　　Diablo 4 Season 8 Best Class Tier List for The Pit – Top Builds From the PTR

　　With Diablo IV Gold  Season 8 fast approaching, players are already theorycrafting and testing the strongest classes and builds on the Public Test Realm (PTR). One of the main highlights of the season is The Pit, a new endgame dungeon mode focused on high-level pushing and performance under pressure. Naturally, the community wants to know: Which classes are dominating The Pit? And what builds are standing out so far in Season 8?

　　After extensive testing on the PTR, here’s an early tier list and breakdown of the best classes and builds for pushing The Pit in Season 8.

　　S-Tier: Sorcerer & Barbarian

　　Ice Sorcerer (Verglas Shotgun Build)

　　The Ice Sorcerer is easily one of the strongest classes in the PTR. Thanks to the Shotgun Verglas Hail build, Sorcerers can unleash devastating close-range damage while freezing enemies in place. Combining critical strike scaling with crowd control, this build excels in both single-target and AoE scenarios—perfect for clearing high Pit levels.

　　Bleed Barbarian (Ultimate Berserker Build)

　　The Barbarian shines once again, especially with its Bleed-focused Berserker build. This version thrives on Wrath of  Diablo 4 materials for sale the Berserker uptime and massive Bleed damage over time. It’s incredibly durable, great for bossing, and can sustain through long Pit runs with ease.

　　A-Tier: Rogue & Necromancer

　　Twisting Blades Rogue (Trap Hybrid)

　　Rogue’s mobility and burst damage continue to impress. In The Pit, Twisting Blades combined with Poison Traps or Shadow Imbuement creates deadly combos that wipe out packs quickly. While a bit squishier than top-tier picks, skilled players can push very high with this build.

　　Minion Necromancer (Cold Hybrid Variant)

　　The Minion Necro has made a surprising comeback in Season 8’s PTR, especially when paired with cold-based enhancements. With stronger survivability mechanics and better scaling damage, Necros can perform well in The Pit, especially in solo content where pet AI issues are less of a problem.

　　B-Tier: Druid

　　Werebear Pulverize or Storm Shred Builds

　　Druid builds feel slightly behind in The Pit’s high-pressure environment due to ramp-up time and reliance on spirit generation. That said, Pulverize Werebear remains a solid and tanky choice for lower Pit levels, while Shred Storm builds can shine with the right gear and Paragon board setup.

　　Conclusion: Class Rankings for The Pit (PTR)

　　S-Tier: Sorcerer (Ice Shotgun), Barbarian (Bleed Berserker)

　　A-Tier: Rogue (Twisting Blades), Necromancer (Cold Minion)

　　B-Tier: Druid (Pulverize/Shred)

　　It’s worth noting that this tier list is based on current PTR data and could shift before the official Season 8 launch. But if you're looking to push The Pit efficiently, these builds are already proving their worth and are shaping up to dominate the leaderboard early on.
