You should do a separate section for the top build for each class.

This would be plain wrong because:
1. Some builds can use different classes. For example, Poutsos Flicker Nuke is originally a Shadow build (an it fist shadow's theme), but you CAN use this build as Witch or Ranger or even Duelist, and differences will be quite negligible.
2. Some "best" builds for certain classes could be not so best in general statistics.

I guess i meant most optimal but i do understand that mostly any class can play any build(whether less or more efficiently is a different story). With only 5 builds listed(and a sixth under "previous top 5") I would be interested in seeing a few more builds that you deem worthy, looking through all the different class forums and determining whether a build is decent is harder for less experienced players such as myself.

Here are my personal qualifications for what a constitutes a tier 1 build which I think many people can at least partially agree with:

1-Have ways to mitigate or completely nullify reflect
2-Have enough survivalbility (via life/blocking/dodging/regen/armor) to progress extremely high levels 95+ with low or zero death count - this ties in (1)
3-Be able to do 99% of map mods/combinations (excluding perhaps blood magic) including the combination :
-25 max resist, double reflect, no regen, 35 monster damage, monster gmp. Ideally, also able to fight bosses under extremely hard mods.
4-Able to absolutely destroy(in terms of dps) 77/78 maps even solo


Any build that meets the first 4 criteria is undoubtedly and unquestionably tier 1 in my books. I would also like to add that providing aura support , especially dps auras like wrath, anger, hatred, and haste vastly increases group clear speed.
If I missed a crucial point, please chime in.

End game is not about mf-ing and there are other ways to survive without being a pure tank even factoring in desync.
