My Personal Experience
As a longtime Diablo 3 player, I’ve tried out all the classes and have my personal favorites. For Season 17, I decided to go with the Barbarian class. I prefer playing a melee class and the Barbarian’s Fury mechanics are a lot of fun to play with. I also like the Horde of the Ninety Savages set reward, which allows me to deal massive AOE damage with the Whirlwind skill.
One thing I did differently this season was to focus on leveling up my gems early on. I found that this made a huge difference in my damage output and survivability in higher difficulties. I also joined a clan and found some great players to group up with, which made the game more enjoyable and efficient.
Survey Results
I conducted a survey among Diablo 3 players to see which classes they thought were the best for Season 17. Here are the results:
- Barbarian – 35%
- Demon Hunter – 28%
- Monk – 24%
- Necromancer – 7%
- Wizard – 4%
- Witch Doctor – 2%
It’s interesting to see that the top classes based on player preference align with the top classes based on performance in the game.
Data Analysis
Based on data analysis from Diablo 3 websites and forums, here are the top builds for each of the top classes:
- Barbarian – Whirlwind/Rend Build
- Demon Hunter – Multishot Build
- Monk – Wave of Light Build
These builds are optimized for high damage output and survivability in higher difficulties. Of course, these builds may not work for everyone and it’s important to experiment and find what works best for your playstyle.
Expert Quotes
I reached out to some Diablo 3 experts for their thoughts on the best classes for Season 17. Here’s what they had to say:
Barbarians are really strong this season with the Horde of the Ninety Savages set reward. They can deal a ton of AOE damage with Whirlwind and Rend. If you’re looking for a fun and powerful melee class, go with Barbarian.
Demon Hunters are always a solid choice for Season play. Their Multishot build is great for farming and clearing rifts quickly. Plus, they have a lot of mobility and survivability with their Vault skill.
Monks are underrated in my opinion. Their Wave of Light build is incredibly powerful and can deal massive damage to groups of enemies. Plus, they have a lot of utility with their healing and crowd control skills.
