Diablo Immortal: The Best Raid Classes Ranked
Introduction: The Best Raid Classes And Builds Ranked
This guide contains the best raid classes and builds ranked against each other for low to mid resonance players. You can also find links in our rankings that can take you to the recommended raid build for each class. This guide should also give you an indication of which classes are the strongest for single target damage but keep in mind that AoE damage is also sometimes very beneficial in raids on certain fights. Below you will find the top raid classes and builds ranked.​
​

​1. 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. The new Bone Wall essences which summons zombies took this build to first place for raid damage. If you wish to specialize in a summoner build you can also use Reforge Stones to increase your summon damage which is very helpful for minion builds.

2. 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.

3. Barbarian - Whirlwind Demoralize 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. 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. They were buffed again with the addition of Whirling Howl which allowed Whirlwind Barbarians to use Demoralize with instant DoTs. Whirlwind is strong on raid fights where mobility is important while other classes typically deal less damage on movement heavy fights.

4. Wizard - Disintegrate Meteor Wizard
The new Disintegrate Meteor Wizard was recently buffed and deals very high single target damage once optimized. Disintegrate Meteor Wizards have a new synergy with the Shock status effect from the Skybreaker's Bolt set to improve their damage. This Wizard build is also very strong at AoE damage when multiple enemies are close together.

5. 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.

6. Demon Hunter - Strafe Multishot Demon Hunter
The best Demon Hunter build for raids is the Strafe Multishot Demon Hunter which is currently considered the strongest single target damage Demon Hunter. Demon Hunters are powerful 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 builds in our rankings Demon Hunters can still deal excellent single target damage in raids.

​
7. Monk - Fist of Thunder Primary Monk
​​
The Fist of Thunder Primary Monks have strong single target damage with their primary attacks. Inner Sanctuary is helpful because it increases you and your party member's primary attack speed which improves their damage. Fist of Thunder Monks are a party favorite for primary attack builds like Crusaders because Monks can also serve in a support role.

​
8. Druid - Fire Tornado Raven Swarm Druid
​​
The Fire Tornado Raven Swarm Druid is the newest Druid build to the game and is now both the strongest single target and AoE Druid build available. The Fire Tornado Raven Swarm Druid also has great mobility with 40% increased movement speed from the Rattling Shell essence and optionally the Stag Charge skill with the Wanton Buck essence in PvP.

9. Blood Knight - Whirling Strike Siphon Blood 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. They were buffed with the addition of new Siphon Blood essences in Torment X but the new Siphon Blood also lacks mobility. The Whirling Strike Siphon Blood Primary Blood Knight is the best raid Blood Knight build and should be used in raids to deal damage using Whirling Strike, Siphon Blood, and Shadow's Edge projectiles.​
