The Action MMORPG “Diablo Immortal” has been released and invites players to Sanctuary – a fantasy world that nobody would actually want to live in because it is swarming with demonic hellspawn. To master this gang, choose from one of six character classes, experienced users of the series are sure to be familiar: there is a choice barbarian, monk, Demon Hunter, Necromancer, wizard, Crusader.
Which of the six in classes in “Diablo Immortal” the best is, shows this ranking.
6. Monk
Monks are challenging and act as damage dealers and supports.
At first glance, the role of the monk seems to correspond to that of the barbarian or crusader: a melee fighter who binds opposing forces. But monks play completely differently – instead of thick armor and heavy weapons, they fight with their fists in light clothing and are very mobile. Accordingly, you must remain alert at all times and move out of danger zones. If you’re into melee combat but don’t want to be a tank, this martial arts master is your best class.
Like the Crusader, you have some useful group abilities – like shields for your allies – but that comes at the cost of individual damage. If you’re more of a solo player, it makes the game harder.
5. Barbarian
Barbarians bravely charge into battle.
The barbarian is a real classic of the series and, as usual, beats down the demonic opponents with the biggest weapons. As a barbarian, you naturally have only one task: without a doubt, you will throw yourself into the spot where the fighting is fiercest. And if that’s the role you aspire to, the Barbarian is perfect. They deal a lot of area damage and help keep the masses of opponents away from the long-range fighters. However, you are missing single damage.
4. Crusader
Crusaders are coveted as tanks and supports.
The Crusader – introduced in “Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls” and the successor to the Paladin from “Diablo 2” – relies on melee weapons and holy magic. This allows him to buff himself and his allies while casting Weak Curses on foes. A lot of area damage and crowd control complete his arsenal. If you’re playing a crusader, you have to reckon with high cooldowns – you spend a lot of time using your basic attack and doing little damage. However, each group will scramble for a crusader to master difficult dungeons.
3. Wizard
Sorcerers shine with a lot of area damage.
The sorcerer draws on arcane and elemental powers to use magic to obliterate entire groups of enemies and even teleport. If you want to specialize in dealing lots of area damage, this class is perfect for you. Note that this comes with high cooldowns and mediocre damage against bosses – the caster can’t do everything. Also, magicians don’t endure very much.

To play this class effectively, you need to learn the combos and keep moving. Once you get the hang of it, the magician sweeps away any resistance with unrivaled speed.
2. Demon Hunter
Demon Hunters deal a lot of damage while staying at range.
The demon hunter has two crossbows, which he uses to rake his enemies from afar. Mobility and ranged damage are its two main characteristics. Dash and leap across the battlefield with acrobatic maneuvers while firing missiles in all directions and setting traps. However, stay away from melee combat, where the hunter cannot do much and is vulnerable. As a demon hunter, you have a clear role in any group as a damage dealer.
1. Necromancer
Necromancers are extremely flexible and easy to learn.
The Necromancer is a hybrid of sorcerer and summoner who lets the undead minions he summons do the dirty work. Veterans of the previous games will be familiar with many of the golems and skeletons he summons. The Necromancer has powerful spells, including the classic corpse explosion. The advantage of this class is the enormous flexibility, since the player can concentrate on one of the two aspects or mix them both up. This provides variety without making a class change necessary.
The Necromancer is a good fit for Diablo beginners as his minions take damage for him, giving you plenty of breathing room.
Change class in Diablo Immortal?
With the release of Diablo Immortal, you will not be able to change your class once you have chosen it. However, according to Blizzard, such a feature is planned for shortly after the release. So rest assured that your choice at the start of the game doesn’t have to be permanent.
