With the addition of 5 new unique Malignant Rings in Diablo 4's latest patch, players now have more options for empowering their class builds. These rings provide powerful bonuses tailored to specific skills, giving a huge boost when paired with the right setups. In this guide, we'll overview the top builds for each class that can leverage these new unique rings.

Diablo 4 Best Maligant Ring Barbarian Builds Ranked

The Barbarian's Ring of Red Furor empowers Hammer of the Ancients, Upheaval, and Death Blow. For Hammer builds, this is an easy top-tier choice for the added resource generation and cooldown reduction. Upheaval can also make good use of the ring, though other Barb builds won't find as much value.

Ranking:

• Hammer of the Ancients Barb (A Tier)

• Upheaval Barb (A Tier)

• Walking Arsenal (A Tier)

• Pundquake (A Tier)

• Other builds (F Tier)

Diablo 4 Best Maligant Ring Druid Builds Ranked

Airidah’s Inexorable Will groups enemies together every 5 seconds, creating density for AoE damage. This makes it a great fit for Stormclaw, Tornado, and Shred Druid builds. However, the long interval between pulls makes it less useful for some builds like Pulverize.

Ranking:

• Tornado Druid (A Tier)

• Thorns Bear Druid (A Tier)

• Bulwark Druid (A Tier)

• Stormclaw Druid (B Tier)

• Shred Druid (B Tier)

• Pulverize Druid (B Tier)

• Lightning Storm Druid (B Tier)

• Other builds (C-F Tier)

Diablo 4 Best Maligant Ring Necromancer Builds Ranked

The Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul auto-casts corpse skills, providing huge quality of life. With bonus ranks to all corpse skills, this ring empowers virtually every Necromancer build for season 2. It's particularly strong for Infinimist and Sever.

Ranking:

• Infinimist Necro (S Tier)

• Sever Necro (A Tier)

• Summoner Necro (A Tier)

• Pentadot (B Tier)

• All other builds (C Tier)

Diablo 4 Best Maligant Ring Rogue Builds Ranked

Unfortunately, the Writhing Band of Trickery doesn't have great synergy with most Rogue builds. The ability to taunt enemies away can help survivability, but giving up a ring slot is too high an opportunity cost. Only niche trap builds may find some use.

Ranking:

• Trap builds (B Tier)

• All other builds (F Tier)

Diablo 4 Best Maligant Ring Sorcerer Builds Ranked

Tal Rasha’s Iridescent Loop is incredibly versatile, providing damage, cooldown reduction, and resources. The cycling elemental damage bonus empowers all Sorcerer builds. This is a must-have ring for the class.

Ranking:

• All builds (S Tier)

In summary, while some rings like Tal Rasha's have universal value, others require more specialized builds to take full advantage. Barbarian Hammer and Necromancer Infinimist/Sever builds have the best synergy with the new Season 2 rings. Rogues sadly don't get as much benefit overall. With smart ring selections and paired with complementary builds, players can push their characters to new heights this season.
