Key Takeaways:

The sorcerer’s Lightning Spear build remains the best for pit clears, despite a recent nerf.
Necromancer excels in pit clears with the bone spirit build, while Rogue and Druid also showcase impressive clears.
Rogue and sorcerer dominate infernal hordes, with incredible aether numbers and fast council kills.
Barbarian falls behind in pit clears and struggles with consistent AOE farming.

Sorcerer: Top Class for Pit Clears

Despite a recent adjustment (nerf), the sorcerer’s Lightning Spear construction remains dominant in clearing pits. A verified clear time of 157 seconds has been maintained, while a proven post-nerf clear stands at 152 seconds, demonstrating its continued effectiveness. Although high-level players with top gear may notice the change, average players are unlikely to feel the impact. The versatility of the Lightning Spear build makes it ideal for pushing pits and endgame activities.

Necromancer: Strong Pit Clear Performance

The Necromancer’s bone spirit construction stands out, demonstrating a high skill level of 154 in combat pits. This setup is exceptional for inflicting powerful single-target damage bursts and consistently delivers DPS. However, achieving its optimal performance demands precise control over rotation sequences and timings. Unfortunately, the Necromancer’s bone spirit build doesn’t perform as well against infernal hordes because it has a narrow area of effect and encounters difficulties during early wave spawning events.

Rogue: Dominating Infernal Hordes

As a devoted follower of the fiery realms, I’ve found myself drawn to the cunning and destructive prowess of the Rogue class. This agile warrior boasts an impressive number of aether points, making them a formidable force within the infernal hordes. The strategic combination of the Barrage and Darel’s build, coupled with Rogue’s exceptional mobility, ensures swift council kills and efficient farming.

Druid: Impressive Pit Clears and AOE Farming

In a simpler phrasing: The Druid character has a move called Landslide combined with lightning that clears enemy areas equally well to that of the Rogue. Its abilities like quakes, tornadoes, and strikes have a wide area effect, making it useful against both pits and large groups of enemies. Yet, unlike the Rogue and Sorcerer, the Druid isn’t as fast in moving around, which may make it less effective in reaching certain events or elite enemies.

Barbarian: Lagging Behind in Pit Clears

A Barbarian character lags behind other classes when it comes to clearing pits, especially using a bash build at tier 140. Although the Barbarian shines in single-target damage, it finds it difficult to maintain consistent area-of-effect farming, particularly in content like infernal hordes. In terms of pit-pushing, the Barbarian’s build is optimal for boss battles; however, it encounters difficulties with crowds compared to other classes.
