1. Overview of the Classes
Diablo 4 Season 2 boasts five distinct classes:
- Barbarian
- Rogue
- Sorcerer
- Necromancer
- Druid
Each class comes with its strengths, weaknesses, buffs, crowd-controlling abilities, mobility options, and magic weapons. In the endgame, the Paragon Glyphs play a pivotal role, especially in the Nightmare Dungeons.
2. Best Class for Beginners
For those new to Diablo 4 Season 2, the Necromancer stands out. Its ability to summon minions means that even if you fumble with your attacks, your minions continue to dish out damage. However, balancing the Essence resource and the Corpse mechanic might pose a challenge.
3. Class Tier List for Leveling Up

- S-Tier: Druid
- A-Tier: Necromancer, Barbarian
- B-Tier: Rogue, Sorcerer
Remember, all classes have strong builds viable for the game. But, Blizzard’s updates might influence this tier list.
