How this works: every day we take a snapshot of all crawled ladder characters (level 80+, with captured gear) per mode and class. A build is its class plus main skill; gear value sums the market median of every priced unique, set item and runeword a character wears. Want the individual characters? Ladder analytics has every one, and our guides explain how to play the builds above.
