Each of these has a different flavor to them. The melee-focused classes in Diablo 3 are Barbarian, Crusader, and Monk. It should be Barbarian, mind you.īut if you want to consider every available options, here’s a rundown of the classes available in Diablo 3. Ultimately, this means you really can just play whatever you like. Just remember that the powerful bonuses from the weapons do not stack with Kanai’s Cube powers or other gear, so you won’t get to double dip for even more power - but having the right Ethereal weapon will let you change your Cube powers and gear loadout accordingly, making unique power combinations. There are remarkably few mechanical changes this time around, and as a result, it really comes down to finding the best Ethereal Weapon for your playstyle. It all comes down to what you enjoy the most, because the Season isn’t going to make any particular playstyle better or worse than any other. In fact, a lot of the fun of this Season will be in discovering the new Ethereal items and enjoying their powers and abilites. If you really enjoy Necromancers or Witch Doctors or Crusaders? Season 24 will have an Ethereal Weapon that will work for you and allow you to do well. If you insist on being wrong and playing some other class? The game won’t punish you for being wrong. Honestly, there’s nothing in Season 24 that really requires you to play as any specific class in order to do well. Each class will get three Ethereal weapons, with each weapon having a unique Legendary power and a unique passive class skill, so there should be something for you to find and enjoy while playing your character to 70 this Season.Īnd because it’s such a weapon focused Season, I can unabashedly say without hesitation that you should play a Barbarian in Season 24.īarbarians are the best class and they have always been the best class These weapons will only be available for Seasonal play and only during Season 24 - as soon as the Season ends, these weapons will be gone along with it. This Season marks the return the Ethereal Weapons from Diablo 2 to a whole new game as a Season theme, will add new, unique, class specific powers and abilities in the form of weapons unlike anything seen in the game up to this point.
So with Diablo 3’s Season 24 arriving on July 23, we must again ask ourselves the question of what class you, the player at home, should play as this Season unfolds. To everything, turn turn turn, there is a Season, turn turn turn, and a use for every class on Sancturary.
