D2R Ladder Guide: Top Starter Builds
With the new season of Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder coming up, players are searching for top builds for this season to deal with content. For pro players, it won’t be difficult, but beginners will have a hard time as they are unfamiliar with how classes and related stuff work. Also, Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder is different as it features some new rune words. At the start of the ladder, each player will start at level zero, and they have to level up their characters, so starter builds are a hot topic now. After the ladder ends, everything will be converted to a non-ladder. This includes all the recipes and rune words. To end your quest, here are some of the best starts builds for Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder that you can consider.
1. Trap Assassin Build
To deal with monsters, a trap assassin has an amazing arsenal of skills. The ladder is the best option as you can level up it very easily. The fire blast skill deals a hefty amount of damage, while the lightning sentry skill uses lightning for its benefit. For great mobility, the trap assassin uses the burst of speed skill. Shadow disciplines use mind blasts and a cloak of shadows to offer protection against damage from enemies. In terms of gears, you don’t have to do much, as the caster gear is enough for the most part. Although better gear is optional, you will see the visible difference.

2. Light/Cold Amazon Build
The lighting amazon starts with only one element, which makes it difficult for you to deal with terror zones.

As a born caster, the starting gear for this build will keep you going for some time until you find better gear. To get better loot, use the item-finding skills of a barbarian.
