While "tier lists" in Titan Quest are subjective, a solid ranking depends on a build's ability to survive the -100% resistance penalty of Legendary difficulty while maintaining high clear speeds. Titan Quest Fans Forum S-Tier: The "God" Builds
- If you are new to ARPGs: Conqueror. It is forgiving, easy to gear, and you will reach Legendary without a guide.
- If you love Necromancers/Mages: Evoker. It feels like a modern Diablo 3 wizard.
- If you want a challenge: Ranger. Micro-managing Plague and positioning your bow will teach you game mechanics others ignore.
- If you hate yourself: Spellbreaker. We warned you.
These builds work, but they require either perfect legendary drops or specific relic combinations. Avoid these for your first playthrough.
