The Best Classes To Use In Diablo 4 Season 5, Ranked

is bringing far more changes to the sandbox than expected, especially given the shorter length of Season 5. However, this is great news for players looking to get back into the game before the Vessel of Hatred expansion releases in Season 6. Blizzard has made massive changes for each class, such as substantially buffing skills and nerfing some outliers.

While this list may categorize some classes over others, that is in no way to say that any classes are not viable to play this season. However, some options may be more appealing if you are trying to reach high endgame levels. The class you choose is incredibly important, as it will influence what items and aspects you grind for throughout the season. While the community is still determining the meta, Blizzard's changes are visible to all.

Diablo 4's upcoming Season 5 will see one of the franchise's most iconic monsters reborn as a new flaming terror to challenge unsuspecting players.

However, Barbarians just saw heavy nerfs to all four of their key passives, as seen in theRob2628 video on YouTube.
