Diablo 4 Season 13's Worst Class is Now Official
Throughout Diablo 4 Season 13, the Paladin has been left behind, as it is the only class failing to achieve a completed run of The Pit at Tier 150. This significant drop in performance contrasts sharply with its previous dominance in earlier seasons. The latest update from the Lord of Hatred expansion has buffed many classes, leading to a powerful meta where most classes easily surpass Tier 150. The community is surprised by this drastic change, especially given the Paladin's earlier status as a top contender. As the current season progresses, speculation arises about potential class balance changes for Season 14.
