C-tier: Sorcerer is in a bad place, lacking identity and overshadowed by Rune master. However, Meteor and Black Hole are still decent.
B-tier: Necro has strong pets, Druid’s Werebear is top-notch, and Falconer looks promising, especially with throwing attacks in the mix.
A-tier: Lich is solid due to Death Seal, and Shaman should improve with reworks.
S-tier: Paladin shines in multiplayer with its support skills, while Spellblade excels in offense with Shatter Strike and static builds.
Top picks: Warlock will shine with new curse synergies and Falconer could also impress with unique skills.
