He utilizes his density quite well in the trailer, swinging a massive club around and shoulder-charging his foes. The Druid in Diablo 4 is a hulking creature, almost like a somewhat taller dwarf of fantasy. But but I do remember the Druid wasn’t this… beefy. I admit, I never played much of the Druid class back in Diablo II. The Sorcerer will likely be tough to play, but if the class sticks to tradition, it will be one of the most powerful in late-game Diablo IV. It looks weak in the video, but I have a feeling it can grow into something more devastating down the line. The Sorcerer will also have a spell that sends lightning snaking across the ground. In the blink of an eye, she transforms herself into a ball of electricity, zipping around a room and turning demons into char. Later, we the sorcerer wields an even more powerful move. Icy hail storms turn enemies into frozen statues before getting blown apart by a burning rock summoned from the sky. In the trailer, we see her command the powers of the elements to freeze, shock, and burn the denizens of Hell. The Sorcerer in Diablo IV will likely run along similar lines. Generally, they start off fairly weak before turning into destructive glass cannons in the later act.
The magic wielders in Diablo games have always been the more difficult classes to play. If you’re aiming to play a murderous pile of meat come Diablo IV‘s launch, the Barbarian should be a good call. Other abilities shown later in the video look very similar to both Cleave and Battle Cry. In the video, we also see him use an ability that has him dig his weapon into the ground before hurling chunks of rock and debris toward enemies. He’s also able to use the classic Leap ability, which throws his bulk through the air, allowing to slam his heft and weaponry onto unfortunate demons. Once again, due to the Barbarian’s immense strength, he’s able to dual wield weapons with impunity. In Diablo IV, we don’t see that changing any time soon.įrom what we see in the video, our dear Barbarian goes through the predictable paces. Among the many classes that have graced the franchise, the Barbarian has always been the hard-hitting tank. Why risk stunted health or micromanaging agility moves when you can just hit stuff with a big, heavy piece of metal? The Barbarian returns in Diablo IV, sporting some familiar moves and a look that should please any curious Dragonborn. Ah, the Barbarian - every player’s bread and butter since their debut in Diablo II.
