When I finished the game as a Druid, I did not spec a single point into shapeshifting skills. There are clear paths you can go down that offer you different options if you sacrifice your ability to summon corpses. I don’t like pet classes in ARPGs, so my Necromancer is basically a death wizard. Each class is effectively a tree, and you can dictate how it branches. When bolts of lightning, ice shards, and arrows feel as chunky when they hit as my hammer slam, you bet I’m going to be sticking around far longer with each class than I thought.īut there’s another, equally crucial reason why no class feels bad to play in Diablo 4. When picking a different class from what I’m used to, I found it illuminating to be able to experience the game in new ways and appreciate the action I crave from a different perspective. I’ve since reached level 40 with a bleed-focused Barbarian, level 40 with an Ice and shock Sorcerer, and more recently level 23 with a blood-stealing Necromancer.ĭiablo 4’s action combat simply feels satisfying to play no matter which class you choose. I finished the campaign as a Druid pre-release, and as a Rogue after it came out. Technically, I’d been playing the game for longer than most because of the review period, but the point still stands. We’re only over a week into the life of Diablo 4, and I have already played as every single class in the game. Before that, it was Barbarians, and Crusaders. It took me literally years to create a Wizard in Diablo 3, and that didn’t even come until I messed around with the Demon Hunter for a bit. I find it much easier to appreciate the nuances of a game’s combat, the reactivity of its world, the heft of animations (and ragdolls), and its general physics engine when I play as a warrior.Įven after I finish the game as that class, I’m usually more inclined to either explore new builds for the same class (or put the game down entirely). In the vast majority of the ARPGs I play, my first character is always the warrior/barbarian type: full-on aggression, in the thick of it, melee over everything else.
