In Diablo 4 there are different classes with different abilities and play style. Each class is specific and it requires you to equip different pieces on them as well as change your stats depending on what type of a class you play.
Blizzard have tried to balance out all classes and make them as equal as possible. In this guide, we will show you our launch tier list for Diablo 4.
Launch Tier List
In Diablo 4 you have different classes, they are:
- Barbarian
- Druid
- Necromancer
- Rogue
- Sorceress
In the table below we will create a simple tier list where you can see exactly how hard it is to build your class from start to finish.
The ranking in the following order:
- S – Best
- A
- B
- C
- D
- F – Worst
| Tier List | Barbarian | Druid | Necromancer | Rogue | Sorceress |
| Early Game Progression (Level 1-50) | D – Takes time to build damage | B – Slow start, speeds up when companions come | A – Lots of damage and decent core skills | S – Fast class and lots of damage | S – Great in everything |
| Endgame DPS Potential | S – Extra Weapon slot for more damage | A – Tanky class and great power combo | C – Small sacrifice bonuses, DPS falls overtime | B – Squishy class for bosses and groups but with high damage | B – x2 enchantment slots |
| Creating Build To Play | B – A lot of situational tools | S – You can make combos with shapeshifting and switching elements | C – Not a lot of skills when you are without minions or corpses | A – Not a lot of core skills but a lot of supporting skills | S – Make a lot of combos with enchantment slots |
| Easy To Play | B – All fights are melee. | A – Class that can survive a lot and deal damage | S – Simple class to play, just summon corpses | D – Requires positioning and timing | C – Requires timing and making a correct skill rotation |
| Speed/Movement | A – Gains speed with shout, leap and passives | C – Depends on your build | F – No real mobility skill, this is a slow class | S – A lot of movement, dash, and blinks | S – Teleport is the best skill to move around and through walls |
| Fun To Play | A – Gear up and melt everything | A – Become tanky and pull everyone | C – Get as much corpses as possible to fight for you | S – Single target bosses and deal insane damage, you are also fast | A – Spam different spells and make great combos |
| Good In Groups | S – Great for damaging and tanking | S – Great for tanking and supporting | B – Great for damaging and holding waves of mobs | A – Great for boss fights and removing threat | A – A lot of crowd control |

And there you have it, as you can see, all classes are good but in different situations. All that you need to do is figure out exactly which one will suit you and stick to it until you’ve fully learned what each skill does and how you can combo it with different ones.
We hope this guide helped you figure out the Launch tier list for Diablo 4.
