Depending on the class, you can also center your entire build around a single skill, as with Zeal Paladins or Blessed Hammer Paladins, who are also known in the community as Hammerdins. Druids can be shapeshifters or rely on elemental attacks. Assassins can focus on traps they summon or martial arts skills. With the aforementioned Necromancer, you might focus entirely on summoning an army of minions, or you might opt for a build that invests points in poison/bone spells, letting you deal damage more directly. That wide range of possibilities means each class can function quite differently depending on your choices. Make a plan with your class and stick to it The limited amount of information on the character creation screen doesn't allude to this, but there are numerous class builds and radically different ways of playing as any a given class. On the other hand, Paladins can take more of a hit and can heal without potions, while Necromancers can summon an army of minions who will not only dish out damage, but more importantly, distract and absorb enemy attacks, helping to keep you alive.įrom a pure entertainment perspective, this is an entirely subjective choice, though there's a reason Barbarian was the one returning character in Diablo 3 at launch-Blizzard thought there was real room for improvement with that one. Some classes are better-suited for newcomers than others Sorceress is heavily dependent on spellcasting and mana, as you'd imagine, and is relatively frail, making it a more challenging character to play solo at the start (although her teleport ability is a real life-saver once you get it). (You can, thankfully, make use of the new shared loot box to move items between characters-no more starting a session, dropping everything you own in town, exiting, and then returning with another character to move items.) While you can always roll additional new characters, there's no swapping classes once you make your choice, so any time you sink into a character will be for naught if you decide you'd actually rather play something else. Aside from a brief description, you're left to make your choice largely based on the look of each class. Your first decision upon starting is choosing a class, and unfortunately, the game does about as little as possible to explain what it's like to play as any of them.
