The Absent Heroes: Paladin and Crusader
As of the game’s launch, neither Paladin nor Crusader is playable in Diablo 4. While this may be disappointing news for fans of the holy magic wielders, there is hope that they will be added in the future. In Diablo III, the Crusader was added in a later expansion, so it’s possible that the same thing will happen in Diablo 4.
Can You Play Paladin in Diablo 4?
Well, I’m sorry to break it to you but during its Open Beta period, Paladin is not yet available in the game. And even the Crusader is nowhere to be found. The game is set to be released with only five starting classes: Barbarian, Rogue, Sorceress, Druid, and Necromancer.
But don’t lose hope just yet! Players were able to create Druid and Necromancer during the Open Beta weekend, so it’s possible that more classes will be added in the future. However, Blizzard hasn’t confirmed any plans to introduce new classes during the official release. So, if you’re a holy magic enthusiast, you’ll have to wait a bit longer before you can unleash divine punishment upon Diablo 4’s heretics.
Different Playable Classes
Barbarian – A Classic Returns
The Barbarian is one of the five playable heroes in Diablo 4 and is a classic character from the first two games in the series. This class is all about brute strength and taking out enemies with a storm of swinging weapons both blunt and sharp. If you’re looking for a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to combat, the Barbarian is the hero for you.
Rogue – The New Kid on the Block
The Rogue is a new addition to the Diablo series and is a versatile class that mixes long-range combat skills with cloak-and-dagger melee attacks. Expect dirty work at range and up close using daggers and bows. The Rogue will also use a ‘combo points’ mechanic to build off their attacks and abilities for powerful damage output. If you’re looking for a sneaky, agile hero who can adapt to any situation, the Rogue is the perfect choice.
Sorceress – Unleash the Power of Magic
The Sorceress is all about unleashing the power of magic, using a wide range of spells to destroy foes. This is the best option if you’re looking for an all-rounder character with both a heavy melee attack and ranged damage potential. If you want to harness the power of the elements to annihilate your enemies, the Sorceress is the hero for you.
Druid – The Most Versatile Hero
The Druid is the most versatile of the Diablo 4 heroes, as they can turn themselves into various animal companions to fight alongside them or control the elemental forces of wind and earth to unleash powerful wrath. If you want a hero who can adapt to any situation, the Druid is a perfect choice.
Conclusion
While Paladin and Crusader may not be available in Diablo 4 at launch, the game still offers a wide range of playable heroes for players to choose from. Whether you prefer brute strength, magic, or agility, there’s a hero for you. With the possibility of new heroes being added in the future, the world of Sanctuary is sure to keep players entertained for years to come.
