Diablo Immortal: The Best Raid Classes Ranked

​1. Crusader - Sacred Fire Primary Crusader​

 

Crusaders are notorious for being a powerful class especially at high resonance. The Sacred Fire primary attack is one of the highest damage primary attack in the game and Crusaders can also have multiple damage rings that deal very high AoE damage. Condemn instantly triggers damage over time effects with the recommended raid essences and Conjuration of Light can be used to negate damage in raids without moving. Crusaders are notoriously powerful especially when they have very high potency which extends the duration of damage over time effects which is then instantly consumed.

2. Necromancer - Summoner Necromancer

 

Necromancers have an army of minions that deal extremely high single target damage once optimized which allows you to attack the boss with Grim Scythe and primary attacks while your summons deal their damage. If you wish to specialize in a summoner build you should use Reforge Stones to increase your summon damage which is very helpful for minion builds.

3. Tempest - Vortex Crosswinds Tempest

​

Tempests are extremely strong in raids compared to other classes at low resonance levels. They perform even better in raids once they have enough increased beneficial effect duration to give 100% uptime on their cooldown skills. If you don't have increased beneficial effect duration on your waist and boots slots you can enchant them at the blacksmith. You can also get increased beneficial effect duration from reforges on your legendary gear. The Vortex Crosswinds Tempest is now stronger for single target than the Dash Raid Tempest and has taken over as the best Tempest Raid build.

4. Demon Hunter - Strafe Multishot Demon Hunter

 

The highest damage Demon Hunter build for raids is the Strafe Multishot Demon Hunter which is currently considered the strongest Demon Hunter build. Demon Hunters are powerful in raids because they deal very high single target damage for their resonance and because they have the advantage of attacking from a distance while moving with Strafe. While not as powerful as the previous three builds in our rankings Demon Hunters can still deal great single target damage in raids.

5. Monk - Fist of Thunder Primary Monk

​​

The Fist of Thunder Monk has strong single target damage with its primary attacks. Inner Sanctuary is helpful because it increases you and your party's primary attack speed which can greatly improve your party's damage. Fist of Thunder Monks are a party favorite for primary attack builds like Crusaders because this build can also serve in a support role.

6. Barbarian - Whirlwind Barbarian

​​

Whirlwind Barbarians received a major buff with the release of Torment XII with a new variation of Whirlwind that made it deal much better single target damage and AoE damage. Instead of focusing on Endless Whirlwind the new build gained a weapon essence that made Whirlwind return energy while also making Whirlwind deal much higher damage. Whirlwind is strong on raid fights where mobility is important while other classes will typically deal less damage on movement fights.

7. Wizard - Shock Slow Time Wizard

​​

While Wizards aren't the most powerful raid class in the game, they can still deal high single target damage once optimized. The Shock Slow Time Wizard focuses on synergy with the shock status effect from legendary essences to improve their damage. Shock Slow Time Wizards are also fairly strong at AoE damage which can help with add phases inside raids.

8. Druid - Dash Werewolf Druid

​​

Druids are the newest class to the game and while they can perform well in raids in both Werewolf and Werebear form they still have a lot of room for improvement. The single target damage of a Druid as both a Werewolf and Werebear is lower than most of the other classes in the game. The Dash Werewolf is recommended for raids because it takes advantage of the Gloomguide's Prize set bonus for increased critical hit chance after using a dash skill. The Werewolf shapeshifting form gives the recommended build excellent mobility with multiple dash attacks which can also improve your Druid's damage.

9. Blood Knight - Whirling Strike Projectile Primary Blood Knight

​​

Blood Knights are the last place raid class in the rankings because their single target damage and AoE damage is much lower than most of the other builds. The Whirling Strike Projectile Primary Blood Knight is the best raid Blood Knight build and should be used in raids to deal damage with Whirling Strike, Umbral Lance, and Shadow's Edge projectiles.​
