Diablo 2 TIER LIST - BEST Magic Find Builds

[@NBCatch22]

I hope the last one is a tierlist of all the recent tierlists.

[@coffeebeangood1538]

The assassin tier list is the only one that goes to F

[@trebilicious]

This tier list is useless without talking about how expensive some of these S tier builds are compared to other S and A tier builds. It’s all muddled together without context. You’re just going to encourage newbies to gun for some of these top builds without them realizing how impractical they are as first characters. For example, a new player could see that a Lightning Sorc and Blizz Sorc are on the same tier and decide to go Lightning because… pretty… without realizing that Lightning is impossible to make work without Griffon’s Eye and a Merc with super expensive Infinity polearm for Conviction Aura, whereas a Blizz or Frozen Orb Sorc are easy to gear as first characters because their gear is flexible and allows for incremental upgrades early on. I feel like just slapping all the builds on a list without talking about which ones are easy to obtain and which ones are super endgame is going to mess up a lot of new players.

100% agree. There is an SSF tier list, and a MF tier list, but not a tier list that is a mix between the two. At the end of the day, I just always go blizzard sorc because I know it works and I've done it before, even if it may not be the best starter (maybe it is, or maybe it isn't, I don't know).

[@andreidikranvasilescu6182]

+1 for this!

[@peterlusstig2680]

well, then u dont need a list lol... its basicly just the sorc (cold/fire - light is not budget). u could add barbs in there but with realy budget eq its killspeed is still way slower compared to a sorc (not to mention the move speed, but u can work around that by farming easy to reach areas)

[@miothan]

Looked around for that info myself and looked at a lot of vids and info dumps on it, and most ppl say that the very best character to gather items on early is a Blizz Sorc since you can farm many areas and most importantly you can farm Ancient Tunnels, Mephisto and Andariel without any problems right away aside from the very rare cold immune (no cold immunes spawn in Ancient Tunnels except for in very rare cases, so maybe 1/100 runs you will se a cold immune). So best starter def. Blizz Sorc, you get teleport and Static Field through skilltree, can farm Hell Ancient Tunnels,Mephisto and Andariel etc without any problems to gather items and you can reach high MF easily since Blizz Sorc isn't super dependent on items for her damage. After that, once you have a few items, it looks like a lot of ppl choose different depending on what items they managed to get and/or what character they want to play as their 2nd, such as Hammerdin or converting to Lightning Sorc

[@P7_Drowsy]

I got you. I just did this. Give me a few to wake up and I'll log in and write down what I did for you. Edit: OK so I started with a Sorc. Nova and static to level until I swap to frozen orb or blizzard some point after normal. You can follow his sorc guided playthrough to level up. Once I killed hell Baal I put some perfect topaz that I had collected while leveling into a shopped 2 open socket helmet and I had some rare boots with 21 MF and some gloves with like 16 MF. I put on rings with MF as well. Don't make all your gear just MF gear because then it will take too long to kill things and defeats the purpose of magic finding. You basically want to kill things that can drop the items you are looking for as fast as possible as many times as it takes. I took my frozen orb sorc and famed nightmare bugged Andy for a bit, nightmare mephisto with him bugged across the channel so he can't damage me (look it up if you dont understand what I mean). After I ran a ton of nightmare mephisto I had gotten skin of the viper magi chest, I was using a spirit sword and either ancients pledge shield or mozers with perfect diamonds for extra resistances. Still had my rare boots and my rings were nagels. My belt was nothing special anything that I could find that had some resists and some FHR basically. Necklace was whatever I could find. Possibly had MF or it was just life and resist or mana and resist. Nothing crazy. Before getting viper magi I was using stealth runeword. Gloves were just whatever I could find that was better than what I had. The important thing is having those FCR breakpoints met so you can teleport to the bosses faster. I farmed nightmare meph a ton until I decided to farm hell meph. I farmed hell meph until I was able to get a shako, goldwrap, magefist. Still have more farming to do to get war travs. I made a spirit shield to go with my spirit sword that allows for faster boss killing. I run LK for runes as well as nightmare and hell cows. Still working on enigma and other high runewords. So there's your guide. You make a list of the gear you want, then find out where it can drop most likely, and farm for it as fast as you can. Google diablo 2 drop calculator and go to the 1st result if you want to find out what can drop items you are looking for. Hope this helps. Its not very detailed but there isn't much to starting MFing. You just kinda toss some MF pieces on and go kill stuff. If you have any specific questions please feel free to reply to this and I will do my best to answer you. Edit again: forgot to mention, Mephisto dropped Blade of Ali Baba, I use that and Milabrega's shield which I also got from Mephisto as my weapon swap for when I kill the bosses. Basically just farm Nightmare and Hell Mephisto a ton for almost all the gear you need. Then once you get that gear, move on to rune farming and the level 85 areas. My sorc still doesn't have the high runewords and I have 490% Magic Find. Here's the gear that I'm currently wearing on my 100% self found solo play-through Sorc: This link may not be updated, if it's showing that I don't have a weapon equipped or armor, just check back later but here's my Sorc. diablo.run/P7_Drowsy/Drowsy133323

[@bully9920]

True this list has infinity and enigma in which you probably got a ton of items youre searching for I think in budget build you can go for Blizz, Hammer, Orb, Wind Druid

[@oguzcanoguz5977]

So if you are looking for your first magic finding character, your best bets are: Meteorb/Fireballorb sorceress, Blizzard Sorceress, Hammerdin and Wind druid. Other characters are a lot gear dependent, so they actually need another MF character to find them some items and runes already. But you can always benefit from certain specialist characters to find certain gear. For example, javazon before infinity is still very good at finding base items in cows. Best character to find runes is the lighting sorceress. A barbarian with item find is very important for parties. The cheapest character for ubers is the Smiter. I suggest starting with a fire ball and frozen orb sorc, to then respec into a blizzard sorc and then decide which character to build for very efficient magic finding depending on the items/runes you find from the blizzard sorc. One of your best moves would be to find a Gul dagger earlier in the game and then find the tal rasha set for a decent and fast magic finder sorc.

[@nathanpapp432]

Its worth mentioning that rune drops are not effected by magic find at all. X players increases the amount of items any single mob can drop, and that increases the chance of runes dropping. IMO, the best way to get rich with minimum investment in gear is to build a lightning fury zon and farm hell cows in full games. You can just focus on damage and nothing else, you dont even need to worry about resistances.

I think summon necro is a bit underrated. They can run with tons of +mf and with Beast, Enigma they can run just about any area (including ubers) about the same speed as hammerdin or a little slower but safer. Without high end gear they're terrible, but probably still better than light sorc.

My best advice to anyone trying to farm rare and uniques: just use a build you can survive in. Something strong that can kill lots of enemies fast. Throw on a bunch of magic find, and just go. I’m using a whirlybarb, swapping on a helm with find item, pairing my best sword with Gull for 100+ MF. It just randomly dropped, so you can use charms, rings, amulets, anything with on MF. Then just do runs. Nightmare Pit, Countess, Trav, Chaos, Pindle, whatever. You’ll find stuff.

Unless you have friends who like this game like you do you’re out of luck because this game is also built around more people you have an a game the more experience you get a better item so unless you have four or five friends were just as eager as grinding as you read this game it’s going to go slow for you you can play online with random people but they’re a bunch of douche bags as soon as they see the first magic item they steal it and leave the server and then you’re left with nothing.

Drops change with odd numbered player size. So going from 4 to 5 will give you more drops but going from 5 to 6 does not change drops, it just makes monsters stronger.

[@hueysharapova7175]

Fully geared anything can destroy chaos, and a fishy can only destroy it on Players 1. All necs that aren't poison start to slow down with more players. A perfect fishymancer, if you hand picked every single item in every slot in your entire inventory, is still going to be slow as balls on P8. This is due to the fact that corpse explosion (the entire point of a fishy guy) doesn't really work past about P3. So you are basically going through P8 just waiting for your summons to kill stuff, which is a pretty sad use of the beast runeword and enigma and everything else that would go on a pro fishy build.

[@EmperorTerran]

The problem with tier lists in Diablo 2 is that there are 2 HUUUUGE factors that change the lists entirely. If you are playing hardcore, and if you are playing with self found gear. A lot of people play D2 SC and gear up their characters early in the ladder, which is a pretty lame way to play D2 in my opinion, but I'm not losing sleep over it. If you are playing a true ladder reset and starting with 0 wealth and just self finding or in game trading for everything (much cooler), this list changes dramatically with cold sorc and hammerdin shooting up to the top of S tier. Poison nova not so much because did you find a Dweb early ladder? No of course you didnt. Finding a Dweb day 2 of the ladder requires the collective effort of half the player base, which is exactly what D2jsp facilitates. If you are playing self found HC the list changes even more and summon nec goes to the top. Summon nec can be farming cows on players 1 with 200-400 MF on day 2 if you play solo. Can you say that about any other character?

[@braveheart77300]

Where do you class " Wolfhowl Barb " in this ladder?

[@alphapolimeris]

I would put in D tier for MF. I mean: come on.Who wants to MF as a doggy barb ? I guess you could roleplay "sniffing" item out of corpses (if you close your eyes while you demorph/shout/remorph on every find item corpse...), but still !

[@timabel280]

what do you consider mf gear for the javazon? or is is just a fast clearer? do you rip everything away for mf? your thoughts please

[@tinypolz]

llamas knowledge is S tier, his youtube videos D tier (just clipped from his stream), It's too bad they aren't edited and done properly. It's like having a beautiful library where none of the books are where they are supposed to be.

[@csnation]

Eh if starting out fresh on ladder (no ladder during initial launch but if you are new you got nothing anyway) I would put Blizzard / F Orb / Meteor Orb pretty much in their own tier? Why ? Cos teleport. You are not seeing Enigma anytime soon. And relying on a teleport stick on switch is costly in gold and dependent on luck too. Cos sometimes you might finish all the damn charges before even reaching the destination. Blizzard is an easy Meph killer, while Meteor / fireball Orb can easily farm out Hell Andy too. All for very little investment.

[@mikowi01]

MrLlama you should add liks to your guide videos in description or somewhere in here. Or maybe make new guides similar to your Blizz sorc MF guide, which i feel was the most in depth and with multiple gear choices etc. I think that better thumbnails for videos (i mean actual graphic that you could only change titles on) could be beneficial for overall views whan someone new searches for a video guide.

[@Francois424]

Now we need the same list, but you have to keep in mind you are starting up and your character is naked. It's important because it WILL change the list completely. Ungeared, I feel the SORC is so much better than every other type of characters. You can sacrifice a lot of slots early on for MF items (which will most likely only have one magic bonus on them, at least before level 30) and get that early MF going faster. Try to do the same thing with a Pally, Barb, or Zon? Your damage will be pitiful and it's going to take too long. So I would say Sorc is S-Tier early on, then use what she finds to move to other mentioned list by MrLlamaSC. Hammerdin will be godly for cow level runs in D2R tho... Just lots of density and no obstacles.

[@MindlessTube]

How exactly do u do good dmg with psn nova? It dont do good dmg for me.

[@xiratak6429]

a very geared psn necro

[@jasniakTUBE]

No CE necro? RLY?

[@Pjeyguden]

Can you please make a guide for a Poison necro MF character? :)

[@zakizdaman]

can you make a tier list of ubers and party group?

[@isaacbenrubi9613]

Do we know if the devs are fixing bugs and rebalancing skills (IE: Druid's Arctic Blast)?

[@chrislogan4837]

I don't understand Singer Barb appearing in this list or the previous SSF tierlist. I've played Singer Barb w dual hoto and all the stuff and he does less damage than the merc, and phys immunes are crippling. I'd wager that a regular blizz sorc is like 50x better than a Singer Barb. What am I missing? How can a Summon Necro possibly be lower tier than a Warcry Barb?

[@danduquen409]

Disagree completely on Summon necro. He's always been one of my main MF builds. He can run absolutely anywhere in the game including Ubers, and he clears everything pretty quickly with Corpse Explosion, maybe not as quickly as a light sorc or hammerdin, but still pretty quick. I mean, yes, it does take up some time (less than a minute really) in the beginning of each game to summon an army, but I just run Pit, Chaos, Worldstone/Baal, Trav, and Nihalathak all in one game before making a new one. He far outperforms my Blizz sorc in terms of finding high end items. Like the Poison Nova Necro, Corpse Explosion tends to kill everything, not just unique/champion monsters, so he's also ideal for rune hunting. S tier all the way in my book. A Tier at the very least if we take my own bias into account.

[@Ashuraa54]

Always played Blizz or Fire sorc for MF, i want to try that barb zerk now :D Someone know how to build this?

[@blazedehart2748]

So, why is Berserk the damage skill used for Magic Find build specifically?

[@bdvancleave88]

Converts physical to magic damage which has the least # of immunes in the game. Also most monsters in the game have 0 magic resistance

[@blazedehart2748]

@@bdvancleave88 ohhh. That makes sense! And I guess being able to Howl away the trash mobs makes the defense penalty from Berserk easier to deal with?

[@bdvancleave88]

Exactly

[@Dev9Ink]

I think the smiter deserves more love, can be a versatile cross build as well quick boss killer. Not gonna lie big packs are slower gameplay though.

[@Jvstm]

Enchant is pretty bonkers if you equip a Kuko Shakaku/Demon Machine and Razortail. It plays like a Fireball Sorc if Fireballs could pierce and hit the same target multiple times in a pack.

[@alphapolimeris]

Sadly, the numbers are not quite the same though.

[@Jvstm]

@@alphapolimeris Yes and no. If you're doing something like cows where things are tightly packed you might can squeeze out a bit more damage since it'll pierce 3 times, hitting 4 targets, and exploding on each. But without 100% pierce it's objectively worse. People don't really MF with Fire anyways, and I think it's way more fun than Fireball. Sort of like what the Amazon's Exploding Arrow SHOULD have been, haha. Fun fact, if you Enchant an Exoding Arrow Amazon the damage from Enchant is also added to that so it actually becomes very good.

[@intedinensak453]

PvP and HC build Tier list would be much appreciated.

[@atanasangeliev]

I think he is talking about magic find only in the pits. Cause the trapsin is amazing for Chaos runs

[@mic8405]

what about runes?

[@cbwrestler103]

Can we get a berserker mf build video? This I s great stuff. I can't figure out how I can get a berserker barb to have a better clear speed than any of those S or A tier builds

[@absalomvane7776]

It's simple: Enigma for TP, Grief for kill speed, weapons with FCR on switch for TP. Max Berserk, max Howl, max Sword Mastery, max Find Item, max Shout. TP around to boss packs, Howl to make everyone but the boss run, kill boss, hork boss, TP away. It's fast because it doesn't do anything except kill bosses and hork them, you never touch normal enemies.

[@BengaIaas]

I'm guessing this is all with Enigma, otherwise I don't see how anyone can compete with Sorceresses

[@FredThePhoenix]

Wow all this time I'm getting ready for D2R and to play a Trapsin... watches the guides everything... then I just learn of this ridiculous anti champions bug with traps... way to kill my hype :(

No Nova SORC!?

I think we mind need tier list of tier lists as I get confused which one to watch first :D

Where is Trap now that the bug is fixed?

[@LeopoldvonCarstein]

How about a co-op tier list with focus on synergies and fun factor.

[@regntonne]

What do you do if you're a beginner and can't afford all the expensive gear like Enigma and such?

[@Andtherewasguitar]

Blizzard sorceress is always a good base to start your characters on. Access to teleport, doesn't need a lot of gear to kill stuff. Farm away.

[@jefftrvecvlt1819]

My first d2r character will be a summon/CE necro! I'll respec to poison once i get decent gear :)
