How We Rank Speed Farming Builds

This list ranks Diablo 4 builds by how efficiently they farm materials, gear, and XP across fast-paced content like Helltides, Nightmare Dungeons (on lower difficulty/Torment), The Pit (early tiers), Infernal Hordes, or Kurast Undercity. The list focuses on clear speed, mobility, AoE output, and downtime between packs, which are all traits that matter most when farming quickly.

Please note: These rankings are based on a Level 60 character with multiple Paragon boards unlocked. While effectiveness may vary with gear or levels, the overall tier placements should still hold up for most setups.
