Necromancer

Why it's S-tier: Minion-based builds like Summoner Necro or Diablo 4 Items Blood Surge make leveling feel safe and powerful. Corpse Explosion provides one of the best AoE tools for the early game, and you don't need top-tier gear to be effective.

Ideal For: Casual players, solo players, newcomers

Spiritborn (New Class)

Why it's S-tier: Quill Volley and Stinger builds bring excellent mobility, burst damage, and scalability right from the get-go. Spirit Guardian buffs provide a passive edge that doesn't require gear investment.

Top Skills: Quill Volley, Stinger, Crushing Hand

Rogue

Why it's S-tier: Twisting Blades, Flurry, and Barrage builds offer top-tier mobility, AoE, and boss-killing potential. Rogues shine in all content and scale well with basic gear and aspects.
