Diablo 4 Season 9 Class Rankings: Which Class Can Help You Gain Advantages?

Every time you enter a new Diablo 4 season, you need to change your class and build selection according to their characteristics and other details while learning about the new content and gameplay as soon as possible.

This is because different classes can fully play their strengths for different seasonal gameplays, and the game will also strengthen or weaken each class to varying degrees due to seasonal changes to ensure game balance.

Although some players like to play their favorite/new classes first at all times, if you want to get enough Diablo 4 gold as soon as possible at the beginning of the season, the dominant class will be more suitable for you.

Based on this, we will list the class rankings suitable for Season 9 for you from low to high based on the performance of the 6 known Diablo 4 classes.

Diablo 4 Season 9 Class Rankings: Which Class Can Help You Gain Advantages?

No.6 Druid

To be honest, this class has been silent in Diablo 4 for several seasons, and it seems that this classic class is being forgotten by the developers. On this basis, it was still weakened in Season 9, which has to be said to be another blow to all Druid fans.

Even Cataclysm Build that can make Druid fully play its role has become a bit mediocre in Season 9 due to the drastic weakening of overpower. But if you insist on playing this class, it is recommended that you utilize Epilepsy Petrified Druid Build or Poison Pool Druid Build.

No.5 Rogue

Perhaps the newly added unique item Deathmask of Nirmitruq helm will make you think that it can make Rogue shine again in Season 9, but just like Druid’s Rotting Lightbringer, although they bring more builds possibilities, the overall efficiency is not high.

Take Deathmask of Nirmitruq as an example. On the basis of the weakening of the comprehensive Rogue mechanism, the utilization of this item requires too many resources, which requires too much of your farming ability at the beginning of the season.

If you are already a skilled Rogue player or can get extra resources through other means, then you can try to experience Rogue through this unique item craft new build, otherwise Death Trap Build will be more reliable, or simply choose a better class.

No.4 Barbarian

From the overall performance of 2.3.0 PTR, Barbarian can clear more than 90% of the layers of The Pit through Berserking and Bleed abilities, which is undoubtedly a reliable boost for your resource farming after entering the endgame.

Although these abilities may be weakened in the official S9, in general, the basic skill strength of Barbarian has been improved. Therefore, for insurance, you can also continue to utilize the classic Earthquake/Whirlwind Build in S9.

Among all the enhanced basic skills, Lunging Strike is the one that deserves more attention. Its function is to cause more damage to the enemy by quickly closing the distance with the enemy, which is suitable for craft more interesting melee builds.

No.3 Necromancer

As the third in this ranking list, most of the classic builds of Necromancer can continue to play a role in the new season due to the overall enhancement of skills and mechanisms, such as Bone Spear or Blood Wave.

As you know, due to the ability to summon minions in battle, Necromancer itself and most of the available builds have strong group combat power, and the clearing speed is also ahead of other classes.

Since the core content of Season 9 includes two new dungeons, Horadric Strongroom and Escalating Nightmares, and they are also the source of many key items, Necromancer’s abilities will be useful for farming in them.

No.2 Sorcerer

Since the launch of 2.3.0 PTR, Sorcerer, has attracted more attention, even though it is not the best class of Season 9, and this is entirely because of Hydra Build. This build has appeared in the past, but its performance in Season 9 will obviously be better.

As a summoning skill, Hydra can summon a three-headed hydra in battle to cause fire damage to the enemy, and you can continue to combine other types of skills to output more different types of damage to the enemy and attack the enemy from multiple angles.

The reason why this class did not become the first place may be that the subsequent games will weaken it because of the excessive strength of Hydra Build. But to be honest, this is not necessary because Hydra Build has not yet reached the point of destroying the balance of the game.

No.1 Spiritborn

As a new class that has only been released since DLC, Spiritborn has caused heated discussions in Diablo 4 player community with its fresh abilities and outstanding strength from the beginning. Although it has been weakened since Season 7, its charm remains undiminished.

The main damage output types of this class are thorns and poison damage, and the unique item Balazan’s Maxtlatl added in Season 9 allows you to output more of these two types of damage through related skills.

Based on this, you can choose to craft new Spiritborn builds, or continue to utilize Quill Volley Build, both of which can be very good at clearing dungeon enemies and even solving bosses, making your Season 9 battle easier.

The above rankings are only based on existing information, and there may be more changes in Season 9. Perhaps the weaker classes at the beginning of the season will also have the hope of becoming reliable in the latter stages!
