They are peer-reviewed ratings from more experienced players and are given the 'starter' treatment, which means less investment than your typical experienced player puts into them. Getting those might help immensely, but generally skills/passives give enough damage and survivability to make it that far.įirstly, these ratings are highly subjective and the context for them varies within very specific criteria. TIER 5 builds are hopeless, can only salvage them with relics or UMOsįirst 2 tiers should be able to content up to 125 without needing a full set or a specific sacred unique. TIER 4 builds are below average, generally needing much more than previous tier TIER 3 builds are the average builds, that might need full set or at least one sacred unique to properly function

TIER 2 builds are good starters that need a bit more investment to get closer to the tier 1 builds They can possibly run even Fauztinville with just TU/early RW

TIER 1 builds are fast and comfortable, perfect starters.

Scosglen considers an okay farm speed to be around 25 minutes with 300-500tg investment. Leveling with the gear you find along the wayĪdditional ratings will be given in the build specific descriptions, that aren't included in the overall rating: Solo self found (SSF) and Scosglen farming. Survivability with below 200tg investment into the build overall Bossing (singletarget damage) with below 200tg investment into the build overall Farming up to 125 rifts with below 200tg investment into the build overall The overall tiers are made by considering a few different criteria: Do note that these overall ratings do not match the tiers below 1:1, as I spread them out with more leveling emphasis than the overall rating depicts. The TL DR version that gives no explanation behind every build can be found here. I will be extending that a little by making the initial ratings for Fauztinville, but also giving a Scosglen viability rating with a little bit more investment to the build you're playing. Mine will differ from his, because pre-2.0 it was fine to consider 120 as roughly the relevant endgame.

To carry on the torch for Seekers' 1.8 starter tier list (found here), I'm making my own.
