The Sorcerer is currently the most popular class in Diablo 4, as indicated by the game's achievement stats. On the other hand, the Druid happens to be the least popular choice among players. With Diablo 4 being available for a few weeks now, action-RPG enthusiasts have had ample time to delve into Sanctuary, conquer its numerous dungeons, and experiment with all five classes that were launched.
At the game's release, Diablo 4 introduced five classes for players to select from: the Sorcerer, Druid, Rogue, Barbarian, and Necromancer. Dedicated fans who participated in the game's beta tests had the opportunity to test out these various classes beforehand, likely influencing their decision on which class to begin their journey with in the full game. Nevertheless, each class has its own set of achievements that can be accomplished within a few hours of gameplay, and the statistics on these achievements shed light on the popularity of each class.
Diablo 4 Classes Ranked
According to the unlock rates for achievements in Diablo 4, the Druid class is the least favored choice among Xbox gamers, with only 12.25% opting for it and progressing far enough to earn the Shifty Swipes achievement. Following closely behind is the Barbarian class, which holds a 14.33% unlock rate. The Necromancer class in Diablo 4 falls in the middle, with a modest 25.25% unlock rate. Slightly ahead is the Rogue class, boasting a 25.55% unlock rate. However, the clear frontrunner in popularity is the Sorcerer class, amassing an impressive 31.34% unlock rate.
Sorcerer - 31.34%
Rogue - 25.55%
Necromancer - 25.25%
Barbarian - 14.33%
Druid - 12.25%
The Diablo 4 achievement stats confirm Blizzard's claim that the Sorcerer is the most favored class in the game. While there is a possibility that the Necromancer and Rogue could eventually surpass it, this is unlikely. During the testing phases, the negativity surrounding the Diablo 4 Druid may have influenced players to choose a different character in the full game. Despite Blizzard's improvements to the Druid class based on fan feedback, it appears that many fans still have reservations about playing as a Druid in Diablo 4.
Rumors suggest that additional classes may be added to Diablo 4 in the future, potentially through DLC expansions. However, there have been no official announcements regarding this. Even if new classes are introduced, they are not likely to significantly disrupt the popularity rankings. While the middle positions may shift, it seems certain that the Sorcerer will remain the most popular class in Diablo 4, while the Druid will continue to be considered the least popular.
Diablo 4 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
