Diablo Immortal: The Best PvP Classes Ranked

1. Demon Hunter - PvP Strafe Multishot Demon Hunter

 

The highest damage Demon Hunter build at low resonance is the Strafe Multishot Demon Hunter which is a strong build for PvM and PvP. High resonance players sometime also prefer to use the Dash Spinning Chakram build for PvP instead. Demon Hunters are a powerful PvP class because they can attack from a distance while moving with Strafe which counters multiple builds. This means Demon Hunters can deal high single target damage while they're out of range of most attacks.

2. Wizard - PvP Scorch Arcane Wind 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. The Arcane Wind Wizard skill with the recommended essences can slow opponents to a stand still especially when they're frozen inside your Arcane Wind. Wizards often win battleground matches for their team by just simply using their very strong crowd control abilities to limit the mobility and damage of their opponents.

​3. Barbarian - PvP Demoralize Barbarian

​

Tanking Barbarians are notorious for being a powerful PvP class even at a low to mid resonance. Barbarians become a force to be reckoned with in PvP once they discover the Undying Rage skill which gives a cheat death that drains life from opponents. 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? Barbarians 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 competitive PvP builds which are Demoralize, Hammer of the Ancients, and Cleave. Barbarians received a new Sunder essence that can increase the attack speed of primary attacks like Demoralize, slow enemies' movement speed, draw them in, and disable their dash skills but Demoralize also received a nerf to damage reduction which dropped this build from first place to third place.

​

4. Druid - PvP Werebear Druid

​​

Druids are the newest class to the game and they can perform well in PvP as both a Werewolf and Werebear as well as a Fire Tornado caster. The damage of a Druid as a Werewolf and Werebear is, however, lower than most of the other classes in the game. The Werewolf form can fight with dashes similar to a Tempest with the recommended essences and the Werebear form gives the best tanking in the game with party buffs once optimized but it's also sometimes slow to get kills in PvP. The Fire Tornado Druid has also increased in popularity in PvP and is a popular build with high resonance players.

​

5. Crusader - PvP Condemn Aura Crusader

​

Crusaders are extremely powerful at high resonance levels. They instantly consume their potentially very high damage over time effects with Condemn when using the Torrential Refrain essence and they have multiple damage aura rings that deal high damage to nearby opponents. High resonance and potency Crusaders are extremely powerful and they usually make quick work of the lower resonance players. Not to mention Crusaders have Conjuration of Light which can give you and your nearby party members temporary full damage immunity. Their weakness? Demon Hunters, Tempests, and Wizards.

​

6. Necromancer - PvP Grim Scythe Bone Spirits Necromancer

​​

Necromancers have several strong PvP specs one being the traditional Grim Scythe Necromancer which is popular with the whales (big money spenders) and the PvP Wiltbloom Golem Tank Necromancer which is strong at tanking idols in battlegrounds. The Necromancer class is ranked lower in these PvP rankings because the Grim Scythe & Bone Spirits Necromancer and the Corpse Lance & Grim Scythe Necromancer require high potency to work well in battlegrounds after a nerf to Grim Scythe and the Golem Necromancer is slow to get kills even though it's a fairly formidable tank build.

​

​7. Tempest - PvP Dash Flowing Strike Tempest

 

The Dash Flowing Strike Tempest is one of the strongest PvP classes for PvP Convoy and it does well in PvP Assault and Shadow Wars. Their dash attacks allow them to get into the fight and deal high burst damage and then get out of danger with their great mobility. They are then free to heal or return for another assault on their opponents. One of the greatest strengths of Dash Tempests is having the best mobility out of the PvP classes and builds in our rankings.

​

8. Blood Knight - PvP Abomination Blood Knight

​​​

Blood Knight is in eighth place 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. PvP Dash Blood Knights also do well in PvP Convoy where dash attacks can hit groups of opponents on the idols and then they can simply dash back to the green healing area, heal up, and then get back into the PvP fight. The Abomination Blood Knight is the highly recommended PvP build for Blood Knight after changes to the PvP meta and it's mostly replaced the old meta PvP Dash Blood Knight.​

​

9. Monk - PvP Tranquil Palm Exploding Palm Monk

​​

The Monk class used to be very weak in PvP battlegrounds because the old meta PvP Cyclone Strike Tempest Rush Monk was very susceptible to crowd control and it didn't deal as much damage as most of the other classes and builds. The Monk class is now more competitive with the introduction of the untargetable Tranquil Palm Exploding Palm Monk which keeps the Monk from being targeted during their assaults. The fairly new Monk build can go invisible with the recommended essences which makes them even more difficult to attack. Monks are nearly unkillable for some builds but they're also somewhat weaker than most of the other PvP builds which makes PvP Monks come in at last place in our rankings.

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 for PvP. Low to mid resonance players can win battlegrounds even when there are multiple whales on the other team if they choose the right class and build. 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!
