the endgame after entering the world of Sanctuary! Try it now! See you next time!
