Diablo 4 Helltide farm

Diablo 4 Season 10 was an absolutely fantastic season. Chaos Armor significantly increased the power of various builds, resulting in The Pit generally ranking higher this season than in Season 9. However, many casual players aren't chasing high level The Pit, often stopping as soon as they reach level 100.

This season, reaching level 100 is also much faster than before, allowing you to clear a map in under a minute. Let's take a look at the fastest and most enjoyable builds.

Rank 1 Death Trap Rogue

While Rogue was frustrating at the start of Season 10, the recent patch has completely saved the class. You can take advantage of the significantly improved Chaos Perk - Hit and Run. This Perk allows you to stack damage while moving (up to 9 stacks), dealing massive damage.

You simply need to keep moving to deal damage, and Death Trap skill can gather monsters and instantly eliminate them. You can spam Death Traps all over the map, and the server will struggle to keep up with your spamming.

On open maps, Death Trap Rogue can achieve an astonishing 45-second clearance. A potential drawback to this build is that your armor or resistances won't reach their maximum, forcing you to dodge monster attacks. However, if you can clear monsters in a few seconds, this shouldn't be a problem.

Rank 2 Raven Companion Druid

Raven Companion Druid relies on auto-aiming with Raven skill. The auto-aiming mechanic works great on a controller. This build is perfect for dead gamers because it's a one-button, easy-to-use build.

If you want to boost your damage, you can use the perk to Snapshot, but it's not necessary, and your Raven is already devastating enough. In 100 The Pit, it took only about a minute to clear the entire map. Despite its high damage, its Diablo 4 item requirements aren't too high, meaning it still has plenty of damage even without Mythic items.

Rank 3 Evade Thunderspike Spiritborn

Evade Spiritborn's core ability is Thunderspike. Evade resets its cooldown, and automatically unleashes Thunderspike whenever you dodge, balancing efficiency and damage.

This build excels not only in speed, but has already reached 140 The Pit. While not as fast as the previous two builds, it's still very fast, with an average time of around two and a half minutes on The Pit 120. This build is also well-suited for casual players, as it's relatively simple and highly effective.

Rank 4 Bone Spirit Necromancer

Bone Spirit Necromancer's main gameplay is using Bone Spirit to launch Bone Splinters, creating a high AoE damage around the player. The core of this build is Gospel of the Devotee paired with Shattered Spirit's Aspect. These two items give you a powerful way to deal damage. To further increase your damage, you'll need to farm Chaos Armor.

You can also use Jah Rune to replace dodge with a mage-like teleport ability, combining high area damage for fast movement and clearing. This build is generally very efficient, with a Pit 100 clear time of around 90 seconds.

Rank 5 Lunging Strike Barbarian

Lunging Strike Barbarian primarily uses Lunging Strike for attack and movement. Use War Cry skills to boost your damage and utilize Jah Rune for continuous movement.

While Lunging Strike Barbarian deals decent damage, it relies heavily on melee combat and, compared to other classes, requires more time to pause and attack to deliver damage. It takes about two minutes to clear Pit 100, and its boss fights in high-level The Pit take significantly longer.

Rank 6 Ball Lightning Sorcerer

Ball Lightning Sorcerer is known for its fast movement and screen-clearing abilities. You can use your Teleport skill to move at high speeds while simultaneously releasing ball lightning to clear monsters in its path.

While Ball Lightning Sorcerer is highly efficient for leveling and farming Diablo 4 items, it requires multiple hits to kill elite monsters at Pit 100, while other top-tier builds can instantly dispatch them.

While it can still reach Pit 100, it takes over two minutes, significantly slower than other builds. However, it remains an excellent speedrunning build for lower-tier levels like The Pit or Torment IV.

The above rankings don't represent the actual performance of these classes in The Pit. If builds that adjust The Pit were ranked, the ranking would be as follows:

• Evade ‍Thunderspike Spiritborn (140 The Pit)
• Pulverize Druid (135 The Pit)
• Bone Spirit Necromancer (126 The Pit)
• Death Trap Rogue (124 The Pit)
• Hydra Sorcerer (124 The Pit)
• Lunging Strike Barbarian (122 The Pit)

If you're simply aiming for The Pit Rank, then every player should play Spiritborn. However, even if you manage to reach 150 The Pit, you won't receive any unique rewards. Therefore, it is crucial to choose a class and build that you enjoy.

Of course, high-level The Pit also tests a player's mastery and development of their build. If your gear isn't top-notch, you won't even be able to reach the bottom of the leaderboard. If you also want to challenge The Pit, you can buy Diablo 4 gold and items at IGGM.com to complete your build as quickly as possible.

Besides the standard gear and combat buffs provided by your class-specific skills, the most effective way to improve your game in a new Diablo 4 season is through its new mechanics, which are both powerful and well-suited for the current season.

One of the new mechanics in Season 10 is Chaos Armor, which ties into the season's Chaos theme and can be earned by playing Infernal Hordes or Nightmare Dungeons with Chaos Rifts affix.

It's important to note that there are a lot of Chaos Armor available, but the amount you can carry per battle is limited. Furthermore, these armor pieces are divided into general and class-specific categories.

Therefore, you must be extremely careful when choosing Chaos Armor to avoid wasting the opportunity to gain buffs by equipping useless armor.

Since different classes have different Chaos Armor options, this article will use Necromancer class as an example to introduce several unnecessary armor pieces.

Black River

Corpse Explosion is an essential skill in most effective Necromancer builds, allowing you to use corpses to create explosions, dealing further damage to surviving enemies.

Interestingly, Black River, as one of the new buffs, enhances Corpse Explosion's power. It increases Corpse Explosion's damage by consuming 4 additional corpses, increasing its size by 60% for each corpse consumed.

On the surface, this seems like a good synergy, but anyone familiar with Necromancers knows that Corpse Explosion is often used as a support skill alongside Blood Wave or Bone Spirit in these builds, as its own damage isn't particularly strong.

Thus, while Black River improves Corpse Explosion's effectiveness, in actual combat, this buff is minimal and doesn't play a crucial role - you could simply equip more valuable armor.

Deathspeaker's Pendant

While Black River at least enhances Corpse Explosion, Deathspeaker's Pendant is almost completely useless against Season 10 Necromancer.

This perk grants you Blood Surge ability, which deals 103 damage to enemies by unleashing a mini-nova on your minions. This damage increases by 10% for each target consumed, up to a maximum of 50%.

Unfortunately, Blood Surge builds are inherently weak in Season 10, and the fact that they require you to sacrifice minions makes Deathspeaker's Pendant nearly useless. This armor is incompatible with Blood Surge builds.

Mutilator Plate

This armor suffers from a similar issue as Deathspeaker's Pendant. Its affix grants you Blood Lanced, which then damages enemies, further strengthening you as you deal damage.

At first glance, this might seem like a boost to your damage and survivability, but it only works when paired with Blood Lance Necromancer build, a low-tier build in Season 10 that you'll rarely use.

Ring Of The Sacrilegious Soul

This armor is decent on its own, but its limitations mean it's more suited to players who prefer to minimize button presses. If you're someone who prioritizes the impact and skill of combat in Diablo 4, you might not appreciate it.

This ring automatically casts Raise Skeleton, Corpse Explosion, and Corpse Tendrils on nearby corpses, creating a useful skill cycle for continuous damage output. However, if you're very selective in your skill rotation, it can actually limit you.

The Mortacrux

As a gear affix, The Mortacrux isn't a bad Chaos Perk. It grants a 48% chance to create a rotten Skeletal Simulacrum when you consume a corpse, which then explodes upon death, dealing 548 damage.

Thus, The Mortacrux increases the chance of Corpse Explosion dealing double damage and increases Hewed Flesh level. However, when applied to specific builds, its synergy isn't very good and could even undermine the overall build.

The Unmaker

This armor actually originally had advantages, providing Soulrift with increased duration, making it more useful in Shadowblight Necromancer builds.

Unfortunately, other Season 10 seasonal mechanic, Chaos Perks, includes Alter the Balance perk, which directly makes Soulrift a core skill, allowing you to cast it continuously as long as you consume enough Essence.

This makes the bonus provided by The Unmaker seem unnecessary, as Soulrift has no cooldown as long as you always have Essence.

What Are More Other Chaos Armor Options For Necromancer?

While the six armor pieces above won't be particularly helpful for playing Necromancer, there is more Necromancer-specific Chaos Armor waiting to be acquired and used:

• Bloodless Scream
• Deathless Visage
• Ebonpiercer
• Gospel of the Devotee
• Lidless Wall
• Ring of Mendeln
• The Hand of Naz

Or general armor is also acceptable. While these might not be as suitable as exclusive armor, the benefits they provide are still significant. Choose the one that suits your combat style.

• Banished Lord's Talisman
• Crown of Lucion
• Endurant Faith
• Fists of Fate
• Flickerstep
• Godslayer Crown
• Locran's Talisman
• Mother's Embrace
• Paingorger's Gauntlets
• X'Fal's Corroded Signet

Of course, to obtain enough Chaos Armor, you'll need to frequently farm Nightmare dungeons with Chaos Rifts affix, or clear Infernal Hordes and defeat the final boss, Bartuc. The higher the difficulty, the higher the chance of a drop.

In short, we hope you'll become a powerful Necromancer in Season 10 by effectively selecting and equipping Chaos Armor that suits you! We wish you success!
