Editorial entries are the Waypoint team's opinion, credited with an author and date. Data entries adapt a cited published source, normalized onto this S–D scale — see each entry's own notes for exactly how. Hardcore is assessed separately from Softcore. Ranks compare builds within one purpose only: a mapping rank says nothing about bossing.

Mapping

Builds ranked by how well they farm endgame maps.

Last updated · Provisional

Awaiting review · SC
Criteria
Clear speed
How fast a full clear (boss included) of a typical T3 map goes, at the gear level the tier assumes.
Gear requirements
How much of the speed depends on expensive, specific items -- and whether the build still works on a mid budget.
Survivability
How often the build dies or has to back off on bad map rolls. Weighted much more heavily in HC.
Fortified / non-fortified
Whether the build handles both fortified maps (tankier, faster monsters) and plain ones, or only one of them.

Nothing ranked yet. The season is days old and the meta is still changing its mind; an empty list beats a confident wrong one.

    Community-submitted, video-backed solo map clear times with per-build leaderboards. Listed on the wiki Links page as "Map Times Database".

    link only Landing tab (read 2026-10-29) still says it is set up for Season 13 and that S13 submissions were wiped for launch; no S14 note yet. No licence or reuse terms stated anywhere on the landing tab. Not clearly reusable, so we link and credit it and copy none of its data. Checked 2026-10-29.

A lower tier is a narrower recommendation, not a verdict on what you’re allowed to enjoy.
