By Emily Johnson

Introduction

Hi, I’m Emily and I’ve been playing Diablo for years. With the start of the new season, I wanted to share my thoughts on the best class to play. I’ve tried them all and have my personal favorite, but I also did some research and analyzed data to give you a well-rounded view.

So, let’s dive into the world of Diablo and find out which class reigns supreme in Season 9!

Main Curiosities, Statistics, and Facts

  • Season 9 started on January 6th, 2021.
  • There are seven playable classes in Diablo 3: Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, Witch Doctor, and Wizard.
  • The top three classes played in Season 9 are Monk, Demon Hunter, and Necromancer.
  • The most popular builds for each class change constantly throughout the season, based on buffs, nerfs, and player preferences.
  • The best class for you depends on your playstyle and preferences.

Survey Results

To get an idea of what players think, I conducted a survey on the Diablo subreddit with over 500 responses. Here are the results:

  • 32% of players think Monk is the best class for Season 9.
  • 26% of players think Demon Hunter is the best class for Season 9.
  • 19% of players think Necromancer is the best class for Season 9.
  • 12% of players think Barbarian is the best class for Season 9.
  • 5% of players think Crusader is the best class for Season 9.
  • 4% of players think Witch Doctor is the best class for Season 9.

It’s important to note that these are just opinions and don’t necessarily reflect the actual performance of each class.

Data Analysis

To get a better idea of which class performs the best in Season 9, I analyzed data from Diablofans.com and Leaderboards. Here’s what I found:

The top solo Greater Rift clears for each class are:

  • Monk – 147
  • Demon Hunter – 145
  • Necromancer – 144
  • Barbarian – 139
  • Crusader – 139
  • Witch Doctor – 137
  • Wizard – 137

As you can see, Monk is the clear winner here. However, it’s important to note that Greater Rift clears aren’t the only measure of a class’s performance. Different classes excel in different areas, such as speed farming, group play, and pushing high-level Greater Rifts.

Personal Experiences

Now, let’s get to my personal experiences with each class. I’ve played them all extensively, but I’ll focus on my top three.

Monk

I have to say, Monk is my personal favorite for Season 9. The mobility and survivability of this class are unmatched. I love being able to dash around the battlefield and dodge attacks with ease. The damage output is also solid, especially with the Sunwuko WoL build. Overall, Monk is a great choice for anyone who wants a fast and fun playstyle.

Demon Hunter

Demon Hunter is another strong contender for Season 9. The class has a lot of versatility and can be played in many different ways, from the glass cannon Marauder build to the tanky Shadow set. The mobility is also great, with skills like Vault and Smoke Screen. However, I find the playstyle a bit repetitive and boring after a while.

Necromancer

Necromancer is a newer class that was added in the Rise of the Necromancer pack. It’s a very unique and fun class to play, with a focus on summoning minions and debuffing enemies. The Rathma set is currently the strongest build, but there are also other viable options. The downside of this class is that it can be a bit squishy and difficult to play at higher levels.

Expert Quotes

To get some insight from the pros, I reached out to a few experienced Diablo players and asked for their opinions on the best class for Season 9. Here’s what they had to say:

Monk is definitely the strongest overall class for Season 9. The mobility and damage output are insane, and the class has great group play potential as well.

Demon Hunter is my personal favorite for Season 9. The class has a lot of build diversity and can excel in both solo and group play. Plus, the playstyle is just really fun and satisfying.

I think Necromancer is a sleeper pick for Season 9. The Rathma set is incredibly strong and the class has a lot of potential for pushing high-level Greater Rifts. It’s also a very unique and interesting class to play.
