Method and season context

Assumes a character can already survive ordinary farming. Movement between packs, broad coverage and short reset time matter more than maximum isolated-target burst.

These bands are a qualitative QuestBase editorial judgment for Season 15, not a timed benchmark. A, B and S are relative to this activity and the stated assumptions. Use the linked build's limitations to decide whether its position applies to your character.

S tier

Strong activity fit with a relatively clear route to its main advantage.

Whirlwind BarbarianChain nearby packs without spending every movement or shout cooldown on a weak group.Dance of Knives RogueChoose contiguous packs and a route with room to move.Quill Volley SpiritbornFace a pack's center, then move on once the projectiles have covered it.

A tier

Capable when its setup and player preferences match the activity.

Pulverize DruidTake a route that allows several enemies to share one swing; move on rather than overcasting into survivors.Crackling Energy SorcererMove along the pack's edge so pickups naturally fall on the next route.Blessed Hammer PaladinCircle through dense enemies so a single cast can cross several targets.Hellfire WarlockUse broad casts on groups and keep Nether Step for the next cluster.

B tier

Playable, but a specific limitation demands more effort or gear.

Bone Spirit NecromancerUse the projectile on priority enemies rather than spending a full setup on trivial packs.Hammer of the Ancients BarbarianUse controlled bursts to remove elites while a basic attack covers travel between sparse packs.Rapid Fire RogueLine up enemies or add a proven coverage option, then move before surrounding mobs close.

Who should use this list

Use this list if assumes a character can already survive ordinary farming. movement between packs, broad coverage and short reset time matter more than maximum isolated-target burst.

A comfortable A-tier route you can execute can outperform an S-tier route whose resource or gear conditions you cannot meet. Start from the full build guide and your available items.
