Diablo 4 Season 7: Top 10 Builds for Pit Clears

Hey fellow rogues of all ages, Diablo IV Season 7 is now in full swing, and these 2.5 weeks of excitement have allowed us to discover the strongest builds of the season. As things begin to settle down and the leaderboards change less and less, now is the perfect time to take a deep dive into the builds currently topping the Pit clearing leaderboards. If you're looking to enhance your gameplay, consider ways to buy Diablo 4 Gold, as it can significantly boost your resources and item acquisition. With frequent patch updates and build features constantly changing, it’s important to highlight that we pay special attention to the top builds based on Pit tier completion and clearing speed, and rank them by performance. To keep things interesting, we only included distinctly different builds for each entry. This means that while there are differences between categories, such as different types of wizard builds, we only count unique, standalone strategies. While some classes may be underrepresented, such as Spirit Born builds, which didn’t make the top 10, these rankings showcase the diversity of builds and show that certain combinations thrive in this environment. Let’s take a look at the top 10 builds that absolutely crushed the Pit tier in Season 7.

10. Lightning Spear Sorcerer

Top Reported Pit Clear: Tier 123

A staple Sorcerer build that’s been a reliable performer in prior seasons, the Lightning Spear Sorcerer remains strong, though it's not as dominant as it once was. This build shines in Pit clearing, especially if you’re seeking a comfortable experience outside of the highest-tier clears. It utilizes the Splintering Energy Aspect, which makes Lightning Spear crits arc to other enemies, amplifying your critical damage by up to 200%. It's built around massive crit scaling and is one of the safest, most consistent Sorcerer setups.

9. Blood Spear Necromancer (Bone Spear + Blood Wave)

Top Reported Pit Clear: Tier 126

A newer entry in Season 7, this Necromancer build revolves around the synergy between Bone Spear and Blood Wave, with a unique twist. The Season’s addition of unique pants makes Bone Spear a blood-based skill that costs health to cast. The Dark Dance Aspect further amplifies damage by boosting life-consuming skills, making for a high-risk, high-reward playstyle. Not to be overlooked, this build excels in applying crit damage, guaranteed overpowers, and deadly bone prisons to trap enemies. A strong, innovative setup with a solid Tier 126 clear.

8. Lacerate Druid

Top Reported Pit Clear: Tier 127

The ultimate skill build for Druid lovers, Lacerate scales heavily with crit damage and offers invulnerability while casting. Thanks to the Xan Rune, which guarantees critical hits and overpowers for every Lacerate, it results in massive burst damage with every activation. This build was given a big boost with Season 7's ultimate skill changes, and players have embraced the high mobility and survivability that comes with it. Clearing Tier 127 pits proves its strength as a top-tier contender.

7. Burning Deep Freeze Sorcerer

Top Reported Pit Clear: Tier 128

The combination of Deep Freeze and Decay Augmentation makes this Sorcerer build a force to be reckoned with. With Deep Freeze scaling based on damage to vulnerable enemies, and Decay Augmentation adding extra burning damage, this build excels at chaining damage over time with Fireball Enchant and the Shatter passive, which makes enemies explode upon thawing. Combining this with increased freeze uptime and fire damage bonuses, it’s an absolute powerhouse for Pit clears.

6. Death Trap Rogue

Top Reported Pit Clear: Tier 131

Utilizing the Death Trap ultimate skill, this Rogue build revolves around maximizing energy regeneration and cooldown reduction. The Beast Fall Boots unique gear enables near-infinite Death Traps, causing them to trigger back-to-back and pulling enemies into death's embrace. Combining that with guaranteed overpowers and energy expenditure mechanics, the build results in massive AoE damage and incredible control. This clever, highly strategic build has cemented itself as one of the top performers.

5. Rain of Arrows Rogue

Top Reported Pit Clear: Tier 136

At its peak, the Rain of Arrows Rogue build combines insane APM (actions per minute) with precise execution. By stacking Heartseeker for increased crit damage, pairing it with Twisting Blades and the Beast Fall Boots, this build continuously resets the cooldown of Rain of Arrows. When combined with Hakan’s Amulet, all imbuements apply to the skill, resulting in explosive, multi-element damage. The skill rotation here requires near-perfect timing to achieve the best results. A tier 136 clear proves this build’s potential.

4. Inferno Greater Fireball Shatter Sorcerer

Top Reported Pit Clear: Tier 142

This build revolves around the synergy of Inferno, Greater Fireball, and Shatter, creating a constant explosion of burning and cold damage. By eliminating cooldowns and utilizing the Decay Augmentation (via the Voice of the Stars gem), Inferno applies massive burn damage, while Greater Fireball applies additional burning damage. The main weakness is that it struggles without adds, as bosses without minions become difficult to defeat. Still, a Tier 142 clear speaks volumes about its potency.

3. Earthquake Barbarian

Top Reported Pit Clear: Tier 150 (12 minutes and 28 seconds)

Barbarians were a bit of a surprise this season, with Earthquake builds growing in power. This build leverages Shroud of False Death to buff key passives, resulting in an explosive damage boost. The combination of Wrath of Berserker and massive earthquake damage leads to a highly satisfying power fantasy. With a 150-tier clear under 13 minutes, this build remains one of the most consistent and efficient for those looking to crush high-level pits.

2. Cataclysm Druid

Top Reported Pit Clear: Tier 150 (8 minutes and 31 seconds)

The Cataclysm Druid build offers one of the most user-friendly but devastatingly powerful ways to clear the pits. Cataclysm scales with lightning and willpower, allowing you to hit monstrous damage numbers. When paired with passive buffs and guaranteed crits, it obliterates anything in its path. The synergy with Shifting Forms adds even more damage scaling, ensuring the Druid’s place at the top of the leaderboard with an impressive Tier 150 clear in under 9 minutes.

1. Shadow Damage Blood Wave Necromancer

Top Reported Pit Clear: Tier 150 (4 minutes and 31 seconds)

It’s no surprise that the Shadow Damage Blood Wave Necromancer sits at the top of the leaderboard. Using the Kesem Legacy pants and Fast Blood Aspect, the build makes Blood Wave one of the most powerful skills in the game, combining shadow damage with consistent, unstoppable output. When paired with Decay Augmentation and Voice of the Stars for witchcraft synergy, the results are catastrophic. Achieving a Tier 150 pit clear in just under 5 minutes, this build has dominated the leaderboards and is likely to remain a fixture of top-tier play for the season.
