As Diablo 4’s Season 10 approaches its final days, players have started looking back at one of the most important endgame questions, and that is “who really led the Pit this season?”
On paper, Season 10 looked more balanced than previous ones. Chaos Armor opened the door for experimentation, off-meta builds became viable, and for once it felt like almost every class had a real chance to go far.
But when you take a look at the Pit rankings on helltides.com, it does not look that balanced. However, keep in mind that this can also simply be due to the fact that most people do not really bother with Pit pushing, and a ton of players this season just had fun experimenting new and various builds!
The Class That Quietly Took Over
Looking at the highest Pit clears, one thing becomes impossible to ignore! Spiritborn completely took over the very top of the rankings.
Spiritborn pushed further and more consistently than anyone else, going up to Pit 144. The top 100 spots on the board are only Spiritborn. Other classes are capable of clearing high Pit tiers as well, but it seems that Spiritborn players were the ones really pushing hard this season.
Sadly, the leaderboard does not show a ton of build variety. Most Spiritborn setups seem similar, but the class clearly fully benefited from what Season 10 offered.
Chaos Armor played a huge role here. Spiritborn builds could be aggressive and stay extremely mobile, creating the perfect profile for Pit pushing! Fast clears, high survivability, and a ton of damage.
Is the Druid Back?
Right behind Spiritborn, Druids quietly had one of their strongest season!
This is surprising for longtime Diablo players. Traditionally, Druid is often the class that falls behind in deep endgame pushing. In Season 10, though, they became one of the most reliable classes for high Pit clears.
More high-end players than usual tried out the Druid, and had a ton of fun with it, and that definitely helped push the class further than in past seasons. In many ways, Druids became the real success story of Season 10! Not the absolute best, but finally more competitive.
And the Rest of the Classes?
What is interesting is that most other classes were not weak, they were just absent from the very top.
Necromancers, Barbarians, Rogues, and Sorcerers all managed impressive clear levels. Many of them pushed well above Pit 120, and that would have been unimaginable a few seasons ago.
The main difference was not power, but representation. Spiritborn and Druids attracted most of the hardcore Pit pushers, and other classes seemed to be played more casually or for build variety rather than pure grinding. At least for this season.
With the amount of possibilities we had, a lot of players were just having fun for once, without thinking about just grinding higher pit tiers.
Season 11 is expected to arrive in early December, and it will remove Chaos Armor, replacing it with new “Divine” power systems. On paper, this could either:
- Keep the creative freedom alive
- Or collapse everything back into a narrow meta
Right now, it is hard to know what will happen. If Season 11 keeps the balance, we could see even more classes competing at the very top. If not, Spiritborn could also easily be replaced by something else!
