It's 9 March 2025 and
Season 7 (Season of Witchcraft, released 28 January) is rocking Sanctuary. WOLFGANG's latest vid (linked above) drops the meta bombshell: Spiritborn is nerfed, Necro is king, and every class has a killer build. I've broken down the best builds for all six classes - including gameplay, gear, and playstyle tips. Whether you're chasing trillions of damage or just want to hit Pit 100, here's your roadmap to dominance!
Necromancer: Blood Wave - The Damage God
Why top: Trillions of hits - undisputed #1 in raw power. After the Spiritborn nerf, it's the meta champ. Core: Kyrsan's Legacy Pants (unique) - doubles Blood Wave, converges for massive AOE/single target DPS. Gear: No mythics required - accessible early. Fast Blood aspect: Smoother cooldowns (CDR on rings/amulet key). Stack Shadow DoT + corpse buffs from Paragon.Playstyle: Spam Blood Wave, collect orbs - cool, not spammy. Novice friendly, scales to pit 150 with CDR. Tip: Grab trousers ASAP - blast content in hours.
Druid: Cataclysm - Speed King
Why top: Fastest pit clearing (1:50-2 min at 100+). Snapshotting = 100% crit/overpower. Core: Tempest Roar - Unique. Mad Wolf's Glee (werewolf buffs) optional. Gear: No mythics - Shroud of False Death optional. CDR (vex rune, offhand) for uptime. Werebear form for DR/fortify (pit push).Playstyle: Snapshot Cataclysm (see WOLFGANG's vid), walk through content - auto-vuln applies. Pit 110-120 easy, 150 with optimisation. Tip: Master Snapshotting or it's rubbish - never drop Cataclysm!
Barbarian: Earthquake Hammer - Clunky but Strong
Why Top: Fixed Mantle of Mountain's Fury chest buffs it - Hammer of the Ancients (HotA) unleashes earthquakes for massive damage. Core: Mantle of Mountain's Fury - HotA triggers seismic pops (no HotA damage required). Gear: No Mythics - Fists of Fate ideal (harder to get). Tech Rune: Stand Still for Quakes (or Leap variant).Play style: Ground Stomp/Tech spawns quakes, HotA explodes them-2-3 step combo. Clumsy; Leap Quake (guide coming soon) feels smoother. Tip: Leap variant > push variant for Fun-Pit 150 possible, but less responsive.
Sorceress: Inferno Snake - Spam Chaos
Why Top: Ultimate spam grouping and obliterating solid pit pusher. Core: Shroud of False Death + Flickerstep CDR for Inferno uptime. Gear: Talasha's Ring, Conceited, Storm Swell, Shredder Blades: Standard Sorc equipment. Freeze for Shatter bonuses.Play style: Spam snake-cluttered screen, watch out for explosions. Button-heavy, not beginner friendly. Tip: High APM required - Druid is easier if you hate spam.
Rogue: Rain of Arrows - Piano Master
Why top: Billions of damage, ultimate meta shines. Micro-intensive but rewarding. Core: Beastfall Boots + Cloak of the Nameless CDR + crit. Gear: Shroud of False Death, Skyhunter, Hakan's Amulet, Starless Skies: Crit stacking. Preparation refills resources.Play style: Spam arrows-resource dump, repeat. Loud / messy; level with Dance of Knives. Tip: Piano skills required - Death Trap alt shares equipment.
Spiritborn: Quill Volley - Nerfed but Fun
Why top: Last season's champion, still solid post-nerf. Weakest here, but Pit 100 ready. Core: Harmony of Ebony Waka (helm) - tanky + damage. Gear: Shroud of False Death optional - same as last season (Rak'leq setup). No crazy requirements.Playstyle: Quill spam - smooth, fun, tanky. Newbies welcome; poison variant has been removed. Tip: Casual picking - don't expect rank 1 pushes.
Rankings & Recap
Necro (Bloodwave): Trillions, easy gear - Pit 150 king. Druid (Cataclysm): Fastest peasant - snapshot or bust. Barb (Earthquake): Powerful, clunky - Leap Alt shines. Sorc (Inferno): Spammy, cluttered-solid power. Rogue (Rain of Arrows): Micro-heavy, high DPS. Spiritborn (Quill): Nerfed, fun-casual champ.

Season 7's meta has flipped - Necros are unchallenged, Spiritborn are humbled. All builds clear Pit 100; Pit 150 needs tweaking (CDR, snapshotting). WOLFGANG will be dropping Leap Quake soon - check it out! Got questions? Drop them below - MMOJUGG's got your back. Happy slaying!
