In new seasons of Diablo 3, leveling efficiently depends greatly on the build you choose to play. Builds that excel in clearing mobs, delivering potent AoE damage, and staying mobile around elite packs are the best choice for leveling in Diablo 3 Season 37. While there are a lot of builds that can be used to farm, only a few can take you to level 70 in under an hour with the right leveling method.
In this guide, we will break down the best builds to use for leveling in the ongoing season of Diablo 3 and what makes them the best builds for leveling.
Best build for EXP farming in Diablo 3 Season 37

1) GoD Hungering Arrow Demon Hunter
Demon Hunters are a great season starter due to their agility and tremendous AoE damage output. The Gears of the Deadlands Hungering Arrow stands at the pinnacle of Demon Hunter builds. The procs from the Gears of the Deadlands (GoD) set, along with Hungering Arrow, can easily trigger massive bursts of area damage that can wipe out packs of enemies without much difficulty. It offers smooth gameplay and scales well in the late game.
Core gear setup:
- Gears of Dreadlands
- The Ninth Cirri Satchel
- Hunter’s Wrath
- Dawn
- Depth Diggers
- Wraps of Clarity

2) UE Multishot Demon Hunter
The Unhallowed Essence Multishot Demon Hunter retains its place as one of the best beginner-friendly leveling builds in Diablo 3 Season 37. It is great at delivering screen-wide AoE damage while staying agile in Greater Rifts. The build greatly benefits from Yang’s Recurve and Dead Man’s Legacy for its smooth leveling progression, making it valuable to EXP farming players in the early game.
It falls short in the late game due to its lack of GR pushing capability, but it remains as one of the best EXP leveling builds in the early game of Diablo 4.
Core gear setup:
- Unhallowed Essence
- Yang’s Recurve
- Dead Man’s Legacy
- Dawn
- Squirt’s Necklace
- Captain Crimson’s Trimmings
- Ring of Royal Grandeur
3) AoV Fist of the Heavens Crusader

The Aegis of Valor (AoV) Fist of the Heavens dominates in bounty farming due to its high mobility from Steed Charge. The build further receives massive AoE clearing power from Fist of the Heavens, making it perfect for cleaving through mobs and gaining EXP quickly.
While it is still a solid EXP farming setup, its lack of single-target damage makes it unstable against Rift Guardians.
Core gear setup:
- Aegis of Valor
- Norvald’s Fervor
- Darklight
- Khassett’s Cord of Righteousness
- Vigilante Belt
- Squirt’s Necklace

4) Rathma AotD necromancer
While the Rathma Army of the Dead is usually considered a Greater Rift pushing build with high AoE damage potential, it still provides a well-balanced build that can be used to farm EXP. Its reliance on cooldown and low survivability makes it difficult to manage, especially if you are a solo player.
But if you are playing in groups, this build is key to deleting bosses almost instantly.
Core gear setup:
- Bones of Rathma
- Jesseth Arms
- Fate’s Vow
- Bonds of C’Lena
- Funerary Pick
- Krysbin’s Sentence
- Captain Crimson’s Trimmings
- Ring of Royal Grandeur
- Squirt’s Necklace
- Convention of Elements
5) LoD Wave of Light Monk

The Legacy of Dreams (LoD) Wave of Light Monk remains one of the best clearing builds in Diablo 3 Season 37. With its strong AoE and burst from Rabid Strike Clones, this is the best Monk build for players who want a close combat melee build capable of scaling well into mid-tier Greater Rifts.
While it offers one of the fastest EXP farming potentials, it requires a ton of gearing and depends heavily on the Legacy of Dreams gem.
Core gear setup:
- Incense Torch of the Grand Temple
- Kyoshiro’s Blade
- Rabid Strike
- Tzo Krin’s Gaze
- Pinto’s Pride
- The Crudest Boots
- Cindercoat
- Blackthorne’s Battlegear

6) Raekor Boulder Toss Barbarian
The Raekor Boulder Toss offers high mobility and explosive damage output in a mid to low-range playstyle. Its area damage proc ability and fast playstyle make it an ideal choice for speedfarming EXP. While powerful, Raekor has no damage reduction capability and needs Band of Might to increase survivability.
So if you want a high-impact Barbarian build in Diablo 3 Season 37, the Raekor Boulder Toss Barbarian can reach mid-level Greater Rifts with proper gearing.
Core gear setup:
- The Legacy of Raekor
- The Three Hundredth Spear
- Arreat’s Law
- Skular’s Salvation
- Band of Might
- Endless Walk

Mobility is key for speedfarming XP in Season 37 of Diablo 3. All the abovementioned builds excel at delivering massive AoE while staying mobile across the battlefield. However, choosing the right build depends on your playstyle.
If you want a ranged option, the Demon Hunter is the best choice for you, but if you want a close combat brawler, the Monk offers a fast-paced playstyle; both are efficient in the new season of Diablo 3.
