The Sorceress uses Fire, Lightning and Ice magic, but is physically weak.Barbarian characters can use the Arsenal system to shift between different weapons, allowing them to adapt to different situations. The Barbarian is all about smashing and slashing with heavy weapons.Players earn Skill points to purchase Skills in the upper section of the skill tree, while earning Passive Points to spend on the Passives in the lower section of the tree. The Diablo 4 Skill System is divided into Skills and Passives.Here's what we know about classes in Diablo 4 so far. Five classes are being talked about right now, as according to Blizzard, there will be five classes at launch, though could come at a later date. (Image credit: Blizzard Entertainment)Ĭlasses in Diablo 4 have received several significant improvements. Blizzard is still fine-tuning different mechanics and elements, including endgame progression.There will also be special endgame dungeons. Dungeons are returning, with differing interiors and exteriors, randomized layouts, special objectives, and more.Certain areas are campaign-specific, so you'll only be able to interact with other players in these areas after finishing the relevant missions.If you decide to play in a party, campaign progress is synced to the party leader. The game is always online however, you can play by yourself if you choose.Trading and Clans are both included, though there aren't many details right now.There are PvP areas, where players can fight one another.For example, Ashava's arm blades are shattered, limiting the range of her whirlwind attack. Staggering the boss will hinder them in some way. When you use a crowd-control ability on a World Boss, it builds a stagger meter.Different challenging World Bosses can be found, each of which requires multiple players to defeat.Each region is meant to feel extremely distinct, with its own culture, inhabitants, and unique foes not found elsewhere.Beast-like Goatmen, savage werewolves and a new enemy faction, the Drowned, are just some of the horrors lurking in the world.The game world is being designed as a "return to darkness".The world is far bigger than any past Diablo games and the overworld is all connected.Five regions have been shown so far: Scosglen, Fractured Peaks, Dry Steppes, Hawezar, and Kejhistan.(You can click on one of the images above to enlarge it). Here's what we know about the world of the game specifically. Rod Fergusson, formerly Studio Head of The Coalition, is now the head of the Diablo franchise and will no doubt bring his own touch to Diablo 4. The reveal cinematic and the first gameplay trailer further emphasized this harsh, oppressive tone.īlizzard Entertainment has also released some concept art for the game. Bleak tones and Gothic architecture dominate the visuals. The art style and mood are grittier, meant to evoke the harshness of the world, like in Diablo II.

Veteran fans of the series will notice that Diablo 4 is taking a much darker tone all around.
