Diablo 1 Classes

Three heroes, three playstyles. Choose your champion and descend into the labyrinth beneath Tristram.

Warrior

Str 30 · Mag 10 · Dex 20 · Vit 25

The unbreakable wall. Highest HP, strongest melee damage, and the Repair skill. Designed for players who want to face Hell's demons toe-to-toe. In endgame, Warriors become nearly unkillable tanks — but need Stone Curse and Teleport from spell books to survive Hell difficulty.

🏹

Rogue

Str 20 · Mag 15 · Dex 30 · Vit 20

A Tier Skill: Trap Disarm

The ranged specialist. Kite enemies from a distance with bows while using spells for crowd control. Dexterity boosts both damage AND armor class. The safest class for clearing Hell difficulty in skilled hands — but lower HP means mistakes are punishing.

🔮

Sorcerer

Str 15 · Mag 35 · Dex 15 · Vit 20

S Tier Skill: Staff Recharge

The undisputed king. Spell damage scales with the Magic stat (unique to Diablo 1), and Mana Shield turns the Sorcerer's massive mana pool into effective HP — making him simultaneously the highest damage AND tankiest class. Staff Recharge means unlimited spell casts.
