Best Classes for Everything in Diablo III Season 20

I always hate it when guides and rankings put a lot of fluff in the beginning of their videos/articles. So that’s why I will not do that and be brief about everything. All ratings are a mashup of the current PTR, previous season experiences, my personal oppinion, and comparing findings from all over the community.

Rating System TLDR

SOLO

How deep you can go when pushing Greater Rifts solo. Doesn’t neccessarily mean how easy it will be.

GROUP

High rating means you will find a group easily and that class has a group meta build. Lower ratings means you will have a harder time finding a group and you will contribute less.

FARM

A rating to show how fast this class can go in trivial speed oriented content like Bounties and T16 Rifts.

TANK

A high rating equals to Hardcore Mode viability. The lower the rating the more survivability problems you will have.

FRIENDLY

If the rating is low, the class will require more time, grinding, and skill to be able to operate at peak performance. Three stars means you can have fun playing while only one evening per week.

TOTAL

A quite subjective cumulative power ranking, specifically for this class and Season 20.

Three Stars

This is pretty good stuff, meta defining, “the best”, A-Tier, S-Tier or whatever else you want to call it. The best you can get or very close to it.

 Two Stars

Viable and good. It is not the meta pick, not the non-plus-ultra choice, but it is still more than enough to do a nice job.

One Stars

If you try really really hard, you can probably pull it off, but even then it will be worse than most other classes.

Zero Stars

Nope.

D3 Season 20 Class Ratings

The classes are roughly in the order of their overall ranking. Don’t let that fool you thou: all classes are perfectly viable except Demon Hunters. DHs suck at almost everything except T16 speed clearing without high gear requirements. If you need new items to help increase your ranking please check out d2forge.com.
