Diablo IV - Now that we have played all 5 classes of Diablo 4, it is time to rank them and give some thoughts of what the high level experience may be like!
Diablo IV Beta Class Tier List
Top 1: Sorcerer
Top 2: Necromancer
Top 3: Rogue
Top 4: Barbarian
Top 5: Druid
#1 Sorcerer
Mana regen is very fast.
Damage is good, but not quite a 10/10.
Teleport is the best movement skill in the game.
Survivability is a 10/10 with many incredible defensive tools.
4-6 second Immunity, constant chills, constant barriers, multiple immunities, multiple CC breaks, the best passive damage reduction in the game with Barriers.
He thinks Necromancer may outscale the Sorc in damage in the end game, but ranks Sorcerer higher due to all the utility options.
The dynamic Enchantment system is very good, and allows you to swap out skills on the fly even during combat.
The most versatile and mobile class in the game.
#2 Necromancer
10/10 damage on a single target/mob/boss, and great overall damage. Bone skills are very good, and Bone Splinters is the best Basic skill in the game.
No movement skills is a notable negative.
Necromancer surviviability is a 5/10.
Summons/Minions are very strong in the beta, but he doesn't think they will be a viable end game build as there just aren't enough talents/skills and the scaling will drop off.
#3 Rogue
If you want to play a melee character that resembles the Barbarian of previous Diablo games, play a melee Rogue.
Burst damage is high through Imbuements. Dash has great mobility and can do decent damage.
7/10 in terms of damage, same as Barbarian. However, he expects the Barbarian's damage to be higher and scale a bit better than Rogue in the end game, but still believes Rogues will be doing good damage at the higher levels.
Also a brutally fast character, allowing you to outplay dangerous situations. Perfect for those wanting a twitch based/high APM character.
Definitely one of the better survivability classes in the game.
#4 Barbarian
Damage overall is a 7/10. Can do decent damage with combination of War Crys, Bleed, and Thorns.
Survivability is the worst in the game. Barbarians in previous Diablo games were the tankiest class, but in D4 they are below every other class in survivability.
He expects Barabarians to be one of if not the best damage dealers in the game on a single target/mob/boss, but because of the anti-melee mechancis in the game, he expects real world Barb damage to fall below other classes.
#5 Druid
By far the lowest damage class in Diablo 4. Damage is "very poor". Ranks it a 4/10 in damage overall.
Tools are there for some decent combos, but everything is just so low damage, and the class overall feels very slow and clunky.
He thinks Druid damage will get better later in the game, but fears the clunkiness of the class will remain.
There are decent survivability options, but it's hard to see it all coming together given that we can't access the Druid class mechanics in the beta.
