Mastering Diablo 4: Effortlessly Switch Your Character's Class

For RPG enthusiasts, the desire to switch character classes is inherent. Each class offers a unique gameplay experience, making it an enticing prospect for players. This holds particularly true for live-service games like Diablo 4, where players invest countless hours and crave maximum enjoyment.

The game actively encourages experimentation, urging players to explore multiple classes before committing to a single one. Even then, players should remain open to the possibility of switching classes as the game evolves and undergoes balancing changes.

The previous version of this guide was written during Blizzard's Beta period, but it has since been revised and updated to reflect Diablo 4's full launch on June 2nd, 2023 by Hodey Johns. Although the answer remains the same as before, the process has been slightly altered with new button layouts and menu options. To ensure accuracy, this article has been polished up with a clear list of instructions provided at the start of the next section to help players change their class as quickly as possible. While it may not be the answer gamers were hoping for, it is the most accurate one available.

How To Change Classes In Diablo 4

To create a new character or switch to a different one, simply navigate to the 'Game' tab in the menu (pause on keyboards, view button on controllers) and select the 'Leave Game' button. From there, you can choose to either create a new character or select a different existing one.

Diablo 4 has returned to the traditional approach of having each character class completely unique to the player, which may disappoint gamers accustomed to the system in Diablo Immortal that enabled them to switch classes while retaining their levels. Nevertheless, fans of the franchise are likely to appreciate the ability to have multiple characters, as it was a major aspect of the enjoyment in Diablo 2 and Diablo 3. Although reaching the maximum level isn't overly difficult, it's important for players who prefer not to replay the game from scratch to reach the same power level to be aware of this change.

Consider inviting a few friends to join the party and help the new character level up. Since the game is designed to be social, most players are eager to lend a helping hand, especially if the new character complements their party composition. Additionally, even a kind stranger or clanmate may offer assistance when starting anew. Diablo 4 is currently accessible on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
