Season 10 of Diablo 4 is set to launch at the end of September, bringing players some of the highest power levels yet. With chaos armor, class buffs, and new chaos perks, leveling has never been faster. Every class now has at least one standout build for rapid progression from level 1 to 60. This guide breaks down the best leveling builds for each class and the fastest routes to reach endgame strength.

Diablo 4 Season 10 Best Leveling Builds by Class

Season 10 offers huge buffs, chaos armor, and perks that streamline early-game progression. While all classes can move quickly through early content, Spiritborn and Sorcerer stand out for their speed. Still, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and Barbarian each have highly effective paths to level 60.

1. Spiritborn – Evade Build

The Evade Spiritborn build leads the pack for fast leveling. Spiritborn received key buffs to passives, paragon nodes, and core skills. Early levels (1–15) should focus on Crushing Hands Spirit, which now deals double damage and provides knockdowns and barriers.

At level 15, respec into the Evade build and focus on Thunder Spike, Vortex, Soar, and Toxic Skin. Early chaos perks, especially electricity, can provide near-permanent evasion. Stack cinders before turning them in to maximize XP. Once at level 60, transition into the endgame evade build to tackle higher torment levels. This setup offers incredible speed, survivability, and damage for both solo and group play.

2. Sorcerer – Firewall Hydra Build

The Firewall Hydra Sorcerer build is excellent for AoE damage and mobility. Hydra remains a top choice, clearing Hell Tides and chaos rifts efficiently. While slightly more gear-dependent than Spiritborn, Sorcerers can transition smoothly to endgame setups like Ball Lightning. Prioritize gear boosting elemental damage and survivability, and rely on Firewall and Hydra for both clearing packs and boss fights.

3. Rogue – Dance of Knives

The Dance of Knives Rogue offers a spin-to-win playstyle that’s both fun and effective. Rogues received massive trap buffs this season, allowing easy transitions into trap or Death Trap builds. While slightly slower than optimal routes (by 5–10 minutes), this build remains very strong and enjoyable. Solo or group leveling is highly effective.

4. Necromancer – Minion Summon Build

The Minion Summon Necro is perfect for a chill leveling experience. Let your minions do the work while you focus on looting and progression. The Soul Rift Necro is top-tier in both PTR and live play. Summon your minions, keep them alive, and collect rewards for smooth progression. Ideal for hands-off players.

5. Druid – Companion Build

While Pulverize dominates the endgame, the Companion Druid is best for leveling this season. Significant buffs to companions and the synergy between ravens, wolves, and Poison Creeper create high damage output. Start with Wind Shear to regenerate spirit, alternating with Pulverize. Focus on aspects like Ursine Horror, Retaliation, and Shockwave. Prioritize willpower, attack speed, crit, pulverize range, max life, and resistances. Begin tempering gear around levels 50–60. This build is tanky, scalable, and smooth for leveling.

6. Barbarian – Whirlwind/Lunging Strike

The Whirlwind/Lunging Strike Barbarian remains a classic spin-to-win setup. Whirlwind handles packs, and Lunging Strike deals with single targets. Early aspects like Juggernaut, Unstable Power, and Dual Threat increase survivability and damage. This build scales well into endgame content and higher difficulty levels.

Fastest 1–60 Leveling Tips for Season 10

Season 10’s power spike makes leveling faster than ever. Here’s how to maximize your speed:

1. Start on Hard Difficulty: Hard grants 75% more XP. Experienced players can try Expert for even higher gains.

2. Create a Seasonal Character: Equip pets and hire mercenaries early for reputation perks.

3. Prioritize Hell Tides and Chaos Rifts: These offer massive XP and loot. Skip overly tanky monsters if necessary.

4. Craft Precision Elixirs at Level 10: Grants an 8% XP bonus.

5. Group Up: Monster HP doesn’t scale with party size in Hell Tides, making group leveling more efficient.

6. Do Infernal Hordes: Multi-wave events grant XP and loot.

7. Complete Class Quest at Level 15: Automatically unlocks if previously completed.

8. Use Dungeons for Key Aspects: Pick up survivability or damage boosts from aspect dungeons.

9. Push Higher Difficulties Gradually: Hard, Expert, and Penitent provide more XP as your build stabilizes.

Season 10 of Diablo 4 promises the fastest, most efficient leveling yet. With the right build for your class and an optimized leveling route, reaching level 60 has never been more exciting. Whether you prefer hands-on combat, minion-led progression, or tanky companions, there’s a perfect setup for every player this season.
