S S tier SC11
Assassin Venom Blade Sentinel AssassinMapping SBossing SLeague start SVenom-converted Blade Sentinels clear maps at top speed, and the same setup kills bosses just as well.- Assassin Wake of Fire TrapsinMapping SBossing BLeague start ACovers the screen with fire traps and clears dense maps fast with almost no downtime.
Necromancer Bone Necromancer (Teeth / Bone Spear)Mapping SBossing CLeague start AMagic damage is almost never resisted, and the new S14 magic-damage jewels make it a top mapper.
Druid Fire Elemental Druid (Boulder / Fissure / Volcano)Mapping SBossing CLeague start AFissure, Molten Boulder and Volcano carpet the screen; S14 buffed Fissure synergies and crack speed.- Necromancer Poison Nova NecromancerMapping SBossing BLeague start BThe fastest map clearer this season; the S14 Lower Resist buff makes its poison melt packs even faster.
Barbarian War Cry Barbarian (Singer)Mapping SBossing DLeague start SShouts blast whole packs at once for top-tier clear speed; a small S14 Natural Resistance trim doesn't slow it down.- Barbarian Whirlwind Barbarian (Two-Handed)Mapping SBossing BLeague start BStill one of the strongest solo mappers despite the S14 Whirlwind and Two-Handed Mastery nerfs.
- Druid Cold Elemental Druid (Arctic Blast / Hurricane)Mapping SBossing DLeague start BOne of the fastest clears this season, and S14 buffed Hurricane's damage and synergies on top.
Sorceress Frozen Orb Sorceress (Cold Mastery)Mapping SBossing DLeague start BSmooth, forgiving cold coverage that clears maps at top speed.
Amazon Lightning Fury JavazonMapping SBossing DLeague start BChained Lightning Fury bolts cover the whole screen, making it one of the fastest full-map clears in the game.- Sorceress Lightning Nova SorceressMapping SBossing DLeague start CLightning Nova wipes packs around you at top speed; the S14 Static Field nerf only slows elite kills a little.
A A tier SC3
- Sorceress Meteor Sorceress (Fire)Mapping ABossing ALeague start SMaps well, but shines most as a starter and Diablo Clone build; S14 moved its burning-ground synergy to Inferno.
- Amazon Summon Amazon (Valkyrie / Decoy)Mapping ABossing BLeague start SA safe Valkyrie and Decoy summoner that clears well, though minion pathing caps its speed.
- Sorceress Blizzard Sorceress (Cold Mastery)Mapping ABossing ALeague start BA strong cold mapper; in S14 Chilling Armor also deals Blizzard-synergised AoE on hit.
B B tier SC3
- Druid Summon Druid (Wolves / Grizzly / Spirits)Mapping BBossing ALeague start SVery safe and cheap, but minion pathing limits how fast it clears maps.
Paladin Hammerdin (Blessed Hammer Paladin)Mapping BBossing CLeague start AHammers now pass through walls (S14), but its spiral pattern still clears maps slower than the top builds.- Paladin Physical Zealot Paladin (Zeal / Fanaticism)Mapping BBossing CLeague start CStrong sustain, but short melee reach keeps its clear speed modest.
