Diablo IV Players Are Pushing Insane Tower Runs as Season 11 Meta Starts to Shift

 


While Diablo II: Resurrected’s new Warlock class is dominating headlines, Diablo IV players are quietly pushing some of the most impressive endgame clears we’ve seen this season.

Season 11: Divine Intervention is now fully underway, and over the past 24 hours, high-end players and streamers have been climbing deeper into The Tower and The Pit — revealing early signs of a shifting meta.

If you thought the season had settled already, think again.

Paladin Builds Are Stealing the Spotlight

Right now, one class is clearly standing out: Paladin.

Recent buffs have pushed several Paladin builds into serious endgame viability, especially in high-tier Tower runs on Torment IV difficulty. Leaderboards are beginning to reflect this shift, with Paladin players consistently clearing higher floors and surviving longer in brutal late-game encounters.

Some streamers have already pushed:

  • Floor 57–75+ in The Tower

  • High-tier Pit clears on Torment IV

  • Hybrid defensive-damage builds optimized for survivability

The result is a noticeable shift in leaderboard composition compared to earlier in the season.

The Tower Leaderboards Are Heating Up

The Tower leaderboard beta continues to be one of the most interesting additions to Diablo IV’s evolving endgame.

Players are experimenting with:

  • Sustain-heavy defensive builds

  • Burst damage setups designed for elite waves

  • Group synergy strategies for deeper pushes

While there hasn’t been a major patch in the last 24 hours, the meta is evolving naturally as top players refine their builds and share strategies.

Watching the leaderboards climb right now is less about patch notes and more about raw player innovation.

No Major Patch — But Plenty of Movement

Blizzard hasn’t dropped a new Diablo IV patch in the last day, but that hasn’t slowed momentum.

Instead, the community is doing what Diablo players always do:
testing limits, optimizing builds, and chasing leaderboard dominance.

As more players hit endgame and experiment with Season 11 mechanics, expect further shifts in which classes and builds dominate high-tier content.

Why This Matters

Even without a fresh patch, Diablo IV is in one of its most interesting seasonal phases.

The meta is still forming.
Leaderboards are still volatile.
And players are pushing deeper every day.

For competitive players and build-crafters, this is the moment to watch — and to climb.

Sanctuary’s endgame race is far from over.
