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.

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.

The undisputed king. Spell damage scales with character level and spell level (unique to Diablo 1), while Magic fuels a massive mana pool that Mana Shield turns into effective HP — making him both a top damage dealer AND the tankiest class. Staff Recharge means unlimited spell casts.

The Hellfire melee specialist. Fights with a quarterstaff whose sweep hits up to three enemies at once, with blistering attack speed and Dexterity that adds damage as well as block. The catch: the lowest Armor Class in the game and a modest life pool — a true glass cannon. Hellfire only.
