Players are able to choose from:
It’s worth noting thatnone of the classes in Diablo 4 are gender locked, so players will be able to fully customize their character.
All Diablo 4 Classes
Entering the Diablo games in the unofficial Hellfire expansion to Diablo 1, the tanky Barbarian returns for Diablo 4. Perfect for those with an aggressive playstyle, the Barbarian is a master of double-handed weapons.
If you’re the sort of player who likes to run into combat and bash everything in sight, then the Barbarian is perfect for you. With access to plenty of AoE ground-shaking attacks, hordes of enemies will stand no chance against the raw strength of a Barbarian.

Combining their fearsome tools with ability-enhancing war cries and buffs, they’ll be on the front lines of the fight against Lilith.
Making their first reappearance since the Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction expansion, the Druid returns with their menagerie of animal companions.
Alongside fighting with beasts, the Druid can transform themselves into a viscous werewolf or a towering wearbear, making short work of any foes in their path. So if you’re feeling some cool and ferocious shape-shifting action, the Druid will be your jam.
With a design that allows you to focus on summoning creatures or wielding elemental skills, the Druid is the happy medium between ranged aggressive play and front-line fighting.
Necromancer
Cunning summoners capable of wielding the power of death magic, Necromancers can conjure hordes of undead to wreak havoc upon their victims.
Their Essence flows into three powerful bastions of Bone, Blood, or Shadow that all play a key role in a Necromancer’s extremely deadly arsenal. The Necro can mix it up in close-quarters combat, but it’s often more fun to play a supporting role while your minions cut down your enemies while you sit back and cast curses. If this sounds like your idea of a good time, then select the Necromancer.
This class certainly isn’t for the faint of heart, but anyone looking to wield dark forbidden power should definitely consider creating one. However, by picking a fight with life, the Prime Evils have also made an enemy of death – and death has allied with humanity to take down the forces of Hell.
While the Rogue hasn’t been seen in-game since the original Diablo, their playstyle is similar to that of Diablo 2’s Assassin and Amazon classes or Diablo 3’s Demon Hunter. The Rogue is for those who favor dexterity over brute force and magic.
Utilizing the bow as their primary weapon, alongside a collection of deadly knives and trap equipment, the Rogue is an agile warrior. That’s perfect for dealing huge amounts of damage from afar and being able to get out without a scratch.
Back to sling spells and take names, the Sorcerer returns in Diablo 4 after taking a back seat to the very similar Wizard in Diablo 3. Both classes are from different schools of magic but the playstyle remains the same. This is the classic caster build, using elemental spells to zap, scorch, and freeze enemies into oblivion.
A glass cannon that struggles with close-quarter combat, the Sorcerer thrives when dishing out damage from a distance. If blasting your enemies with powerful spells before they can get near you is your preferred playstyle, then the Sorcerer will be ideal.
Spiritborn
Added to Diablo 4 as part of theVessel of Hatredexpansion, the Spiritborn hails from the jungles of Kurast, much like the Witch Doctors do. The class is a unique blend of the Witch Doctor and the Monk, however, they make use of spirit magic rather than voodoo.
Channeling the energy from various spirit animals, the Spiritborn take on their personas and use these skills in battle against Diablo’s minions. In Vessel of Hatred, these warriors are preparing to repel Mephisto’s attack on their land, learning from his earlier attack in Diablo 2.
Classes missing from Diablo 4
As shown above, Diablo 4 is launching with five classes in total. That said, there are plenty of others that Blizzard could add in the future through DLC. Throughout Diablo’s previous titles, there have been nine other classes that are missing from Diablo 4 and longtime fans will be hoping some will be arriving in the not-too-distant future.
You can check out the full list of missing classes below:
While the Wizard class is unlikely to appear as they are interchangeable with the Sorcerer, others might. However, we expect that the Amazon, Assassin, and Demon Hunter classes could be incorporated into the Rogue class in Diablo 4, rather than return as individual classes.
The same could also be said of the Warrior class and the returning Barbarian. This means that either the Paladin or Crusader could return after the Spiritborn class.
Perhaps Diablo 4’s second DLC could introduce another new character, or maybe even theTempestorBlood Knightfrom Diablo Immortal.
