The best Diablo 2 Resurrected builds are important to utilise if you want to become the hero that eradicates the world from evil. Each one of the best Diablo 2 Resurrected classes has several varying paths they can venture down, but choosing which path to take when it comes to upgrades can be very daunting for newer players. Knowing from the start which path is the most ideal can be a huge help, so here are the best Diablo 2 Resurrected builds for each class in the game. 

Best Diablo 2 Resurrected Barbarian Build

The Barbarian is the classic warrior in Diablo 2 Resurrected and brings Whirlwind to the table, which acts as the primary damage dealing method for the entire build. Creating a strong character around it is pretty simple because Whirlwind acts as both a damage sponge and grants buffs to your party around you. To maximise this move and build effectively, you will want to put all your focus onto the Whirlwind move and focus on building Increase Speed, Iron Skin and Sword Mastery.

The Necromancer is not the most exciting of classes, but it is arguably one of the most effective in the game. The most devastating build you can make with this class is based around the summoner playstyle, which offers the ability to raise the dead. Skeletons will flock to you in order to defend and as a result, do all the work for you. To allow this to be done effectively, you will want to smash all your experience into Raise Skeleton, Raise Skeleton Mage, and Corpse Explosion. To help further, jump on upgrading Amplify Damage, Dim Vision, and Lower Resist too.

The holy warrior is a pretty iconic character when it comes to games like this. Any fan of the classic Diablo style of play will no doubt be aware of the Hammerdin Paladin. This is quite an easy class to max out because it only revolves around building a few skills, starting with Blessed Hammer. This ability causes hammers to move around the player and damage any enemies that come into contact with them. They will also deal extra damage to undead enemies which is always handy to have in your repertoire. You will be looking to max out Blessed Aim, Concentration and Holy Shield

Best Diablo 2 Resurrected Amazon Build

You have two life choices to make when you start your journey as the Amazon: focus on being the bow or the javelin. It is wise to stick to the archer build, as it is a lot easier to put your time into firing as many bows as possible and inflicting a lot of damage quickly so to achieve this, you will want to focus on skills such as Strafe and Multiple Shots. The summon ability here will also prove beneficial along with Valkyrie as the perfect addition to your arsenal. What this skill will give you effectively is a damage sponge that your enemies will lock on to instead of you. This will allow you to focus on raining arrows down on your enemies from a distance. You can then focus your attention on growing Evade, Dodge, Penetrate and Critical Strike. 

Best Diablo 2 Resurrected Druid Build

The Druid is perhaps the most adaptable class in the game. Basically, you will either want to focus on DPS or becoming a spell master. It is more effective to focus on becoming an arcane master here and utilising the wide range of spells you have access to. You can either choose to lock into fire or wind skills. While fire may look more appealing in terms of the stats you gain at the start of the game, it will become a lot less effective later in the game. It is probably wise to look into utilising the wind skill sooner rather than later. You will want to particularly focus on elements such as Twister, Tornado and Hurricane. These will serve you well later in the game and can easily be backed up by putting points into Cyclone Armour and Oak Sage to increase your overall armour and durability.

Best Diablo 2 Resurrected Sorceress Build

This is perhaps the fan favourite class, largely thanks to the ability to deal a good and constant amount of damage over a wide range. You will want to focus on improving the Frozen Orb skill tree path, which allows the user to hurtle a big ball of ice across the map as far as the POV allows. It is advisable that you pump your hard-earned points into Ice Blast and Ice Bolt so you can eventually reach Frozen Orb. Once it's obtained, you'll want to add some points into maximising the Cold Mastery skills for some juicy extra damage. It would be wise to also focus some of your points on Warmth so you can improve mana recovery, plus Energy Shield to give you more versatile survival skills. 

Best Diablo 2 Resurrected Assassin Build

Traps are your best friend with this class. The Assassin is one of the most effective classes to choose in the game, largely down to its versatility. Traps with this class allow for a wide amount of elemental damage without your character even needing to attack anyone, so make sure you max out Death’s Sentry, Wake Of Fire, Lightning Sentry and Wake Of Inferno.

Knowing and utilising these skills will make your Diablo 2 Resurrected experience a lot less hassle-free. There is no true formula to what you need to do to build the best class, whatever works for you is the best class style to use. Make sure you fully learn how to play your chosen build before tackling the Diablo 2 Resurrected cow level though...
