- Necromancer: Strong early game leveling, slow movement speed, but powerful end game builds.
- Rogue: Balanced and fast class, great mobility and clear speed, but lacks raw tankiness.
Barbarian: Limited Options and Gear Reliance
The Barbarian class in Diablo 4 is in need of a facelift with new mechanics or updates to their shouts. The class has limited options for content and is heavily reliant on gear, making it challenging to equip compared to other classes. The leveling experience for Barbarians is also the worst among all classes. However, once geared and focused on specific content, Barbarians excel and are very strong.
Sorcerers: Uncertain End Game Potential
Sorcerers have had issues with their end game experience in previous seasons but have received improvements and changes in Season 2. With the new resistance system and potential new vampire powers, Sorcerers are looking for more variety and options in proper end game builds. However, they are incredible for leveling and pace in the mid-game. The incoming damage is not a threat, allowing for easy mob clearing and consistent progress.
Druid: Early Struggles, Mid-game Dominance, and Late-game Brilliance
Druids have fantastic potential in the mid and late game, but struggle heavily in the early game. They require farming for vital aspects and uniques to create functioning builds, but with the introduction of target farming, these issues should be relieved to some extent. Once past the early leveling phase, Druids excel in pace and clear speed in the open world content and lower nightmare dungeons. In the late game, Druids dominate with various build options, offering tankiness, burst damage, and high survivability.
Necromancer: Strong Early Game Leveling and Powerful End Game Builds
Despite the nerf to the popular bone spear build, Necromancers remain strong contenders in Season 2. They have one of the strongest early game leveling builds with blood surge, requiring minimal gear. However, the class suffers from slow movement speed, making it the slowest among all classes. In terms of pace, Necromancers perform well in open world content and lower nightmare dungeons. In the end game, Necromancers have multiple builds to consider, with blood builds transitioning to bloodlands and minion builds becoming tankier. The shadow builds, including shadow mist and sever or corpse explosion, also offer high damage potential. Overall, Necromancers excel in the end game but lack mobility.
Rogue: The Balanced and Fast Class
Rogue takes the top spot as the best class in Season 2. They are balanced, fast, and have top-tier builds across the board. Rogue leveling is strong, with early access to powerful specs and great mobility. In the mid game, Rogue excels in pace, mob clearing, and single target damage. The class lacks raw tankiness but makes up for it with damage avoidance. Twisting blades builds have been proven to be effective in the end game, and with the introduction of vampire powers, Rogue’s end game potential will likely remain strong.
