How the classification works
Builds are rated from C to S, C being the worst rating and S the best. The rating X means that it is a situational build, and therefore is not linked to a rating. This guide is made before the seasons patch, it will be updated with the balances.
- S: an ultra powerful build, no matter the situation
- A: a powerful build
- B: an ok build
- C: a poor build
- if it is viable in PvP, PvE or both
- its viability of patch 1.0 or 2.4
- its classic or atypical type
