Diablo 4 Season 5: How To Choose The Class That Best Suits Your Play Style?

Each class is equipped with a unique skill tree, allowing you to freely pick and match skills to suit your play style. This guide takes a thorough analysis into Necromancer, Rogue, Sorcerer, Barbarian, and Druid to help you choose the best class based on your play style.

Necromancer–Best Class Overall

The primary resource of a Necromancer is Essence, a resource that can be slowly restored over time or quickly accumulated using basic skills, and is used to cast powerful spells. The secondary resource of a Necromancer is Corpses, the remains of fallen enemies on the field. These corpses can be used in a variety of ways in the hands of a Necromancer, from manipulating them into skeleton minions to setting deadly traps for enemies using skills such as Corpse Explosion.

Necromancers can equip a wide variety of weapons, including swords, daggers, and wands, and they also have a unique scythe that is only available to this class. Necromancer has been carefully built for Diablo 4, focusing on devastating enemy groups with a devastating Bone Spear build. After creating numerous corpses with Bone Spear, they can temporarily revive the killed enemies with Corpse Explosion, causing AoE damage to all nearby enemies.

Barbarian–Best DPS Class

Barbarian is known for its extremely high health and strength. His attacks in combat will accumulate Fury, which can be used to unleash a series of powerful Fury skills.

The newly introduced Arsenal System brings more variety to Barbarian, with four weapon slots, allowing players to mix and match one-handed and two-handed weapons, opening up the possibility of carrying four legendary weapons at the same time. Each Fury skill automatically matches and uses the corresponding weapon to ensure smooth combat.

Barbarian build is centered on the use of Hammer of the Ancients, making it easy to crush nearby enemies and collect Diablo 4 Gold drops. This build excels in solo or team fights, with excellent survivability thanks to Iron Skin and Tactical Iron Skin, which effectively reduce damage taken and provides self-healing capabilities during combat.

Sorcerer–Best Ranged Class

With its mastery of lightning, fire, and frost, Sorcerer is a key player on any team aiming to defeat the toughest enemies. However, Sorcerer has lower health than Barbarian and Druid. Sorcerer passively regenerates mana, and one of her Minor Destruction skills is dedicated to generating mana.

Once Sorcerer reaches max level, she can unleash powerful ultimate skills that deal huge amounts of damage, potentially completely changing the tide of battle. While Sorcerer is not dominant in solo play, she can definitely play a devastating role in team play.

Sorcerer build focuses on using lightning spells to tear through enemies from a distance. The advantage of this build is that you can deal massive damage to enemies without having to get close to them. Although you may eventually encounter enemies that are resistant to lightning attacks, you can still maintain efficient output by strengthening Arc Lash and a deadly ultimate attack.

Rogue–Best Class For Crowd Control

Rogues can attack from a distance and engage in melee combat, and can choose to equip the corresponding skills as needed. Melee-style Rogues can wield swords and daggers, while those who prefer ranged combat can equip bows and crossbows to fire arrows and bolts at enemies.

Rogues have a number of special class tasks, which are scattered throughout Sanctuary. Rogues have three class specializations: Combo Points, Shadow Realm, and Exploit Weakness.

Among them, Shadow Realm allows melee-style Rogues to lure enemies into a dark void, and enemies outside the void will temporarily disappear, so that Rogues can prioritize eliminating enemies in the space in a safe environment.

Exploit Weakness specialization displays icons on enemies, providing opportunities for quick defeat. Combo Points specialization allows Rogue to accumulate points to unleash more powerful skills.

Rogue can also combine three imbue effects with any attack or skill to enhance its imbue effects, such as a ranged Rogue can combine Rain of Arrows with Frost Imbue effect to freeze the battlefield.

Rogue build is a versatile character that can attack from both range and close range. Penetrating Shot build focuses on weakening enemy minions with Smoke Grenade and Caltrops and then uses Puncture skill to accumulate combo points. Once enough combo points are accumulated, Penetrating Shot can be used to perform heavy attacks, while Dash and Concealment can be used to gain movement-based damage bonuses.

Druid–Best Class For Buffs

Druid can transform into a ferocious werebear or a terrifying werewolf to attack. No matter which form Druid is in, he is always accompanied by two wolf companions. Druid can also manipulate elements in human form.

Druid can focus entirely on shapeshifting mechanic. Compared to Barbarian and Sorcerer, Druid is better at fighting powerful single targets and multiple enemies at the same time than Sorcerer and Druid.

Druid builds are mainly centered on Landslide skill, which summons earth pillars to crush enemies. You can become faster and stronger through Druid’s Werebear. If the enemy can still stand after being hit by Trample and Landslide, activate Hurricane to trap them all and repeat the previous skill cycle.

Each class has its own unique features, and the best choice is the one that allows you to enjoy the game and play your play style.
