Play a Druid if you want to call an unkindness of ravens to swarm an area, run into battle accompanied by fearsome wolves, transform into a half-bear giant to maul groups of foes, or call down lightning and hurl exploding boulders into the fray. If you think of the Barbarian as embodying raw fury, the Druid literally channels all of nature’s outrage. Druids can summon companion animals to fight alongside them, unleash the power of storm and rock do wreck havoc from afar, or transforming their very bodies into bestial forms to lash out against their enemies. Masters of natural power, Druids have a lot of options when it comes to their chosen task, with more flexibility than any of the other classes (so far). Sanctuary’s Druids aren’t (necessarily) peacekeepers: they’re happy to bring pain pain to those that would destroy Sanctuary and its wild places. Class type: Hybrid (magical DPS, physical melee DPS, pets).The Druid: Protecting nature at all costs Using a big hammer or mace to shatter the ground around them, switching to a pair of fast axes to carve up anything close, then finally bringing out the giant claymore to impale an enemy and rip it in half, Barbarians are the brutal up close melee fighters of this game. In the game’s story, Barbarians were long set apart as the guardians of Mount Arreat and the Worldstone before the coming of Baal destroyed their way of life, and that destruction has left them a rootless people but even more in touch with that primal anger. Barbarians are all about raw power, tapping into the rage and aggression of their bloodline. They use their Fury resource to generate the power for explosive attacks that can damage multiple foes at once and wield an arsenal of weapons to rain destruction on the battlefield. The Barbarian: A warrior powered by raw fury These are all of the classes that will be in Diablo 4. While that doesn’t necessarily mean all of the game’s classes will have a close tie to old lore, the game’s focus on Sanctuary’s origins with the return of Lilith means we may see more Ancients - and the classes that followed them.īut before we start speculating, let’s run down the classes we do know about and what each can do. Each went their own way, and most serve as archetypes for specific classes. So far, each class hearkens back to the game’s earliest lore with a tie to the long-vanished Ancients, who were the original Nephalem. Though the game will have five classes on launch and we don’t yet know the final class, we know enough about these four talk to a degree about the four classes that have been announced so far. Then, at BlizzConline we found out about the return of the Rogue, last seen in the original Diablo game and making its return in Diablo 4. Before this year’s BlizzConline, we knew of three playable classes in Diablo 4: Sorceress, Druid, and Barbarian.
