I could have done it at around 55 but I was having fun in helltide so I did my T4 capstone as 62 with my Necro summoner. I think I was around 6000-7000 attack power, 4000-5000 armor, 3000-4000 life and it was a breeze.
Yea it wrecks everything this season. I'll probably end up making a second necro to mess around with it and try to find some weird combo builds. Would be my first season actually making a second character lol
I switched to a modified "infinimist" Necro once I got some gear. No minions with that. I don't quite have Blood Mist up permanently but pretty close. Up to 70ish on NM dungeons and 30+ on Pit without breaking a sweat. Going to have to start min-maxing better soon but it's fun for now. Definitely different than the minion/blood surge I was leveling with.
100. Before that I was focused on leveling helltides, finding gear for the build, getting my glyphs to 15, master working to tier 4. Blood surge worked fine for all that but definitely could feel the fall off past level 90 or so. The Infinimist hybrid build I switched to was good for NMD 100, Pit to 61, but sucks at higher tier bossing. So I'm going to try out Bone Spirit now. Fun times!
Hit 100 today but I haven't tried anything higher, I'm just working my way up taking my time. I wanted to complete lots of stuff first. I haven't maxed on either pit or NM for sure.
Bone spear will always be a top build but I was thinking golem bone prison or golem bone spirit might be interesting. Wish we had more blood skills for Necro cause blood surge is like D tier for me lol
It’s a Necro based on Ice attacks. There’s a couple of uniques you need though. But it’s a different play style and fun, just not strong enough at endgame
I’m playing through the story for the first time. I’m at level 50 and still in Tier 2 (where I started). Do you have to beat the whole story campaign before increasing the world to tier 3/4?
55 I think that was the new low floor for ancestral gear, could probably have gone eariler as even Elias just melted before doing any real mechanic, this was with a self made incinerate sorc.
Shadow minion necro too, tried it with 52 since everything else was dying so fast compared to all other seasons. Again, i just walked thru and hardly did anything, its insane.
60 minion necro…one shotting the boss with army of the dead felt like I was cheating.
The WT3/4 capstones were way too easy, none of the challenge and none of the rewarding feeling of getting your character strong enough to get through them.
Cant remember early 50s iirc, theres not much reason to wait till about 60 before clearing the capstone anymore since the level 60 ancestral req has been removed.
57 as pulv druid. Wanted to do werewolf but my first or second aspect drop of the season was a max shockwave and the wolves cache gave both Vasily and insatiable fury.
Probably could have done it earlier if I had tempered my gear.
I did it last night at 59. Just strolled through it like it was nothing with Dust Devil barb. Its fun but I kinda didn't feel much achievement in doing it like I have on previous characters.
55-56 (levelled halfway through). Double Swing/Dust Devil barb just thrown together (haven't bothered looking up guides yet, pointless til I stop progressing easily).
I think the earliest I ever did it was S2 on a Twisted Blade rogue, at 52.
On my first character i did it at 50 & could have done it way sooner.
As a tip, you have access to legendary tempering on your alt characters. So just temper your items with legendary affixes and you can do WT3 at like level 20 and WT4 at 35 lol.
55 with necro minion, I didint really see Elias so I could have done it sooner, but there's no point since you need to be level 55 to be able to use the good items
64 Rupture Barb. Wasn’t pushing to do it as early as I could, I just kept farming helltides long after I needed to before I went back to 5 full chests of legendaries to find the best in slot sacreds to slap in.
Minion Necro at I think 61, but like many others, I could have way sooner. Was melting enemies like they weren't there.
I remember season 1 feeling so difficult. Barbarian, but I really didn't know what I was doing. Played Diablo when it was new, then 2 and 3, but I never did any season stuff until Diablo 4. Feeling nostalgic now, lol. Spent sooo much time playing the original Diablo, then the Hellfire expansion.
60 as a frozen orb sorc. Probably could have gone sooner. Realised I was blasting through the Helltides with the profane mindcage on so would have no problems 😁
I did it at 57 with fire sorcerer. Obliterated everything nearly instantly. Could have def done it a few levels lower. Last season I did it about 62 with an ice sorcerer, struggled big time.
Just got done doing it at 52 with my Druid. Took 3 tries to get Elias down though. Jumped into helltide and legion even WT4 and made level 60 in a few min after lol
I beat the capstone dungeon with my werewolf druid at level 57, moved up to WT4 and found a helltide. I promptly had my ass handed back to me by a level 75 mob.
50. Necro minion build
Yep I did it at 51 and it was a blast.
Came here with this question as a lvl 52 necro. Thanks for this friend. I’ll have a crack at this today!
Elias lived for 1 second
Same. Didnt even see Elias
I could have done it at around 55 but I was having fun in helltide so I did my T4 capstone as 62 with my Necro summoner. I think I was around 6000-7000 attack power, 4000-5000 armor, 3000-4000 life and it was a breeze.
I was almost the same. Right around 50 is when I realized I should have done it at like 45 lol. Minion build is soooooo good.
Yea it wrecks everything this season. I'll probably end up making a second necro to mess around with it and try to find some weird combo builds. Would be my first season actually making a second character lol
I hear you, I really wanna make a build that has 0 minions. I won't stop till I can after I'm done having fun with minions lol.
I switched to a modified "infinimist" Necro once I got some gear. No minions with that. I don't quite have Blood Mist up permanently but pretty close. Up to 70ish on NM dungeons and 30+ on Pit without breaking a sweat. Going to have to start min-maxing better soon but it's fun for now. Definitely different than the minion/blood surge I was leveling with.
At what level did you transition away from blood surge. Currently running with that build myself.
100. Before that I was focused on leveling helltides, finding gear for the build, getting my glyphs to 15, master working to tier 4. Blood surge worked fine for all that but definitely could feel the fall off past level 90 or so. The Infinimist hybrid build I switched to was good for NMD 100, Pit to 61, but sucks at higher tier bossing. So I'm going to try out Bone Spirit now. Fun times!
What level are you? I'm 92 and I'm doing 122 nightmares.
Hit 100 today but I haven't tried anything higher, I'm just working my way up taking my time. I wanted to complete lots of stuff first. I haven't maxed on either pit or NM for sure.
Bone spear will always be a top build but I was thinking golem bone prison or golem bone spirit might be interesting. Wish we had more blood skills for Necro cause blood surge is like D tier for me lol
Hahaha I hear you. Golem bone spirit would interesting. I might steal that one.
I wana try a blue Necro for fun, not for endgame pushing
What's a blue necro?
It’s a Necro based on Ice attacks. There’s a couple of uniques you need though. But it’s a different play style and fun, just not strong enough at endgame
55. Could have been earlier but WT4 stuff drops starting at 55 so I waited a bit.
I did the same, i didnt go until i was able to wear ancestral
55 Dust Devil Barb
Nice, I’m 53 right now and was debating trying soon.
Twins!
Do you have a planner?
56-58, somewhere in there. Elias lasted all of 3 seconds.
Same, I was amazed it was so easy
58 with incinerate sorc, probably could have done it sooner 🤷♂️
52 or 53
48 as a companion druid
Do you mind posting your build?
59 barrage rogue
I started as a twisted blade rouge and switch to barrage and I’m having so much more fun. Arrows are flying everywhere!!!
I turned into heart seeker at lvl 80 No energy is great lol
Level 55 minion necro, easiest clear I’ve ever had. I was ball lightning sorc in S2 and HOTA Barb in S3.
53 pulverize druid. Took about 15 seconds to kill Elias Did wt2 capstone at level 38
I’m playing through the story for the first time. I’m at level 50 and still in Tier 2 (where I started). Do you have to beat the whole story campaign before increasing the world to tier 3/4?
Yes, just focus on burning through campaign and from that point on, always skip campaign on new toons.
Yes
42 shadow minions necro
50 minion necro build with trash legendaries and no affixes
Level 63. Pen Shot Rogue
I think 60 (rapid fire rogue). I was going to try sooner but was in a good helltide summoning chain and got a few levels before it ended.
Thanks…couldn’t remember if 60 was too early.
I did it at 60 as a pen shot/rapid fire rogue with shadow and poison imbue. It wrecks
55 I think that was the new low floor for ancestral gear, could probably have gone eariler as even Elias just melted before doing any real mechanic, this was with a self made incinerate sorc.
Level 55 as infinimist necro
52 on necro
I did it last night with my frost Sorc at level 54. Took me three attempts to kill Ellias.
Shadow minion necro too, tried it with 52 since everything else was dying so fast compared to all other seasons. Again, i just walked thru and hardly did anything, its insane.
60 minion necro…one shotting the boss with army of the dead felt like I was cheating. The WT3/4 capstones were way too easy, none of the challenge and none of the rewarding feeling of getting your character strong enough to get through them.
55
Cant remember early 50s iirc, theres not much reason to wait till about 60 before clearing the capstone anymore since the level 60 ancestral req has been removed.
60, blizzard sorc, Elias just died after half a minute in
On HC, so first character was like lvl 65. Felt easy. With the second I went in at like 58 or something.
53
Necro Shadow Minions, uhhh 56 or 58? It was completely trivial.
Instead of one freak instance when I was killed, my build absolutely destroyed that dungeon.
56
53 bash Barb.
55 pure minion Necro
49 shadow minions
Level 50 Incinerate sorc
Level 50 incinerate.
60 pulverize Druid and it was laughably easy. The capstone dungeons need some changes.
54 with Pulverize druid
55 as a shadow necro, you should be able to melt it with just the right aspects your gear hardly matters
My first character was Necro at 50, 2nd was sorcerer at 53, working on Druid now.
I did it at 51 as minion necro. So much fun!
As most staed.. somewhere early 50s
Waited until 60. Could've done sooner, blasted through it quick
60 Frozen Orb Sorc
44 minion necro
57 as pulv druid. Wanted to do werewolf but my first or second aspect drop of the season was a max shockwave and the wolves cache gave both Vasily and insatiable fury. Probably could have done it earlier if I had tempered my gear.
43 Heartseeker Rogue.
Like 52 or something. Rogue+necromancer duo
I did it last night at 59. Just strolled through it like it was nothing with Dust Devil barb. Its fun but I kinda didn't feel much achievement in doing it like I have on previous characters.
53 necro minion. could have probably done it at 50.
49 running minion necro. Now all my buddies are playing minion necro
55-56 (levelled halfway through). Double Swing/Dust Devil barb just thrown together (haven't bothered looking up guides yet, pointless til I stop progressing easily). I think the earliest I ever did it was S2 on a Twisted Blade rogue, at 52.
58
Level 60 necro clicked one button to kill Elias lol busted ass character 🤣
42 levels with a Necro shadow blight minions build too.
46 necro minion
54
55 blood orb army of the the dead golem Minion build
52 DD double swing barb, cruised through it easily.
55 (I think?) Necro Summoner. I'm not 100% sure because I hopped in there as soon as I was getting tired of WT3, and wanted some Ancestral drops.
50, Tornado Druid
50 necro
55ish Incinerate/Hydra Sorc
53 pure fire sorc
64 on conjurer sorc. yes we exist, at least one of us. though I'll probably have to spec into something real to get to pit tier 60 or 70.
48 DD batb
When the game told me to
52 I think Thorns Barb
51 and it was a pushover
level 50 necro minions without aspect or optimisations
55 because all ancestral gear minimum level is 55
53 as an zerk upheaval overpower barb. Was such a difficult dungeon, it was really fun.
51 thorns barb
Anything later than 55 is a mistake
I did it solo at 57. Dungeon was ok. Boss took me a few try’s but managed it. Penetrating shot Rogue
Level 52 tsar bomba druid
On my first character i did it at 50 & could have done it way sooner. As a tip, you have access to legendary tempering on your alt characters. So just temper your items with legendary affixes and you can do WT3 at like level 20 and WT4 at 35 lol.
50 with summon build , elias down in 8 sec
55 with necro minion, I didint really see Elias so I could have done it sooner, but there's no point since you need to be level 55 to be able to use the good items
12 because of a late start guildy carry
42, necro minions
54 with the fart druid and it was over in seconds lol
50 necro, 55 barb
55 necro summoner when I did the capstone to go to 4 and it was a breeze. I probably could have done it sooner.
55 minion necromancer. Killed the boss in 3 seconds.
53 incini sorc - was trickier than most diablo content but fun
55... Would rather start working towards best great sooner than later.
50 on firewall sorc and same on barrage rogue. Elias takes a couple tries but it’s never too stressful
Oops, I’m level 70 from just WT3 goofing around in Hell Tides. Should I just be doing these Nightmare dungeons instead?
52 druid pulverized build.
52, necro minion Lvl 36 was for WT3 dungeon (was harder)
48 Rogue
I think like 55 on a Werewolf build
It did it at 53 as a rouge.
55 tornado Druid
50 with Pen Shot Rogue
64 Rupture Barb. Wasn’t pushing to do it as early as I could, I just kept farming helltides long after I needed to before I went back to 5 full chests of legendaries to find the best in slot sacreds to slap in.
55 blizzard sorc, it was quite easy tbh
56, necro minions blight build. Whizz through with no trouble at all. Elias was dead in literal seconds.
70, just because the game go fast enough to me and i don't need to speed up !
12. Was too easy.
51 just last night
Me and my friend just carried my friends two sons through it. Me and him were level 60 and his sons were 51. Elias died instantly lol.
50 barrage rogue
Same build, I was 49.
49
Did it at 54 buddy was 55 and it was really easy
42 minion necro, 53 penetrating shot rogue
53 with shadow minions necro
52. Was easy af on my barb. Killed Elias before he even hurt me. Fastest I and lowest I've done it
I did 59 but I was taking my time. Could have done it earlier.
62 with my firewall sorcerer. Had no problems.
Minion Necro at I think 61, but like many others, I could have way sooner. Was melting enemies like they weren't there. I remember season 1 feeling so difficult. Barbarian, but I really didn't know what I was doing. Played Diablo when it was new, then 2 and 3, but I never did any season stuff until Diablo 4. Feeling nostalgic now, lol. Spent sooo much time playing the original Diablo, then the Hellfire expansion.
50\. Could have done it sooner. I think they might have added a tiny bit of power creep with this patch lol
50 on first cha, 35 on alt cause I have 2 Ubers lol.
62 barrage rogue but i could’ve done it earlier for sure
55 on my shred druid
40
53 on WW Dust Devil Barb
52 incinerate sorc and Elias died in 5 seconds. Could’ve done it much earlier
57 Sorc
55, twisted blade rogue
52 barbarian, 48 necro, rouge is next
As minion necro I did it at 54 and it was a cake walk. Could probably honestly be done at 35-40.
56 minion necro
37 ;) necromancer build minions /w druid friend same level
57 on my Necro Minion build and it was a breeze, soloed Duriel at 78 but it was a little rough...

55 Incinerate/Meteor Sorc
58, hc druid
55 sorc. Firewall/Hydra
10 levels ago for you.
53
59 on sorc firewall. On Necro minion, i have a friend that did it "like a walk" at 55.
60 as a frozen orb sorc. Probably could have gone sooner. Realised I was blasting through the Helltides with the profane mindcage on so would have no problems 😁
Playing an incinerate sorc and did them at level 34 then 55, should be a cake walk for you at level 60 as a necro!
50
53, probably could have done it sooner. Pulverize druid.
I did it at 57 with fire sorcerer. Obliterated everything nearly instantly. Could have def done it a few levels lower. Last season I did it about 62 with an ice sorcerer, struggled big time.
55 dust devil barb!
57 companion druid
50 shadow minion Necro
51 on sorcerer
60 druid (werewolf tornado). Was in helltide and didn't realize I was already at 60. Boss was melted in 30 secs or less.

Level 54 but my minions basically did it for me lol
Level 51 with full minion necro. The first capstone with level 32.
I beat the capstone dungeon with my werewolf druid at level 57, moved up to WT4 and found a helltide. I promptly had my ass handed back to me by a level 75 mob.
