Those who relish the fantasy of a quintessential savior, protecting and rescuing allies from certain doom will be well-served by the Cleric.
While typically associated with keeping a mixed party alive in RPGS, it is easy for a Cleric's healing abilities to overshadow their considerable capacity for dishing out holy damage, especially against undead. Admittedly, the Cleric build is for pure team players, but the boost it brings to survivability and utility make it a welcome addition to almost any party configuration in the game. Party healers were somewhat uncommon in Diablo 2's meta, partially because only one class is really fit for the job: The Cleric-build Paladin. There is always a possibility that Blizzard will throw Diablo fans a curveball, and release an entirely new type of Paladin, but those who don't want to miss out on the opportunity to play a divinely-appointed knight in shining armor should jump at the chance provided by Diablo 2: Resurrected. Mechanically, Paladins are one of the most versatile classes in the game, with opportunities for dedicated party play, PVP dueling, and solo player-versus-monster annihilation. RELATED: Diablo 4: The Case for Playing a Barbarian at Launch After all, at the end of Diablo 3, Heaven has been sacked by hell, and most of Sanctuary's holy orders have been devastated by demonic invasions. With only one of Diablo 4 class yet to be revealed, the case for Paladins, or holy warriors of any type making an appearance at launch is somewhat fraught and by no means a certainty. While that archetype has an inherent appeal to many gamers, the best argument for playing Paladin may be a matter of speculation, variety, and metagaming. Thematically, it is perhaps the most fitting role for heroes in the Diablo universe, seeing how the central struggle is between the forces of Heaven and Hell. While there are cases to be made for each of the game's seven classes, Diablo 2's take on Paladins stands out as one of the best executions of the "holy warrior" concept in action RPGs. While the interminable wait for Diablo 4 stretches on, Diablo 2: Resurrectedprojected arrival in 2021 should offer players some respite, regardless of whether they are veterans of the original or experiencing one of Blizzard's masterpieces for the first time.
