Diablo 4: All Classes [Pros, Cons & Skills]

Diablo 4 has been released, and with full access, players are able to test out Diablo 4 Classes. There are 5 classes ranging from Rogue, Barbarian, Druid, Sorceress, and Necromancer. Players might need assistance with figuring out the skills, mechanics, and gameplay for each class, as it can get quite daunting!

Diablo 4 Classes

I have compiled all the classes and their respective skills in the table below:

Rogue 

I’ve also listed the Stats and Skills you can anticipate when starting as a Rogue Class:

Kicking things off, is a fast striker that is extremely agile, and they can combine together the power of melee attacks as well as ranged attacks to decimate enemies.

Here’s an overview of the rogue class that I’ve condensed into a few key points:

• Rogues can lay down, due to which opponents can get poisoned, as well as get the slow debuff.
• Rogues can also become, due to which they can keep at a safe distance and strike down opponents.
• Rogues can also imbue any of their wielded weapons with three energies ranging from poison, cold, or shadow.

Advantages And Disadvantages 

Additionally, I have included some of the pros and cons of playing as a rogue, as nothing comes without strings:

Special Traits 

As far as the special traits of the Rogue Class are concerned, rogues can take into hand two one-handed weapons and a ranged weapon simultaneously. You can swap out the weapons as you please. 

Class Specialisation

Whenever you reach level 15 for rogue, you gain access to the class specialization for Rogues, which includes:

• Combo Points: With combo points, players can gain combo points whenever they use their basic skills, granting players extra effects. 
• Inner Sight: With Inner Sight, players can fill an inner sight gauge anytime they carry out attacks against marked opponents. 
• Preparation. 

Skills 

As far as skills are concerned, there are a total of 6 skill trees that you can use, such as the basics, cores, weapon imbue skills, agility, subterfuge, and ultimate skills. 

I’ve organized tables below that contain all the skill trees and their respective descriptions:

Basic 

The basic skills are listed below. 

Core 

Moving on to the core skills; 

Agility 

The agility skills for the Rogue Class can be seen as follows. 

Subterfuge 

With that, we also have the Subterfuge skills shown below. 

Imbuement 

For Imbuement skills, 3 skills are listed below. 

Ultimate 

Last but not least, the ultimate skills are as follows. 

Necromancer 

Moving on to the Necromancer class, here is the list of Stats and Skills you can expect when starting this Class:

The next class is Necromancers, who are essentially custodians of life and death. They are a spell-casting class that combines death aims to decimate opponents. They make use of essence as well as Corpses. 

Below, I’ve summarized the Necromancer class into a few key points for your reference:

• Necromancers can use their undead armies, such as skeletal mages, golems, and skeletal warriors, to bring out the worst in you and defeat enemies. 
• Bone magic is used to destroy the opponent absolutely. 
• Darkness and Blood magic further make Necromancer all the stronger. 

Class Specialisation 

Regarding class specialization, Necromancers use the Book Of The Dead, which allows you to customize to summonses like Skeletal Warriors, Golems, and Skeletal mages. Some use cases that I found useful are:

• For example, skeletal warriors can be skirmishers, defenders, and reapers. 
• Mages can shift between shadow, bone, and cold. 
• With golems, players can choose between iron, bone, and blood. Bone taunts enemies, blood sucks out life from opponents, and Iron stuns opponents.

Advantages And Disadvantages 

As far as the pros and cons of the Necromancer are concerned, here’s what you can expect: 

Skills 

When it comes to skills, there is a lot of confusion about the different skills that are available. For your ease, I have tabulated all the skills and their respective description to choose from:  

Sorceress 

Transitioning to the Sorceress class, here’s a rundown of the Stats and Skills you’ll encounter when beginning this Class:

Let’s take a look at the Sorceress class, which is a class that is essentially able to use torrents of flames and other elements. The Sorceress class is able to take on the role of being a spellcaster with which they can use elemental magic to murder opponents. 

Here’s a quick rundown of what this class is capable of:

• The sorcerer can use Frost to cause enemies to become chilled and slow them down. 
• They can also use pyromancy in order to unleash fire damage, while shock can be used to carry out lightning damage. 

Advantages And Disadvantages 

Like every other class, the Sorceress also has its own pros and cons that I have listed below: 

Enchantment System 

Moving on, let’s take a look at the enchantment system, with which you are able to take the skills and place them into two locations, both an enchantment slot and a skill slot. 

Personally, these uses of the Enchantment System proved beneficial in my playthrough and could benefit your run as well:

• You are able to gain passive effects from these enchantments, and you need to have skill points to use them. 
• You can’t really use ultimate skills for these slots. 
• Any skill that has been upgraded will end up being the cause of the passive being impacted, too. 
• The enchantment slot effects impact Basic, Core, Defensive, Conjuration, and mastery skills. 

Skills 

Regarding skills, a Sorceress encompasses basic, core, defensive, conjuration, mastery, and ultimate skills, which I’ve compiled in a table below for your convenience:

Basic 

For basic skills, players can use Frost bolt, fire bolt, arc lash as well as spark. 

Core 

As for the core skills, they range from the frozen orb, Fireball, Ice Shards, Incinerate, Charged Bolts, as well as Chain Lightning. 

Defensive 

With defensive skills, they range from the flame shield, Ice Armor, Teleport as well as Frost Nova. 

Conjuration

Ultimate 

Lastly, the ultimate skills include unstable currents, deep freeze, and inferno. 

Druid 

Progressing to the Druid class, here’s the breakdown of Stats and Skills you’ll have at the start of this Class:

The next set of Diablo 4 Classes that I would like to cover is the Druid, which is essentially a shapeshifter class and is able to switch forms between a werewolf and a bear. Alongside that, it is also able to use the power of nature to cause death unto enemies. 

Here’s an overview of the Druid class that I would like to share:

• Druids can turn into a werewolf, with which they can be agile and move fast, while the werebear can allow them to become extremely powerful. 

Advantages And Disadvantages 

As far as pros and cons are concerned, based on what I experienced, Druids have more pros than cons;

Class Mechanics 

Moving on, let’s look at the class mechanics that Druids offer. You can form different bonds with spirit animals, and whenever you reach level 15, you can interact with 4 spirit animals.

Here are some of the advantages of bonding with the spirit animal that I found insightful: 

• The spirit animals allow Druids to gain boons, which unlock bonuses for you. 
• When all four animals are unlocked, you can either bond with a fifth animal or you can choose to gain two bonuses from one spirit animal of their choosing and another bonus from all four animals. 

Skills 

The next thing I would like to discuss is the skills such as basic, spirit, defensive, wrath, companion, and ultimate skills;

Companion 

There are 3 companion skills ranging from Ravens, Wolves, and Vine Creepers. 

Ultimate 

Lastly, the ultimate skills include Grizzly Rage, Petrify, and Cataclysm. 

Barbarian 

Turning to the Barbarian class, I have provided an overview of the Stats and Skills you can expect upon starting this Class:

Last but not least, the final of the classes is the Barbarian, which is essentially one of the strongest classes, with immense damage output, aggression, and defense. 

• Players are able to go into a berserk state, which allows them to gain enhanced damage and movement speed, and they can also allow them to cause enemies to bleed. 

Advantages And Disadvantages 

When it comes to pros and cons, I bear witness to the following while playing as a barbarian in Diablo 4:

Class Mechanic 

With that out of the way, the main class mechanic of a Barbarian is known as the Arsenal System, with which players are able to use four different weapons, ranging from a two-handed bludgeoning weapon, a main hand, off-hand weapon as well as a two-handed slashing weapon.

Lastly, in line with other classes, I’ve compiled a detailed overview of barbarian skills as follows:
