Bossing Tier List

Project Diablo 2 builds rated for each endgame boss fight: Vision of Terror (Diablo Clone), Voidstone (Rathma) and Shadow of Hatred (Lucion). Every build has its own tier per boss at T0 and at T2. T0 tiers assume a subjective entry-level gear set, so some builds rank lower at T0 than at T2.

How bossing tiers work

Every build has two tiers per boss: T0 for the hardest version of the fight and T2 for the easiest. A build that is Easy at T2 can still be Hard, or not rated at all, at T0. T1 kills count toward the T2 tier. T0 tiers assume a subjective entry-level gear set, so some builds rank lower at T0 than at T2.

Bossing tiers are relative terms. You must be well-versed in the fight to even stand a chance on an Easy build.

  • Easy The build handles the fight comfortably once you know it.
  • Moderate Doable, but gear and execution matter.
  • Hard Possible, with little room for mistakes.
  • Unrated Not rated by the team yet.

These tiers are set by the Hiim PD2 team. Submitters can suggest a tier; moderators decide.
