Diablo 4 is one of the most anticipated games of the year, and with its release just around the corner, players are eager to know which class will be the strongest in the game. In this blog, we will be discussing the Diablo 4 Tier List by wudijo, a well-known Diablo player and content creator. You can check out the complete video below, but we have summarized it for you
Wudijo’s Tier List is divided into four categories: Endgame Potential, Fun Factor, Group Utility, and Hardcore Viability. He has ranked each class based on their performance in these categories.
#2 Barb | #1 Druid | #5 Necro | #3 Rogue | #4 Sorc | |||
Early Game Progression | D | B | A | S | A | RankingS – great A B C D F – terrible | |
(1-50 leveling without twink gear) | Slow start, always melee, crawling his way up. Ancients carry boss fights | Slow until companions come in to carry you | Skellies + decent core skills + free damage with Corpse Explosion | Great mobility and damage, defense not important in early game | Allround solid | ||
Endgame Potential | S | S | C | B | B | ||
(optimized towards the high end) | Lots of raw stats + legendary aspects from extra weapon slots | Very tanky + insane legendary power combos | Skellies fall off over time + Sacrifice bonuses are small | Can end up squishy but with high damage | 2x Enchantment slots + build synergies unlocking later | ||
Build Diversity | B | S | C | A | S | ||
Locked into a few core skills but fun situational tools | Lots of combos with/without shapeshifting and between elements | Too few skills to experiment with when leaving out minions or corpses | Low variety of core skills but large variety in supporting skills | Enchantment slots will create insane combos | |||
Ease to play | B | A | S | D | C | ||
(How difficult building and handling the char is going to be overall) | Always melee, some builds require timing or buff stacking | Most tools are straightforward to use + quite tanky class | Simple to play overall. Spam Core or Corpse skills | Positioning, defense & timing requirements lead to a high skill ceiling | Requires timing + combining all available tools properly | ||
Mobility/Speed | A | C | F | S | A | ||
Picks up speed with passives, shouts, leap, etc | Very build dependant, generally slow until later, Trample long CD | The only “mobility” skill, Blood Mist, actually slows you down, only Darkness gets a bonus | Tons of movement speed + Dash + Shadow Step | Teleport is great, especially lategame with more cooldown & skill ranks | |||
Fun | B | A | C | S | A | ||
Source: Trust me bro (This is very subjective) | Straightforward to play, fun to chunk monsters | Lots of room for experimentation & combos | Slow and very rigid build choices | Fast, impactful, lots of tricks up their sleeve, high skill ceiling | Cool animations & combos | ||
Group Utility | S | S | C | B | B | ||
(Mostly from a support/buff perspective, not DPS) | Shouts OP, pulling, tanking | Blood Howl buffs, shared Cyclone Armor, Debilitating Roar, CC, Vuln., tanky boi | Decrepify stronk, ez vulnerable, that’s mostly it | Poison dmg red., pulling with Death Trap, tons of CC, Vuln. | Freeze, Stun, Vuln. | ||
Hardcore | A | S | C | C | S | ||
Fortify, tons of defensive tools | Fortify, tons of defensive tools | Has Fortify but no mobility at all is scary | Don’t get hit | Flame Shield cheat death + most builds are ranged | |||
PvP | Who knows lol |
Endgame Potential:
According to Wudijo, Druids are the strongest class in terms of endgame potential. They have a lot of build diversity and can be played in various ways. The second-best class is the Sorceress, closely followed by the Barbarian. The Rogue and Necromancer are ranked lower in this category, with the Necromancer being the weakest of them all.
Fun Factor:
Wudijo’s personal favorite class is the Rogue, and he considers it to be the most fun to play. The Druid and Sorceress are ranked second and third, respectively, while the Necromancer is the least fun class to play due to its lack of mobility and speed.
Group Utility:
In this category, Wudijo has ranked the classes based on their support abilities. The Druid and Barbarian are the top choices for a support role due to their insane utility in buffing the party and debuffing enemies. The Rogue and Sorceress provide some CC and vulnerable uptime, while the Necromancer has limited utility with just vulnerable and decrepify.
Hardcore Viability:
In terms of Hardcore viability, the Socks Flame Shield Enchant OP is the strongest class, followed by the Druid. The Barbarian is also a good choice for Hardcore, but the Rogue and Necromancer are ranked lower due to their lack of defenses.
Wudijo’s Tier List is just his personal opinion, and players should keep in mind that their experience may differ from his. However, it provides a good starting point for players who are unsure about which class to choose.
It is important to note that the game is not out yet, and the Tier List is subject to change based on the gameplay experience and updates from the developers. Players should keep an open mind and experiment with different classes to find the one that suits their playstyle.
In conclusion, the Diablo 4 Tier List by wudijo provides a good overview of the classes and their strengths and weaknesses. It is a useful resource for players who are looking to choose a class for their playthrough. However, players should keep in mind that the game is not out yet, and the Tier List is subject to change.
