Diablo Immortal: The Best PvP Classes Ranked

1. Wizard - PvP Disintegrate Ice Crystal Wizard

​​​​

While Wizards aren't the most powerful PvP class in the game for getting kills in battlegrounds, Wizards are well known for their excellent crowd control abilities. Scorch CC is a powerful build for players with low resonance and Disintegrate Ice Crystal Wizards and Arcane Wind Primary Wizards are better at higher resonance levels. The Arcane Wind skill can slow opponents to a stand still especially when they're frozen inside your Arcane Wind. Wizards often win battlegrounds for their team by simply using their strong crowd control abilities to limit the mobility and damage of their opponents. If you prefer to play for damage and kills, the PvP Disintegrate Wizard and the Arcane Wind Primary Wizard are highly recommended.

Note: All of the builds found in these rankings can be found in the menu at the top of this webpage.

​

2. Crusader - PvP Sweep Attack Crusader

​​​

Crusaders are extremely powerful at higher resonance and potency levels. They can instantly consume their potentially very high damage over time effects with Condemn when using the Torrential Refrain offhand essence. Crusaders also have excellent mobility with Draw and Quarter and they can usually make quick work of lower resonance players without high resistances to counteract their potency. Not to mention they have Conjuration of Light which gives you and your nearby party members full damage immunity for a medium duration. Their Weakness? Demon Hunters, Monks, and Druids.

​

3. Demon Hunter - PvP Strafe Multishot Demon Hunter

 

The highest damage Demon Hunter build at mid to low resonance is the Strafe Multishot Demon Hunter which is a strong build for PvM and PvP. Higher resonance players also often prefer the Dash Spinning Chakram Demon Hunter build for PvP instead. Demon Hunters are a powerful PvP class because they can attack from a distance while moving which counters multiple builds. This means that Demon Hunters can deal high damage while they're out of range of most attacks. Demon Hunters moved down from first to third place due to changes in the meta which includes Warlocks being added to game.​​

 

​4. Barbarian - PvP Whirlwind Barbarian

​

Tank Barbarians are notorious in PvP for being a strong defensive class. Barbarians become a force to be reckoned with in PvP once they discover the Undying Rage skill which gives a cheat death that heals you with its damage. The Gladiator paragon gives another cheat death. They become even more powerful once they have a Savior familiar which gives another cheat death. Your equipment rolls from Reforge Stones can give another cheat death. See a pattern here? Barbarian tanks are notoriously difficult to kill because they can make use of more and better cheat deaths without even using the Phoenix Ashes gem which gives another cheat death. Barbarians have three strong PvP builds which are Demoralize, Whirlwind, and Cleave. PvP Cleave Barbarians were nerfed which lowered their Cleave skill range and PvP Demoralize Barbarians had their damage reduction nerfed. These nerfs made PvP Demoralize Barbarians about even in capability to PvP Cleave and PvP Whirlwind Barbarians and dropped Barbarians from second place to fourth place in these rankings.​​​​​

 

​​5. Warlock - PvP Spiteful Sacrifice Warlock

​​​​​

PvP Spiteful Sacrifice Warlock is the current meta PvP Warlock which fires ranged blades that deal damage and inflict Malignant Shadows for damage over time and its Sacrificial Power is a significant heal. You also have a heal from Demonic Pact and a heal from Siphon Blood and deal about the same damage as the Lash of Pain Warlock with a ranged attack. The Burning Ascent dash skill is used to dash in and out of danger with immunity to total losses of control while also giving a massive 120k health absorb shield. The PvP Burning Ascent Warlock is another strong build option for a Warlock PvP build that is competitive for this spot because it deals very high damage and has excellent mobility.

 

6. Monk - PvP Tranquil Palm Exploding Palm Monk

​​​​​

The Monk class used to be very weak in PvP battlegrounds because the Cyclone Strike Tempest Rush Monk was very susceptible to crowd control and it didn't deal as much damage as most of the other builds. The Monk class is now more competitive with the introduction of the untargetable Exploding Palm Monk which keeps the Monk from being targeted during their assaults. Exploding Palm Monks can also go invisible with Mystic Strike which makes them even more difficult to attack. Exploding Palm Monks were recently slightly nerfed which lowered the amount of time you remain untargetable but they still do excellent in PvP serving as a tank role for idols and they also deal fairly decent AoE damage.

​​​​

​7. Druid - PvP Werebear Druid

​​​​​

Druids are a fairly new class and they perform well in battlegrounds as a Werewolf, Werebear, and a human. Werebear Druids give the best tanking in the game but they were slightly nerfed and they're not as powerful as they once were. PvP Werebear Druids should be built for tanking which means defensive rolls on equipment and defensive legendary gems and normal gems. Werebear Druids are also ranked about even with Dash Werewolf Druids for PvP. Werewolf Druids fight with dashes similar to PvP Dash Tempests but Dash Werewolf Druids have significantly better damage and survivability.

 

8. Necromancer - PvP Dark Curse & Bone Spikes Necromancer

​​​

The new meta Necromancer is the PvP Dark Curse & Bone Spikes Necromancer which uses Dark Curse to damage and fear opponents while also lowering their damage. Bone Spikes is used for a mount that gives increased movement speed, damage reduction, knockback, loss of control immunity, and an absorb shield when it hits opponents. Corpse Lance is also used to deal damage to nearby enemies. The old meta Grim Scythe & Corpse Lance Necromancer and Grim Scythe & Bone Spirits Necromancer used to be popular with the whales and the Wiltbloom Golem Tank Necromancer was strong at tanking idols in battlegrounds. The Necromancer class is ranked eighth because Grim Scythe, Corpse Lance, and Wraith Form were nerfed and the Wiltbloom Golem Necromancer was completely removed from the game.

​​​​

9. Blood Knight - PvP Abomination Blood Knight

​​​​

Blood Knight is ranked ninth place for PvP because their damage is lower than most of the other PvP classes but if you're a big spender you can also be nearly unkillable with Abomination and Transfusion. The Abomination Blood Knight is another build that can benefit from defensive rolls on your equipment. The Abomination Blood Knight is the recommended PvP build for Blood Knight after changes to the meta and it has entirely replaced the old meta PvP Dash Blood Knight.

​​​​​​

​10.  Tempest - PvP Zephyr Surge & Stormfury Tempest

​

The PvP Dash Flowing Strike Tempest can get into PvP fights and deal high burst damage with their dash attacks and then get out of danger with their great mobility at low resonance. However, the new PvP Zephyr Surge Tempest should be used instead at normal resonance because it deals more damage while still being strong defensively. The PvP Zephyr Surge Tempest is ranked in last place because PvP Tempests' damage is much lower than most of the other classes and builds.

​​

End Note

​​

Diablo Immortal PvP isn't completely about how high your resonance gets or how much money you spend on the game. Sometimes the build you choose and the time you spend can make a huge difference in your damage in PvP. Low to mid resonance players can win battlegrounds even when there are multiple whales on the other team if they choose the right classes and builds. If you would like to see more builds for each class you can look at the menu at the top of this page. If you don't see a build that you really want to play you can learn from what works and tweak it to your liking. Good luck!
