What are the five classes in Diablo 4?

William Davis Published 08/06/2023

Diablo 4 has five different classes for players to choose from. Each class has its own mechanic, setting them apart from the others.

The five different classes in Diablo 4 are Barbarian, Druid, Necromance, Rogue, and Sorcerer. Players can choose one of these five options as their main characters or try all of them until they find the right one.

Diablo 4 classes explained

Committing to one class is a big deal in Diablo 4, this means you will invest time and resources leveling up a character. Finding the perfect class that goes with your preferred playstyle is more important than you might think.

Barbarian

The first class in this guide is the Barbarian. These are aggressive characters that go into battle headfirst and yield weapons. In Diablo 4, the Barbarian’s abilities are linked to the different types of weapons they can carry. Bash is a skill that can only be activated with a bludgeoning weapon. Barbarians are better for players who prefer hand-to-hand combat.

Druid

Druid is a hybrid class with multiple skills available. Similar to the Barbarian, the Druid can engage in hand-to-hand combat once it turns into a beast. Druids can also call on the elements and perform some basic spellcasting. This is a class that offers the best of both worlds and allows players to better adapt to the situations.

Necromancer

Necromancer is usually more powerful than the other classes, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that it has become one of the most popular. Necromancers get the ability to control the undead and can poison any opponent. This is one of the classes with the richest lore.

Rogue

Rogues are swift and quick. They move in battle with such agility that enemies have a hard time pinning them down. Rogues allow you to adapt to the enemy, changing between melee and ranged attacks.

Sorcerer

A Sorcerer casts spells, it uses the elements in its favor to deal with the enemies. Sorcerers can use ice, lightning, or fire in a fight. It could be considered a more complex class that requires some mastering.
