State of Set has been updated! Many thanks to TinneOnnMuin, who helped me with this update.
Here’s the current state of the top 10:
| Set/Build | Peak Adjusted Clear | Average Adjusted Clear in top 10 | Adjusted 100th place clear |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wiz Tal Rasha | 153.9 | 153.3 | 151.3 |
| Necro Trag’oul | 152.6 | 151.3 | 149.0 |
| Barb Raekor | 152.0 | 151.4 | 148.7 |
| Wiz No Set | 152.0 | 150.4 | 144.5 |
| Crusader Akkhan | 151.4 | 150.5 | 147.3 |
| Necro Rathma | 151.2 | 149.8 | 142.8 |
| DH Marauder | 151.0 | 150.2 | 147.3 |
| Monk No Set | 151.0 | 150.4 | 147.7 |
| Necro No Set | 150.8 | 149.9 | 144.5 |
| Barb No Set | 149.0 | 147.9 | 139.1 |
It has not changed much since last time, though Trag’Oul Necro did jump up an entire tier to take the #2 spot. For the full set of numbers, head to the full spreadsheet.
There are some places where these numbers are sure to be incorrect, i.e. for sets that only recently got buffed (Nats, Unhallowed, PoJ, Raiment, Masquerade, etc) and so haven’t had time to show their strength in a non-seasonal setting.
So: to see what would happen, I did a cross-check against the S28 numbers for each build:
| Set | State of Set Peak Clear | Season 28 Peak Clear | Difference | S28 Peak minus Average Altar | S28PMAA vs State of Set |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Barb H90 | 143.6 | 154.2 | 10.6 | 147.0 | 3.4 |

The 5th column, here, subtracts the average buff from the altar from the top adjusted clear for each set from S28. In other words, it tries to put it in the same ballpark as the numbers from State of Set. I looked at this “average altar buff” 3 ways.
First, just an average of all the numbers in the 4th column (which is the difference between the S28 clears and State of Set). This came out to +6.7 tiers. Second, I averaged the numbers only from builds that were either recently buffed (Nats, Typhon, etc), S-tier (Raekor, Marauder, etc), or the best set for the class (Arachyr). This came out to +7.6 tiers. Third, I looked at just the “S or Best” builds (S tier builds plus Arachyr). This came out to +7.2. So, I settled on +7.2 as a good average figure.
I think the overall takeaway here is that yes, a few builds are stronger than they appear in State of Set, most notably H90 Frenzy, which has barely budged since its damage was doubled (went from peak clear of 143.5 to 143.6). That’s just because people haven’t pushed it hard yet in non-season. In S28, it’s about where you would actually expect it to be.
