Diablo 3: The best classes at a glance

There are many classes in Diablo 3 and it can be difficult to choose one. We provide guidance and show the best.

Best classes in Diablo 3: The witch doctor

The witch doctor, like the magician, is a "glass cannon" - they take a lot of damage, but they also deal out properly. However, with a witch doctor you will survive much longer than a magician through your life-pulling spells. However, especially at the beginning, it can be difficult if you play alone and are on your own.

• The main attribute of a witch doctor is intelligence.
• While there are no great ways to escape from battles other than the ghost step, as a witch doctor you are less likely to die if you know your skills.
• As a witch doctor, you can inflict damage on enemies with damage over time and choose from a large number of wonderfully funny spells the one that suits you best.
• If you want to have something to laugh about in Diablo 3, witch doctors are ideal for this. For example, you could have snakes shot out of your blowgun that stun the enemy. Or change a spell with a rune to a deadly toad rain.
• The witch doctor can do a lot of damage with the appropriate skills and the right equipment. All you have to do is find the style of play that works best for you.

The warrior in Diablo 3: the barbarian

The barbarian is a mixture of warrior and tank. He can deal a lot of damage, but can also take a lot, depending on the skill and distribution of the Paragon points. Overall, he has greater damage potential than the Crusader, which is particularly favored by various set bonuses.

• As a barbarian, your main attributes are strength and vitality, whereby you get more from the former per level.
• You are most effective in close combat with a barbarian. There are some skills that take place in ranged combat, but these are usually not particularly strong. However, if you have a set bonus that, for example, gives all of your runes to your whirlwinds, you can do devastating damage even in ranged combat.
• A barbarian can be particularly useful for a beginner group because it can act like an off-tank. If you want to take even more damage, it's best to choose the crusader.

The Demon Hunter - Dodge in Diablo 3

The Diablo 3 demon hunters are devastating companions. You can deal a lot of damage as a demon hunter, but you can't endure much.

• Your main attribute is skill.
• To escape from tricky situations, you can use one of your many skills or trap your opponent.
• With different item sets and skills, you can also play the demon hunter in very different ways. Similar to the witch doctor, you also have companions, for example, who can all be called onto the field at the same time with a corresponding set and can do damage. This is particularly useful when you want to have a buffer between you and your opponents.
