Diablo 4 players have already decided on their Season 1 starting class

The arrival of Diablo 4 Season 1 is approaching faster than Lilith’s galloping demon hordes and the community has seemingly already decided on what their starting class is going to be.

Even though a significant portion of the fan base started the game off as a Sorcerer at launch, numerous players are now planning to avoid the one-dimensional spell-caster like the plague after it was dubbed by many as the worst class ahead of the opening season. So with the Diablo 4 Season 1 start date nearly here, gamers have already spent the better part of the game’s early days experimenting with the other Diablo 4 character classes available.

Based on many of the comments under a particular Reddit post, it appears fans have finally settled on kicking Season 1 off as either one of two classes: the Rogue or the Druid. According to EquivalentPlenty2078, they’re apparently going to go for either a “full Werebear Trampleslide [build] with Pulverize aspects” or a “flurry/penshot Rogue [build]” since both have “very satisfying room clearing [potential].

However, since the Rogue doesn’t exactly rely on Unique aspects as much as the Druid does during the late game, it seems that more fans are leaning towards playing as the former. Conversely, a responder named OldMansLiver is apparently set to go a completely different route as they’re planning on running a Necro minion build. “Me, a giant [Golem], [five] reapers, and [five] cold mages owning dungeons and being bros. Easy to play right up until the level 70s, then the limitations kick in,” they remarked.

Other commenters, like He_Beard, also said that they were big fans of the classic Barb WW (Whirlwind) build, but they did note that it’s “probably less exciting” than the other alternatives. Alas, UnfitforReality‘s reaction, which simply said: “I haven’t played all 5 and have only played sorc. But don’t play sorc. Sorc sucks,” is further evidence that the spell-caster is set to be the least played class during the first season.
