Very much agreed. I'm alright with the style change (though I liked the D3-styled one better), but the smaller size makes this much less readable than the old version. Still a great video of course.
I paused him and went to find the site online, so I can not only see it better, but I can use the site in the future. maxroll.gg/tierlists/solo-tierlist
Amazing, I search for this video every single season and make my decision based on it. You're the man!! I hope you get insane amounts of subs when D4 drops.
@@socialcockroach3307 That's not true. People cry about the colors in D3 because they don't understand that the game is not from the early 2000s. The game has the right atmosphere and the colors are good. Some people wanted a D2 clone.
@@NightZ2_ You are making a lot of assumptions about what I am referring to. Sure, the colors tend to be a bit brighter in D3 than in its predecessors and that is one thing but then there are things like Whimsydale, rainbow sword, silly pets, and Saturday morning cartoon villain dialogue, moon gravity physics, and punching full skeletons out of a body. Don't get me wrong though; I have actually thoroughly enjoyed the game and have sunk way more hours into it than I should but D3 is certainly NOT in the same tier as one and two in terms of a dark and gritty feel and serious tone.
@@socialcockroach3307 I don't see a problem with easter eggs like rainbow level or pets. We are exposed to these things after playing the campaign and they are not overly exposed. I also enjoyed d3 a lot. I probably played more d3 than d2 and it's probably to do with age. I didn't play d2 when it released so I am not as attached. We can at least agree that diablo 3 is a good diablo game, even if it deviated from d2 in some ways. I also think that the story in d3 had some less serious moments but I really enjoyed it. It was well written and had a few surprises along the way.
@@NightZ2_ Guy, you seem to take my comment about "darkness" of D3 as an absolute negative. I actually quite enjoy D3. In fact, in season 22 I am running a necro bone spear build and just hit GR100 and working on the "Destroyer" chapter for the seasonal journey. You don't do those things if A) you don't enjoy the game and B) you don't play the game a LOT (though, admittedly, the Necro is definitely OP this season with the extra cube slot). All of that said, the tone of the game just does not nearly match its predecessors. I would say the story is overall better than D1 (though that isn't hard, the story is basically "demons in creepy church, go kill please") but pales in comparison to D2. The only decent plot twist in D3 was about Leah and the most interesting plot threads were Zoltun Kulle and Covetous Shen (who, by the way, is a side story and takes some dedication that most people wont put in to find out about). And lets be real, the with the exceptions that I already mentioned, the dialogue in D3 is atrocious. If you were shocked to learn that Emperor Hakan was Belial, please send me money to help me restore my birthright as an orphaned Nigerian prince. Compare that to what happened to poor Marius at the end of Diablo 2. Now THAT is a plot twist. How many times did Azmodan say that your actions didn't matter or that it was impossible for you to defeat him? That was pretty bad, but then Diablo goes and outdoes Azmodan for that kind of thing the next act? Come on. It was horrible. Admittedly, Reaper of souls cleaned up a lot and if the trailer for D4 is any guide, Blizzard seems to have heard the fans so there is hope for the feel of the franchise to return.
The problem is that regular "command Skeleton" damage sucks, even with Rathma + Jesseth + high lvl Enforcer the damage is just too low. after a certain GR level you're just waiting for Army of the Dead to cooldown so you can nuke down packs. other Necro builds are much easier with a "just right click and stuff dies" strategy.
Thanks again for this concise breakdown and advice, Rhykker. I'm a long term Diablo player, but I took a 6 year break after beating D3 after release. I only just returned a couple seasons ago, and your channel has given me the knowledge and tools to build at least one character a season that can assist the clan that adopted me. Many thanks from this old D1 bounty hunter. May your attacks always strike true, buddy.
I like that this site actually has some more content for hardcore players. I'd like to actually see a tier list ranking these builds and their variants from most hardcore friendly to least hardcore friendly.
This has probably already been stated.. and I know there are tons of variations for most all builds that don't have to utilize it.. but this is essentially Season 16/The Season of Grandeur all over again, given that the fourth slot will be filled with a RoRG in most cases, effectively negating that slot's existence. But that aside, and as I said before, that extra slot will give a ton of options and open things up quite a bit overall.
@Rhykker - Star Fleet Battles had a class of ships beyond dreadnoughts called X-ships. If you're going to add a new tier, I suggest that we call it the X tier.
This new websites looks great! I think it is awesome that we are still seeing so much updates and content from the content creators for D3 btw, so thank you guys for making this.
My friend demanded I play this with him, so I randomly decided to build a necromancer, not knowing anything about this game. It was a blast and now I’m addicted to this game after only playing one 3-hour session lol
Can you give a recommendation for hardcore? Like what 5 builds are a good compromise between allround-damage and tankiness? Would the Necro-S be a good choice? Thanks.
Every season I tell myself “yeah I think I’m done with D3” and then every season Rhykker drops this video, and here I am ignoring my family debating between Zombie Bears WD or Hydra Wizard... cheers, Rhykker!
Rhyker wth, the best dh god build uses dawn+calamity + marked for death aoe rune for massive stacking mass-murdering ability. You get more crit this way, 15 % more dmg overall and a second chaining edition of " chance for area dmg". Not to mention it gives all your mates the same bonus. Combine it with tripple curse bone spear mancer and everything will turn into easy mode. It feels like playing 5 lvls lower gr than you are actually doing.
Cool thanks man! I'm gonna have to go WW Barb as I lost all my progress from when my ps4 hard drive died....and try a new build i never tried before the Hydra Wizard build!
If that's what you're comfortable playing, then by all means, do what works for you. UE Multi and Shadow Dagger builds were always better but I could understand those builds not being for everyone. Have you tried GOD? Nowadays there is no comparison, it is cheap, and easy, and effective. Maybe the playstyle is too boring for you though.
thanks for including the speed build , i pretty much only play whirlwind because i enjoy it and its fun but i may try that god hungering arrow build it looks fun too , ill give it a shot before the league start
Informative and well presented video! One observation, the tier list graphic didn't seem to line up very well with your verbal numbering of positions, so it was a bit confusing when concentrating on the graphic. Otherwise an enjoyable watch :)
From personal experience if you tweak PoJ with a few items and skills for speeds, it is by far fastest speed runner in game.. had god dhs so mad last season cause they couldn’t keep up and would just run out of resource... countless number of them would just leave after one rift lol
So I started playing D3 again last season and this season (22). Legacy of Nightmares currently isn't relevant anymore, is it? Also, would SWK LTK fit in on the tier list?
LoD thron crus, could be an A/S on quick farming build. By far, might be the easiest build to run over all, and fast enough to farm 75 gr in 1: 30, which equivalent to t16 key farming.
come on, aren't you interested to see how these animation's was edited, i thought 't was pretty cool to make such an entrance for the commercial which basically bought this episode.
I have two questions regarding the Ivory Tower change: 1. There seems to be no changes to the description, has the change been implemented? 2. Do you have to get a new Ivory Tower (patch 2.6.10) to get the change?
Arachyr chicken seems like a wierd build to be on the list at all. Unless I'm missing something, WD chicken builds were always for speed runs and not pushing. Did the Arachyr buff make it a viable solo push build? Edit: If I would have waited 30 seconds, I would have had my answer. That's what I get for commenting before watching everything.
Man I'm a casual player and I've been playing kinda on and off for years on xbox. I never play seasons so I just want a good build for regular play. I've been playing firebird but recently got a full Tal Rasha set which was a huge boost... Only to come back 2 months later and now the etched sigil is ruined but thankfully I had one that got grandfathered in. However I want a new build to work towards that doesn't require that 4th kanai cube slot. I hate the hydra builds I just don't like how they play at all. I'm thinking maybe a twister build or a frozen orb build. I just don't know and it's overwhelming
Not to be a negative nancy, but Im on a 27" monitor and I still suuuuuper can't make out those tiny icons to see easily what class we're talking about.
Yeah, i see the problem, your screen is too small, if your wife ever makes problems about you getting a bigger screen you can show her my comment to confirm you need upgrades screenwise, and perhaps a new 3D card to keep up with the graphics required to view these youtube videos.
One request, make the Tier List just bit bigger. It's a tad difficult to read. Great video!
Very much agreed. I'm alright with the style change (though I liked the D3-styled one better), but the smaller size makes this much less readable than the old version. Still a great video of course.

I’m not sure what maxroll is but I’m going to make him a web app to do this. It’ll allow him to make things bigger. I have a plan.
I paused him and went to find the site online, so I can not only see it better, but I can use the site in the future. maxroll.gg/tierlists/solo-tierlist
@@jc478 the site is in his description. I'd definitely recommend people use it.
Thanks for doing these lists for us over the years.
Aye these are a lifesaver and much appreciated!
Only just found this channel, truly a voice for radio
Amazing, I search for this video every single season and make my decision based on it. You're the man!! I hope you get insane amounts of subs when D4 drops.
💯 what he said!!!
“A is for ayyyy these builds are pretty good”🤣🤣😭💯
For all us old fogies that remeber "the fonz"
I’m happy to see a top tier necro as well - I love that class and it’s fun as hell to play with nearly all its builds.
Im excited for this build too but Corpse Lance builds were not fun. Waiting for a cool down is residentsleeper
I like the fact that we have a top tier necro but I dont like that its number 1 because now necro is broken in all stages of the game
As a wizard main, yeah.....necro was broken this season.
Nice to hear they're strong. I bought D3 a couple days ago and rolled a necro out of D2 nostalgia.
@@tarisco614 I feel like it was almost Blizzard's intention to keep selling necros
Always nice seeing this before the new season begins!
Diablo is a pretty serious / moody game with a dark atmosphere, demons, and death. So here's an Angry Chicken build.
I don't know bro, the "serious/moody game with a dark atmosphere" ship sailed away long before this...

This season is a HUGE buff to Rathma Necro's, they greatly benefit from this tremendously!
"D Tier" I cri
It really be like that

Thanks for the vid! I currently got back to diablo after a 4 year hiatus. Surprised to see the game very much alive! Love to see it.
I like that this site actually has some more content for hardcore players. I'd like to actually see a tier list ranking these builds and their variants from most hardcore friendly to least hardcore friendly.
exactly, people kinda forget about hardcore players lol
5 of the 7 gift bag sets are listed as S-tier this season.
GG guys.
Woman, you have NO idea......
Man, Ryker's been looking at a lot of homedopt stuff hasn't he
Home Depot is like "Bed, Bath, and Beyond" for guys...
The itch to play D3 once more is invading my body
and left immeadeately as i saw the tierlist :D
This has probably already been stated.. and I know there are tons of variations for most all builds that don't have to utilize it.. but this is essentially Season 16/The Season of Grandeur all over again, given that the fourth slot will be filled with a RoRG in most cases, effectively negating that slot's existence. But that aside, and as I said before, that extra slot will give a ton of options and open things up quite a bit overall.
well kind of, but a bit stronger since you can use wepons or 3 items from the same slot's power.
@Rhykker - Star Fleet Battles had a class of ships beyond dreadnoughts called X-ships. If you're going to add a new tier, I suggest that we call it the X tier.
wish the frenzy build was a little higher i always run WW but getting sick of it being the best barb i loved the frenzy build when it first came out
I know one day when I stop playing Diablo 3 I'll still watch every D3 video by Rhykker.
I'm sure he'll move on to D4 so that's something to look forward to.
Wow. Great video but I'm torn with which to start with. Monk or necromancer? Both seem extremely powerful.
This new websites looks great!
I think it is awesome that we are still seeing so much updates and content from the content creators for D3 btw, so thank you guys for making this.
I always run barbarian. Ever since D2, barb is my go-to. If they bring back the Amazon, I'll definitely run it.
Maxroll.gg is fantastic. Definitely a good thing to be a part of. It's going to be the only place I go going forward.
First they gave some love to DH. This season they're doing it with Necro. My 2 favourite classes. Necro S22 here we go!
Yup same. I missed last season, so I'm stuck with whether to play GoD DH or Necro this season.
My friend demanded I play this with him, so I randomly decided to build a necromancer, not knowing anything about this game. It was a blast and now I’m addicted to this game after only playing one 3-hour session lol
Haha same thing happened to me. A good buddy demanded me to play and damn... You should look into the lore, this game is huge
Can you give a recommendation for hardcore? Like what 5 builds are a good compromise between allround-damage and tankiness? Would the Necro-S be a good choice? Thanks.
I think the demons hunters newest luxury set is a good combo
Every time I get going on hardcore my game crashes and causes my character to die lol.
I personally use a version on lod twister wizard very op when made right
Whirlwind Rend looking at S tier like: "NO WATCHERS OR OBSERVERS FOR MY DPS THIS SEASON. THIS ELECTION WAS RIGGED!"
Not a bad season for my first serious witch doctor.
The most anticipated video this week!
Top Notch as always. Your guides and lists in Season 21 were superb. Sadly, I've been playing more Shadowlands, but I want to play D3, too!!
"it doesnt have as much damage but you get to be an exploding chicken" what a great selling point
The MAn, The Legend, The Myth, Rhykker the Diablo expert!!! thnx for all content keep up the great work!!!
Thanks Rhykker as usual, watching this Tier List makes me happy for tomorrow at 17:00 in france, GREAT ! :)
Every season I tell myself “yeah I think I’m done with D3” and then every season Rhykker drops this video, and here I am ignoring my family debating between Zombie Bears WD or Hydra Wizard... cheers, Rhykker!
Thanks for keeping the game alive mate. Appreciate it.
Excited to see your list. Congrats on the Maxroll project, happy to see that too.
Awesome job as always!!! Nice content and a lot of diablo love
I have played since day 1 of d3 and played every season. nice to see the tier lists man. great job
I don’t even play D3. I just think your video and way of explaining things is great.
Thanks!
Quality content as usual. Let's just hope D4 isn't as far away as we think.
Who else W
Waited more than a month for this video? Thanks Rhykker!
I am really liking the Maxroll site! Thanks for that great resource.
Your commentary on what the tiers mean is hilarious.
yeah bro the necro is a BEAST this time around. im having so much fun doing a solo build
My DH multishot build absolutely devastates everything on this list... Good video though.
Maxroll looks awesome, Rhykker! Great job!
Thanks Rhykker for this video! Thanks to this video, I am now 100% sure what to play this season :)
This made me want to play D3 again! Let's go necro and DH.
I was already planning on playing a necromancer this season. Now I can’t wait
I know this is not related to this video but I just want to thank you so much for telling us about Project Diablo 2, you Sir are awesome!
Rhyker wth, the best dh god build uses dawn+calamity + marked for death aoe rune for massive stacking mass-murdering ability.

The hair in front of his right eye. "Hold still..... Got it" continue.

Cool thanks man! I'm gonna have to go WW Barb as I lost all my progress from when my ps4 hard drive died....and try a new build i never tried before the Hydra Wizard build!
Always great informative content and love the added input of the best players and the speed running tier list keep it up.
Every season i wait for this video! Thanks so mutch!!!! Best regards from Germany. 😁
Hope everyone enjoys maxroll
Nice was looking this up last night from you
Crusader Bombardement was 1 of my fav its just fun seeing all those barrels fall down and kill everything i might go crusader this season
Seasons change. Speed run gear sets change. My Demon Hunter Natalia gear set NEVER changes.
If that's what you're comfortable playing, then by all means, do what works for you. UE Multi and Shadow Dagger builds were always better but I could understand those builds not being for everyone. Have you tried GOD? Nowadays there is no comparison, it is cheap, and easy, and effective. Maybe the playstyle is too boring for you though.

thanks for including the speed build , i pretty much only play whirlwind because i enjoy it and its fun but i may try that god hungering arrow build it looks fun too , ill give it a shot before the league start
I don't even play D3 anymore but still love seeing what's good etc, I really wanted to like D3 so much but I just can't ever get into it enough.
Thank you been waiting for the Ryker list. Can't decide between monk or necromancer
Hey bro thanks for making the D3 website I’m learning so much from using it.
I just made the Bone Spear build. Seems pretty crazy but the amount of support items you need to make it work is well... WORK XD
Informative and well presented video! One observation, the tier list graphic didn't seem to line up very well with your verbal numbering of positions, so it was a bit confusing when concentrating on the graphic. Otherwise an enjoyable watch :)
Just bought the game on switch. I am a big fan of medieval era looking characters. Any advice on who i should start out playing as??
Maxroll.gg is great!!! Finally I can view items on a touch device.
Great job everybody! Will there be a new Firebird or a DMO Twister guide?
Best D3 content you can watch !
Cant wait to play!! Im doing a WD spirit B with the 3 weapons!
Man, can’t wait to read up on the max roll.
so many good builds this season, i think i am going to do necro because i liked it last season but twister wizard was my favorite build a while ago.
not really, this is a very very subjective tier list... The top tier list til season really is just necro necro necro necro necro
I know this may be irrelevant, but could you do a tier list on Death's Breaths farming (sage) builds? Which is the best Sage Build?
What is with the wizard centric view in the A Tier? I wanted to hear about the Crusader builds that were good this time around =T
Great guide as usual thanks
From personal experience if you tweak PoJ with a few items and skills for speeds, it is by far fastest speed runner in game.. had god dhs so mad last season cause they couldn’t keep up and would just run out of resource... countless number of them would just leave after one rift lol
So I started playing D3 again last season and this season (22). Legacy of Nightmares currently isn't relevant anymore, is it? Also, would SWK LTK fit in on the tier list?
Thank you again for your wonderful content. We all love you. Even though you stream in the upside down world. - bucketoftruth
Question as i haven't played in years, and i loved that build.. is the HE Grenade demon hunter still any viable or playable?
Hi Bro,, just wondering what software are you using to capture D3 gameplay?
Not gonna lie. I play Diablo III maybe once or twice a year, but I watch all of these videos just for the puns :D
LoD thron crus, could be an A/S on quick farming build. By far, might be the easiest build to run over all, and fast enough to farm 75 gr in 1: 30, which equivalent to t16 key farming.
I tried so many seasons to make bombard crus work. This might be enough to make me play again.
Great video bro!! im searching for somethin like this.. thanks!!!
Great tier list! And congrats on the partnership with MR.
Thank you for making these videos!
Hi Rhykker, this is folks! With the diablo3 season.....
1:10 Starts here.
Ty mate
come on, aren't you interested to see how these animation's was edited, i thought 't was pretty cool to make such an entrance for the commercial which basically bought this episode.
Damn. It's hard to even watch 1:10 minutes of non tier listing....................................... /s

D3 still. i need D4 soon. rly need a good D game soon
Thanks for the vid, cant wait to start this season

Figures Necro is the best this season, I played Necro last season. Gunna go WD this season.
This season is gonna be so much fun
Not to be a negative nancy, but Im on a 27" monitor and I still suuuuuper can't make out those tiny icons to see easily what class we're talking about.

What one is best for a wizard im still kinda new to this game and trying to learn the ways of it lol thanks
Complete miss on the Wizard analysis...LoD Twister outperformed expectations and grabbed a spot in the S Tier with GR150 clears.
