In addition to a brand new story, tons of quality-of-life improvements, many new mechanics, and even some new endgame dungeons to enjoy, Diablo IV: Vessel Of Hatredalso adds a new class; the Spiritborn.
Hereās everything you could ever need to know about the new Spiritborn class, with details for each animal variant.
What Is The Spiritborn Class?
Channeling energy from the āunformed landsā (like the Witch Doctors before them), Spiritborn are close-combat experts, specializing in a wide variety of melee attacks which draw inspiration from four distinct Spirit Animals.
Jaguar
Eagle
Gorilla
Centipede
They play like a mix of the Rogue and Assassin class, and the Druid and Witch Doctor, able to flexibly channel Spirit Animals to create a customized close-range gameplay. While they canāt fill a long-range role on your team, their overall mobility, and the ability to play four distinct ways (depending on which abilities you select), makes them a solid addition to a group, and they are completely viable to play solo.
Want to be more durable and long-lasting in combat? Choose Gorilla skills and create barriers around your health to absorb damage. Want to be able to zoom around the battlefield quickly, throwing projectiles? Eagle skills are for you. As an added bonus, Eagle builds have the potential to be the most powerful the Spiritborn has to offer.
If you want to deal lots of fast damage, Jaguar skills are what you need, and the Centipede is for Spiritborn who want to debilitate their enemies with poisons and movement-impairing slowdowns (my personal favorite and one of the more powerful builds).
