D2R 2.6 Best Chaos & Diablo Builds Tier List & Ranking

Chaos prep got some other major movement this patch, so on this particular list definitely see some new builds being able to prep Diablos so much easier now. For example, once you charge up on any of these Claws of Thunder charges up faster, it doesn't do quite as much damage in P8, you have to try to spawn Diablo and players eat on this list as fast as possible; Phoenix Strike Assassin Builds can destroy players a but you have to spend like a decent amount of seconds to charge everything up so it's going to slow down your overall clear speed, so it's making a debut on that list though which is pretty cool.
