In Diablo 2 Resurrected, we are sure most of you started with a blizzard sorcerer to magic find, after you become wealthy enough for an enigma you switch into your endgame character such as hammer, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this. But when patch 2.4 goes live, you're going to have a lot more variety for starter and endgame builds, here's the list of the top new meta builds.

Ladder Season 1 Start Date

Ladder Season 1 starts on April 28th (29th for Europe and Asia). As Diablo 2 Resurrected allows for cross play between the regions Americas, Europe, and Asia, the Ladder starts at the same time for everyone. Taking into account the different time zones of course.

Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder – Season 1 Start/End Dates

Following a series of delays, the Diablo 2 Resurrected ladder season 1 started on April 28, 2022. Assuming that the developers stick to their promise of a 4 month reset, we imagine Season 1 will end around August 25, 2022.

Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder Reset – Season 2 Start Dates

For the time being it’s not clear how much time the game might need between seasons. If we assume that Diablo 2 Resurrected has a two-week PTR – like we see in Diablo 3 with the testing of every new season – then we would imagine that Season 2 will begin in early September 2022.

It’s worth stressing though, that this is purely hypothetical and it’s quite possible that the team working on the game changes the length of the season or requires more time to release the next season, as we saw with the original delays to the ladder originally.

D2R 2.4 Ladder Best Paladin Builds

Hammerdin Paladin, Fist of Heaven Paladin

Although the Fist of the Heavens Paladin has a strange trajectory, he can easily pass through hell. The Fist of Heaven Paladin has added damage to demon monsters. Maybe the players you meet in Chaos in the future will be Paladins of the Fist of Heaven. In addition, the Fist of Heaven Paladin needs very few skill points to form and can minor in Smite, Zeal, Blessed Hammer, etc.

D2R 2.4 Ladder Best Barbarian Builds

Whirlwind Barbarian

The damage to the barbarian is not enough for all the builds. The role of the barbarian in the team is generally supportive. In the early stage of the upgrade process, the barbarian is willing to sacrifice his output, and the same goes for the Enchant Necromancer. If you want to try out some interesting gameplay, Whirlwind Barbarian is worth a try because of its decent strike capability.

Lighting Sentry Assassin

The massive utility and damage he provides is everything you could ask for from a day one budget character. The Assassin is also extremely efficient at farming the Key of Destruction from Nihlathak, which is one of the hardest keys to farm in budget gear. When using the Mind Blast skill, you need to run in a pop cloak of shadows and lay down four lightning sentries and one death century. To max out Lightning Sentry, Shock Whip, Charge Bolt Sentry, and Death Sentry, you can put one point into these passives skills, and all remaining points can be thrown into fire blast. You’ll want to acquire a budget item: a Spirit Sword, Spirit Shield, and a Lore helm. If you get lucky to farm a D2R Lem Rune, making a Treachery can be nice for the Assassin, plus two Assassin skills. But it will remove your burst of speed.

Martial Arts Assassin Build

Our top pick for the assassin is the martial arts, which will be very strong in the 2.4 patch. He will have different types of damage and it will also be very convenient to deal with the aiming in Hell difficulty.

Skills

20 Points on Phoenix Two synergies - don't take three because you will need the points in the shadow masteries but you can take either ice fire or lightning synergies

20 Points on Clock of Shadow - in order to lower the defenses of your enemies

Gear

About the equipment, it's a bit the same as the javazone, you need to have the most additional skills in order to maximize the damage, since its elemental damage in the endgame you can also look for additional physical damage but it's not that important when you are leveling your character.

Poison Plague Javazon

Poison Plague Javazon will be powerful in the 2.4 Ladder, it could solo clear player eight cows with certain gear setups, and the chaos sanctuary has zero poison immunes in it and last but not least you'll probably be the only plague Javazon running around on the Battle net. We truly believe that this build will be slept on, it may not be the most exciting build to play but you can take advantage of a damage mechanic that others know nothing about. Using a Death's Web and a four sock superior monarch with four poison facets inside on your switch is insanely good for this build. Throw your plague javelin and then switch to your offhand for all that negative enemy poison res to take effect, the gameplay might take a second to get used to, but farming player 8 cows efficiently can be very rewarding.

We should have the best buildings ready before patch 2.4 is officially convenient because it means we can have an advantage in the next game. Of course, during this period we also need to buy D2R Runes , which can make our buildings more powerful. Here, I recommend you visit https://www.igvault.com/Diablo-2-Resurrected-Ladder-Items
