Diablo 4 has five of the game’s famous classes as playable options: Barbarian, Rogue, Sorcerer, Druid, and Necromancer. Each class has distinct abilities and playstyles. While they are not necessarily evenly matched, the game has created a great deal of equilibrium across class lines.
However, two of the five main classes appear to be falling behind in the current meta, prompting many players to believe there is an innate prejudice against them.
Necromancer and Druid are both focused on builds that use pets or minions and as players have pointed out, the D4 mods have indicated that pets and minions should not be included in the Season’s meta. A stance that has irritated a large percentage of the player base.
Following the recent statements on class balance in the upcoming Developer Update, some players took to Reddit to accuse the mods of “bias” against pet and minion builds.
In a lengthy discussion, one player explained the current problems with the class builds; “Not only the devs but the player base needs to understand the issue it faces,” the thread begins. It also covers why they feel the classes need “to be revamped to become viable.”
“Great post, Summoner necro is in a really bad state,” said one player.
“I think it goes beyond minions,” another wrote, adding that the Necromancer class feels “hollow” and “unfinished”.
A separate thread titled “Devs need to realise Druids and Necros want pet builds” emerged, with players debating the benefits of pet and minion-focused builds entering the current D4 meta.

Some players noted that these kind of builds also dominate the meta in similar games.
“I play a tanky summoning build in Remnant 2 on the highest difficulty,” remarked one player. “They rotate in and out of Path of Exile’s meta as S-tier,” another user said.
It appears that Druid and Necromancer fans will have to wait and see if the developers are listening and what Diablo 4’s midseason update may offer.
