Players have different favorite class builds in Diablo IV, depending on their play style and preferences3.
Classes and playstyles that Diablo IV players enjoy:
The Barbarian is a melee specialist with high damage potential3. Utilizing the Hammer of the Ancients to crush enemies is a popular build, providing survivability with skills like Iron Skin and Tactical Iron Skin3. The Barbarian has an Arsenal System, allowing them to equip four weapons and use the required weapon for each Fury skill automatically3.
The Druid can shapeshift into a werebear or werewolf and is a master of the elements3. A popular build focuses on the Landslide skill, which uses pillars to crush enemies, combined with the werebear form for increased speed and strength3.
The Necromancer is considered the best class overall due to its frontline action abilities and area-of-effect damage potential3. Minion builds are potent in all game stages, and builds using Bone Spear and Blood Mist are also strong4. A summon/Blood Surge build can also be fun1.
The Rogue is highly adaptable, with both ranged and melee combo skills3. Melee Rogues using Twisting Blades or Flurry are a favorite27. Rogues can be built as skirmishers wielding both melee and ranged weapons4.
Though leveling can be rough, Sorcerers have super fun builds late game1. A popular build in Season 3 is Blizzard + icy spikes2.
The Spiritborn, introduced in the Vessel of Hatred DLC, is a versatile class with four distinct playstyles via Spirit Guardians3. These guardians include the Gorilla for tanking, the Centipede for poisoning, the Eagle for mobility, and the Jaguar for fiery combat3. A hybrid build combining the Gorilla and Jaguar provides both durability and damage output3.
