So far, the Rogue and Barbarian have been absolutely dominating Diablo 4’s end-game, so I’d expected one of these to be the fan favourite. TheTwisting Blades RogueandWhirlwind Barbarian, their respective most powerful builds, both received nerfs over the early access launch weekend, but still felt viable after the balancing patch went live.

The Necromancer is another easy-contender for the top spot in our eyes. Sure, it ranks quite low on our tier list, but who doesn’t loveexploding corpses? That’s classic Diablo, right there.

The Sorcerer simply doesn’t seem to have the same meta potential, but at the end of the day, this is Diablo. Everything is meant to be able to batter demons and make them explode into lots of tiny giblets, right? That’s the point. And, to help you explode demons in the best ways possible, we have build guides for theIce Sorcerer,Fire Sorcerer, andLightning Sorcererfor you to try out (on top of build guides for every other class, too, sorry for the shameless plugs).

This interesting nugget of Diablo 4 info comes after theservers crashed last night, leaving people stuck in long queues that ultimately ended in error messages. Despite some server woes, though, Blizzard have confirmed thatDiablo 4 is their fastest selling game ever. There’s probably a correlation there, actually.
