S+ Tier - Best Pit Push Builds in Diablo 4 Season 11

These are the absolute best builds for pushing the highest tiers of the Pit of the Artificer. When properly geared and optimized, S+ tier builds offer unmatched damage scaling, survivability, and consistency.

S+ Tier Builds:

Bash Barbarian
Whirlwind-Earthquake Barbarian
Twisting Blades Rogue
Evade Spiritborn
Rain of Arrows Rogue
Shield of Retribution Paladin (New Class)
Payback Spiritborn
Crackling Energy Sorcerer
Shadowblight Necromancer
Golem Necromancer
Lunging Strike Barbarian

These builds excel at elite-heavy floors and melt Pit bosses thanks to powerful multiplicative scaling and strong defensive layers.

S Tier - Strong and Reliable Pit Pushers

S-tier builds remain extremely strong and can comfortably clear high Pit tiers, but they fall slightly behind S+ builds in peak scaling or consistency at the very top end.

S Tier Builds:

Pulverize Druid
Hammer of the Ancients (HotA) Barbarian
Brandish Paladin
Heartseeker Rogue
Blood Wave Necromancer
Rain of Arrows Rogue
Blood Lance Necromancer
Blood Necromancer
Dance of Knives Rogue
Double Swing Barbarian
Judgement Paladin
Mighty Throw Barbarian

These builds are excellent choices for cheap D4 materials players pushing deep into the Pit without requiring perfect gear.
