A tier list of the best Diablo 4 classes for various scenarios has been revealed by the community. The Rogue and Sorcerer are the best classes for early game, while the Barbarian and Druid dominate the endgame. The Necromancer is a solid damage-dealing class but lacks mobility.

Diablo 4's Nightmare dungeons will scale beyond level 100, but there is a limit to the game's difficulty. Players will eventually face a "pinnacle boss encounter" that'll test the limits of even the best level 100 builds.

Diablo IV's endgame progression includes an expanded skill board, nightmare dungeons, and PvP in the Fields of Hatred.
