When Belial makes his Diablo 4 items grand return, certain classes and builds will dominate the meta due to their raw power, adaptability, and efficiency. In this blog, we’ll break down the S-Tier builds for Season 8 that are tailored for high performance against Belial’s forces.

1. Barbarian: The Unstoppable Force

• Build: Whirlwind Frenzy Barbarian

• Key Features: Whirlwind is a top-tier AoE damage dealer, and combining it with Frenzy enhances your damage output and sustainability. The build allows you to tackle large swarms of enemies, and mobility is a plus when you’re moving between Belial's minions.

• Strengths: High survivability, AoE damage, and mobility.

• Weaknesses: Limited ranged damage options.

2. Sorcerer: The Arcane Tyrant

• Build: Fireball / Hydra Sorcerer

• Key Features: The synergy between Fireball and Hydra creates a constant stream of damage, especially when paired with passives that boost elemental damage. The mobility and teleportation abilities make it easy to dodge Belial’s attacks while dealing significant damage.

• Strengths: Huge AoE and single-target damage potential.

• Weaknesses: Relatively fragile, and requires precise positioning.

3. Necromancer: The Undying

• Build: Bone Spear Necromancer

• Key Features: The Bone Spear build provides single-target damage that excels against bosses like Belial. It also provides crowd control with the skeleton army, allowing you to manage multiple threats at once.

• Strengths: Excellent damage output and control.

• Weaknesses: Reliant on positioning and keeping your D4 items army alive.
