Diablo 4 Season 3 Nightmare Dungeon Tier List - Best NM Dunegons for Solo/Group/Glyph XP Farming
Blizzard just unveiled the complete nightmare dungeon lineup for Season 3 in Diablo 4, and we must say, it's shaping up to be an exciting run. Our initial plan was to dive right in and test everything out, but then it hit us - we can't accurately gauge the experience gains as all our characters have maxed out at level 100. However, fear not! We've been compiling these tier lists since Diablo 4 launched, so we have a solid understanding of how dungeons have evolved from Season 1 through Season 3. This knowledge allows me to give you a sneak peek at which dungeons are likely to be the cream of the crop and which ones might not be worth your time.
Remember those dungeons from previous seasons that were just unbeatable? Well, some have maintained their god-tier status. Let's take a closer look:

D4 Season 3 Dungeons Tier List (Overall)
S Tier Dungeons
These are the dungeons you'll want to prioritize for the best experience and loot:
Blind Burrows
Guulrahn Canals
Uldur's Cave
Aldurwood
Ghoa Ruins (Ghoa is particularly outstanding because you can head straight for the boss and clear it quickly, making for efficient runs.)
A Tier Dungeons
Still excellent choices, these dungeons offer great rewards and should be high on your list:
Mariner's Refuge
Mercy's Reach
Champion's Demise
Tomb of the Saints
Akkhan's Grasp
Charnel House
Dead Man's Dredge
Komdor Temple
Deserted Underpass
B Tier Dungeons
A respectable choice, but not as efficient as the higher tiers:
Kor Dragan Barracks
C Tier Dungeons
These are somewhat lackluster and might not be the best use of your time:
Collapsed Vault
Serpent's Lair
Salvage Tier
Consider these dungeons your last resort. They're not recommended unless there's a specific item or reason you need to run them:
Bastion of Faith
Faceless Shrine
Prison of Caldeum
Path of the Blind
Betrayer's Row
Maugan's Works
Shivta Ruins
Blizzard also hinted at some new entries to the dungeon rotation this season. We'll have to play through them to see how they stack up, but we are optimistic.
This tier list is about 95% accurate based on extensive data from past seasons. So gear up, summon your Sena pets, and get ready to blast through Season 3! I'll be there grinding away and I hope to see many of you in-game.
