My Personal Experience
Before diving into the details of each class, I want to share my personal experience with Season 15. I started off playing as a Demon Hunter, as it was my go-to class for previous seasons. However, I quickly realized that the changes made to the class for Season 15 didn’t quite fit my playstyle. After some experimentation, I switched to the Necromancer class and found much more success.
The Best Class for Season 15
Necromancer
The Necromancer class has received some significant buffs for Season 15, making it a top choice for players. One of the biggest changes is the addition of the Rathma’s Shield set, which provides a massive damage increase to minions. This set allows Necromancers to easily clear high-level Greater Rifts solo or in groups.
Additionally, the Trag’Oul’s Avatar set has been reworked to give Necromancers more survivability. The set now allows players to heal themselves and their minions whenever they use a Blood skill, which is essential for staying alive in higher-level Greater Rifts.
Personally, I’ve found the Necromancer class to be incredibly fun to play in Season 15. The ability to summon an army of minions to do your bidding is both satisfying and strategic.
Demon Hunter
The Demon Hunter class has always been a popular choice for players, and Season 15 is no different. However, the changes made to the class this season have caused some players to rethink their choice. The biggest change is the removal of the Marauder’s Set, which significantly impacted the class’s effectiveness in Greater Rifts.
That being said, the Unhallowed Essence set has been buffed, allowing Demon Hunters to dish out massive amounts of damage. The set also provides increased mobility, which can be useful in certain situations.
I personally found the Demon Hunter class to be a bit lackluster in Season 15, especially compared to previous seasons. However, it’s still a viable choice for players who enjoy the class’s playstyle.
Barbarian
The Barbarian class has received some significant buffs for Season 15, making it a strong choice for players. The Immortal King set has been reworked to provide a massive damage increase to the Whirlwind skill, which is a staple for Barbarians. Additionally, the Raekor set has been reworked to provide more survivability, which is crucial for Barbarians in higher-level Greater Rifts.
That being said, I personally found the Barbarian class to be a bit too clunky for my tastes. While the damage output is impressive, the playstyle felt a bit slow and cumbersome.
