This page goes over the current state of each class in Season 25 in respect to their soloclearing capabilities and provides a full ranking of each build currently availableon the site.
1.
Top Solo Greater Rift Pushing Builds for each Class
1.1.
Barbarian
Boulder Toss Raekor Barbarian
In Season 28, Raekor was reworked and massively buffed to primarily benefitBoulder Toss. This along with several other Barbarian builds dominated the leaderboardsthat season, but that was also primarily due to the massive seasonal theme powerthat Barbs had access to. Boulder Toss still retains an incredible amount of power coming into thisseason, and should be the go-to Barbarian build for solo pushing.
1.2.
Crusader
Akkhan Condemn Crusader
Most Crusader builds have received some massive buffs coming into the final balance patchof Diablo 3. Most Crusader builds will be incredibly strong for solo-pushing, so the top buildcould easily change with new knowledge or depending on your play style. However, Akkhansis tanky, reliable, and deals consistent damage in a way that is sure to reward those whowant to push as high as possible.
1.3.
Demon Hunter
Natalya Spike Trap Demon Hunter
New in Season 28, Natalya's has been reworked to be build around Spike Traps. Thisis an extremely powerful, but complex build that requires a multiple-buttonsetup, solid positioning, and practice to execute well. Demon Hunters overall are lookingquite strong in the new season, so if you are looking for a challenge, definitely givethe class a shot.
1.4.
Monk
LoD Wave of Light Monk
Monk is another class that is receiving very little in the way of changes for Season 29.We can expect the meta for monks to stay roughly the same, which means LoD Waveof Light will still be the go-to build for endgame pushing.
1.5.
Necromancer
Trag'Oul Death Nova Necromancer
Necromancers are got several powerful new builds in season 29, including somemassive buffs to the Death Nova builds. These absolutely dominated the leaderboardsin Season 28, and we expect the Death Nova Necro to be one of the few builds capableof clearing a GR 150 solo this season.
1.6.
Witch Doctor
Mundunugu's Regalia Spirit Barrage Witch Doctor
Mundunugu is once again looking like the set of choice for Witch Doctors.Mundunugu is exceptional at dealing huge burst damage to small areas of targets,which is hard to pull off well. However, with good enough play you can produce massive explosionsthat will decimate huge groups of enemies, or bosses. The Arachyr Chicken Witch Doctorbuild also looks quite promising after some massive buffs and reworks last season,but even with all of the balance changes the Mundunugu Witch Doctor will likely reign supreme.
1.7.
Wizard
Tal Rasha Meteor Wizard
After some changes in Season 28, Meteor Wizards are looking tobe extremely powerful once again. The ability to run both Meteor Shower and StarPact as runes should make both Tal Rasha and LoD potent builds capable of clearing atthe highest level. These were already capable of GR 150 solo in Season 28, and Wizardsshould once again be capable of the same feat.

Full Build Tier List
The difference between the tiers below is roughly equalto 5 GR levels. Also remember that builds evolve and adapt, and the tier list belowwill almost certainly end up over or undervaluing some builds as they play out overthe season. This list is by now means set in stone, and has plenty of room for changeas we learn more about the new builds.
