There will be five playable classes in the Open Beta of Diablo 4: Barbarian, Necromancer, Wizard, Ranger, and Druid. Each class has unique class mechanics as well as skill trees equipped with various spells, which will be available for choice at the game's launch in early June. All classes have different playstyles, but which one is best for you? Read on to learn about all the classes that Diablo 4 has to offer and find out which one is best for you.
barbarian
The barbarians in Diablo 4 wield weapons in the dark
The barbarians in Diablo 4 are brave warriors who leap into battle. Their main mechanism is the weapons arsenal, which allows them to hold four weapons at once. Some of their abilities require you to use a specific type of weapon, such as cutting, two-handed, dual-wielding, or blunt strikes. The more you use a weapon, the more expertise you'll get, which will give you buffs like increasing critical strike chance or dealing more damage to vulnerable enemies.
Barbarians are not only capable of mastering offensive weapons, but also large men capable of withstanding heavy blows from any enemy. They have numerous shouts and damage reduction abilities, and because they survive, these fighters like to fight in close quarters.
Necromancer
The necromancer in Diablo 4 summons the Skeleton Legion
The Necromancer is a new class in the Open Beta (not playable during the first weekend), but it is a regular character in the Diablo series. These summoners summon large numbers of undead enemies to carry out their orders, or sacrifice their minions to strengthen themselves.
Their unique mechanic is called the Book of the Dead, and it will allow you to customize your army of the undead by choosing the units you will summon and their specializations. You can add more health to your pieces, increase damage output, or make them capable of dealing range damage. If you don't want to manage your Companions, you can choose to sacrifice some or all of them for permanent buffs.
Necromancers have a unique resource that no other class has: corpses. They possess essence, similar to mana, and allow you to cast regular abilities, but in order to summon minions, you'll need a corpse. If you want to be alone, you can also detonate the deceased.
thief
Rogue is a versatile duelist who can specialize in ranged or melee combat. Their unique class mechanics are specialization, which will change your basic abilities and playstyle. There are three different specializations: combo points, inner vision, and preparation.
Combo points will increase the damage output of certain skills and change their function, increase the number of arrows fired or increase the chance of knocking out enemies. Inner vision provides unlimited energy when attacking a marked enemy for a short duration. Unfortunately, Ready is not available in beta, but can be unlocked at level 30. (The Diablo 4 beta sets the character level cap at level 25.) ）
Rogue is a highly mobile class that can use stealth, traps, and empowerments to tackle any form of combat. They can quickly enter and exit combat with ranged and melee skills and backstab you before you realize it.
sorcerer
Wizards are typical ranged spellcasters or fantasy mages. By using the power of fire, lightning, and frost magic, wizards can destroy their opponents. Whether you want to summon a Flame Water Dragon or unleash a chain of lightning in a row, wizards can easily defeat their enemies.
Their unique class mechanic is the magic enchantment, which provides a powerful passive effect to your skills that is triggered automatically. There are three enchantment slots, one for each element's skill. When you use an element's skill, the passive skill has a certain chance of triggering. For example, your Enchanted Fire Element skill is automatically triggered when using a Fire Elemental skill or when an enemy takes Burn Damage.
Wizards are slightly more vulnerable than other classes, but they have a range of defensive skills that make them impervious to being killed. Wrap yourself in ice, surround your body with fire, or simply quickly stay out of danger. The wizard is the king of early betas and will continue to be a master slayer.
druid
Druids are new characters in open beta, but have been around for a long time in the world of Diablo. They are shapeshifters capable of transforming into savage bears or ferocious werewolves and unleashing the wrath of nature to defeat enemies. Their unique class mechanic is the Spirit Animal System, which gives your character benefits such as new passive skills and stat boosts.
In Diablo 4, necromancers aren't the only summoners, as druids can also summon companions to help you. Summon wolves, ravens, and vines to help you defeat the demons scattered throughout the Temple. You can also summon one of nature's deadliest disasters, such as hurricanes, to sweep away your enemies.
