Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about the various professions in the game Diablo 3.Many players will ask a question when they first encounter this game: “Which profession is the most fun?”In fact, there is no standard answer to this question, each profession has its own characteristics and play style.The key depends on what kind of operation style you like, and whether you value output, survival or support ability more.
Below I will introduce the seven professions in the game one by one, from their play style, strengths and weaknesses to which players they are suitable for.Even if you’re new to the game, you’ll be able to understand them easily!
1. Barbarian
Positioning: Melee output, tank type character
The Barbarian is a very “hard” character, simply put, he can resist and fight.He can use all kinds of weapons to charge into the enemy pile to cut monsters, but also can be a single person to brush the copy or team to challenge the difficult task.
Playing Characteristics:
- Strong single brush ability: for example, with the Whirlwind Chop skill you can hit many monsters at once with high efficiency.
- Group performance is also good: in the team can help control the enemy, but also carry damage.
- Operation is not complicated: it is easier for newbies to get started.
Cons:
- Little weapon choices: mainly relies on just two weapons – Incinerator and McSword, other weapons are less recommended.
- Too much reliance on charging skill: if the charging skill is on cooldown, you will become passive.
- Melee professions are more brittle: if you’re accidentally surrounded, it’s easy to hang up.
Summary:
If you like to face your enemies head on and enjoy the feeling of “one man against all men”, then Barbarian is a good choice.Especially in the later stages of the ladder rankings, the Barbarian’s performance is also very strong.However, for newbies, it is recommended to practice your positioning and skill release timing.
2. Witch Doctor
Positioning: Summoning, DOT damage, supportive role.
The Witch Doctor profession may seem a bit intimidating, but he is actually one of the most interesting characters in the game.He can summon pets and use sustained damage skills to fight monsters, and he basically doesn’t need to do much himself, it’s all about the “babies” fighting.
Gameplay features:
- Pets to help fight monsters: such as skeleton dogs, fire bats, big brother, etc., these pets can help you attract hate, but also can output.
- Various ways to fight monsters: you can use poison arrows, acid rain, exploding dogs, etc. to slowly torture the enemy.
- Good helper in the team: especially in the high level secret world, the witch doctor can provide a lot of help.
Cons:
- Poor mobility: only one escape skill, Spirit Walking, not very good at getting away when in danger.
- Personal output is low: Although the output has been improved with the Jade Soul set, it is still not outstanding on the ladder ranking.
- Operation has a certain threshold: you need to manage pets, skill cycle and blood orb generation, not particularly suitable for pure novices.
Summary:
If you want to experience the feeling of “Commander” and have a group of minions fight for you, then Witch Doctor is a good choice for you.Especially if you have a few friends playing together, you can use the Witch Doctor to bring them up to speed quickly.And now in the current version, the witch doctor is also very fast and efficient in brushing equipment.
3. Demon Hunter
Occupational positioning: Long-range physical output, explosive character
Demon Hunter can be said to be the favorite of many players.She wears high heels, holds a bow and arrow, and outputs wildly from afar, hitting fast and furious, which is very refreshing.
Playing Characteristics:
- High output: whether it’s a single enemy or a group of enemies, it can clear the field quickly.
- Strong mobility: many dodging skills, not easy to be hit.
- Fast molding speed: as long as the equipment is slightly molded, it can deal high damage.
Disadvantages:
- Too reliant on the Hunting Set: this set is too strong, causing almost no one to play in other genres.
- High operation requirements: you need to be skilled in positioning and skill combos, otherwise it’s easy to die violently.
- Slightly monotonous in the late stage: the playing style is relatively fixed, not much change.
Summary:
If you like long-range output and pursue a high burst and high mobility playstyle, Demon Hunter is definitely the first choice.Especially in the early season, her performance is very strong.Many expert players like to use her to play the ladder rankings.If you’re new to the game and want to practice a profession that’s easy to get results in, Demon Hunter is a good choice.
4. Monk
Occupational positioning: Flexible melee, support role
Monk’s profession is characterized by fast movements, fancy skills and rhythmic operation.He can either play output or add blood and buffs to his teammates.
Playing Characteristics:
- Team is strong: in a four-player team, the Martial Monk often exists as a support, able to return blood and gather monsters.
- Skills are cool: such as exploding corpse palm and bell skills, it’s cool to look at.
- Part of the school is very powerful: such as the whirlwind circle gathering monsters + output, high efficiency.
Disadvantages:
- Too dependent on sets and special effect weapons: without good equipment, the damage will be much lower.
- Unstable Survivability: some defensive skills have long CDs, so it’s easy to die if you miss.
- Unsuitable for solo brushing: compared to other melee professions, the ability of martial arts monks to fight the high-level secret realm alone is weak.
Summary:
If you have stable teammates to play with, Martial Monk is a great support type character.However, if you are a single player and want to clear the higher levels by yourself, it may not be recommended to pick the Monk.On the whole, Monk is more suitable for those players who like teamwork and are flexible in their maneuvers.
5. Wizard
Positioning: Long-range magic output, AOE monster clearing specialist
Wizard is a typical long-range magic output profession, relying on a variety of elemental magic to fight monsters, skill effects are also very gorgeous.
Playing characteristics:
- Skill effects look good: ice, fire, electricity various elemental magic, the visual effect is very shocking.
- High Monster Clearing Efficiency: Especially suitable for fighting groups of monsters, with strong ranged damage.
- Good operating feel: smooth skill release, strong sense of percussion.
Cons:
- Too reliant on sets: for example, the Immortal Bird set has almost become the only option.
- Insufficient burst damage: unlike the old days when a single shot of skill killed the whole field in seconds, it now favors fighting a long-lasting battle.
- Mobility in general: Although there is a teleportation skill, it is still easy to be surrounded when facing dense enemies.
Summary:
If you like to cast spells remotely and enjoy gorgeous skill effects, Mage is a good choice.However, in the current version, the performance of the mage is not particularly bright, and Blizzard officials are ready to strengthen him in the new season.If you are willing to wait a little bit, the future may have a better performance.
6. Crusader
Profession: Tanky, High Damage Reduction, Single Brush Tool
Crusader is a paid profession (you need to buy DLC), but he has one big advantage: he is good at soloing.He’s not only resistant to fighting, but he can also quickly brush his equipment.
Playstyle Features:
- Extremely strong survivability: various damage reduction skills, almost never die.
- Brush equipment high efficiency: especially T6 difficulty Gunn copy, brush up fast and stable.

- Limited role in groups: although it can carry, the output and support are not top notch.
Summary:
If you are a solo player who likes to slowly brush equipment and fight monsters by yourself, Holy Teaching Army is perfect for you.He doesn’t require complex operations like other professions and doesn’t die easily, making him an ideal choice for casual players.
7. Necromancer
Profession positioning: Summoning stream, strongest single output
