Diablo 4 has five classes, each with unique abilities and perks. With many different items and rareties, it can get a little tough to select the best items. Don’t worry; we have got you covered so you can select the best items for your class.

Each item can be one of five rarities, including Normal, Magic, Rare, Legendary, and Unique, with Normal being the most common and Unique items being the rarest and the best. These Unique Items also drop from Bosses and can be found by other players or bought from merchants. 

Unique items can also have one-of-a-kind special effects, making them great for Diablo 4 Endgame Builds. This is further supported by the fact that you can equip multiple Unique items as well, making them super useful and defining traits in a good endgame build as well.
