Five classes with distinct gameplay
Diablo 4 features five classes. The Barbarian (melee combat) and Sorcerer (spell casting) are more pure in their gameplay styles, while classes like the Druid and Rogue are a hybrid of melee, ranged, and magic. The Necromancer raises and explodes the dead. Each class has a special mechanic that helps set them apart, such as the Barbarian's Arsenal System, the Sorcerer's Enchantment System, and Rogue's Imbue System.
