Two most popular classes, Necromancer and Sorcerer dominate Diablo IV Beta
During Diablo IV’s open beta, players had the chance to test out five different classes: Sorcerer, Barbarian, Rogue, Druid, and Necromancer. Blizzard recently revealed that Necromancer and Sorcerer were the two most-played classes during the beta, showcasing their popularity among players.
While the Sorcerer was available during the early access beta, the Necromancer was only available during the open beta weekend. Despite this, the Necromancer still managed to become the most played class, which speaks to the appeal of its gameplay mechanics. The Necromancer’s abilities revolve around raising the dead, with players able to summon skeletons from corpse piles, explode dead bodies to deal damage, and heal their undead allies during combat. Additionally, the class comes with passive buffs that increase attack speed with every kill and increase the max skill gauge. The Sorcerer, on the other hand, focuses on dealing elemental damage and crowd control. With access to spells like Arc Lightning, Chain Lightning, and Blizzard, the Sorcerer can quickly eliminate mobs of enemies while keeping them at bay with freeze and stun effects.
The two most-played classes during Diablo IV’s beta offer vastly different playstyles, giving players a diverse range of options to choose from when the game launches. It will be interesting to see how these classes perform in the full release and whether other classes can catch up in terms of popularity.
