The latest season of Diablo 4 is out, which means the tier list of Nightmare dungeons is important to consider as you make your way through Sanctuary levelling up and XP farming. The selection of dungeons in Season 5 is the same as the previous season, so you'll likely be familiar with most of them by this point.

There are plenty of builds for you to try across the range of classes, with some allowing you to gain XP faster than others. However, the Nightmare Dungeon you choose is also key, with some letting you grind out experience much faster than others.
