What is Stat Verdict?

Stat Verdict is a free AI-powered loot analysis tool built for Diablo IV players. Upload a screenshot of any in-game item and get an instant, detailed evaluation — including a grade, build-specific recommendations, and whether you should keep, salvage, or craft the item.

How does the Diablo IV loot analyzer work?

Upload a screenshot of an item tooltip from Diablo IV. The AI reads the image, identifies every stat, affix, and property on the item, then evaluates it against your selected class and build. The result is a letter grade (S through D), a verdict (Keep, Salvage, or Craft), and a detailed breakdown of why.

Is Stat Verdict free to use?

Yes — Stat Verdict is completely free to use. No account required, no subscriptions. Just open the scanner and start analyzing your items.

Are there any usage limits?

To ensure service availability for everyone, there is a reasonable daily scan limit per user that resets every 24 hours. This limit is generous enough for typical gameplay sessions.

Yes. Item screenshots are sent to our secure server for AI processing and are not stored after analysis. Scan history, loadout data, and preferences are all kept locally in your browser — we never have access to them.

Will Stat Verdict support other ARPG games?

Yes! Stat Verdict is focused on making Diablo IV analysis perfect first, but plans to expand to other ARPGs like Path of Exile 2, Last Epoch, Diablo III, and more based on community demand.

Warlock Dominates Season 15: Why It's #1 Now

Warlock is Diablo 4's top class going into Season 15. See what's driving the surge — and scan your Warlock gear at statverdict.com to check your build.

If you've been watching the leaderboards heading into Season 15, you already know the story: Warlock is eating everyone's lunch. What started as a "sleeper pick" in the back half of Season 14 has become the undisputed top class, clearing content faster and dying less than anything else in the roster. If you're deciding what to level first when the season drops — or wondering whether your current Warlock is set up to compete — this is the breakdown you need.

Why Warlock Is Pulling Ahead

The short version: Warlock is doing everything at once. It has best-in-class damage scaling, deceptively strong survivability, and the cleanest Pit 150 clears of any class right now.

On the damage side, the class stacks multiplicative buckets more efficiently than its rivals. Between curse-based amplification, damage-over-time ramp, and burst windows that line up perfectly with cooldown resets, Warlock builds hit a scaling ceiling that Paladin and Necromancer simply can't match this patch. When your damage multipliers compound instead of just adding together, every point of Critical Strike Damage, Vulnerable Damage, and Damage Over Time is worth far more.

Survivability is the quiet reason Warlock is dominating rather than just topping single-target dummy tests. The class layers Damage Reduction, life-leech from its curse mechanics, and reliable crowd control, so it doesn't fold to the one-shot mechanics that punish squishier builds in high Pit tiers. In Pit 150, where mob density and boss burst are both brutal, the ability to stay alive and keep uptime on your damage rotation is what separates a clear from a corpse run.

The Season 14 mechanics feed this too. Pandemonium Ruptures throw dense packs and Realmwalkers at you constantly, and Warlock's AoE-plus-sustain profile turns those tears into farming machines rather than survival tests.

The Uniques and Mythics Carrying the Class

Warlock's ceiling is defined by its gear, and a handful of items are doing the heavy lifting this season. Remember that in Season 14, every Unique now drops with 2 guaranteed affixes, and enchanting works on Uniques and Mythic Uniques — so the affix flexibility on these items is higher than it's ever been.

Core curse-scaling Uniques — the items that convert your curse application into flat multiplicative damage are the backbone of every top build. With two guaranteed affixes, you can now push Cooldown Reduction or Resource Cost Reduction onto them without losing offensive weight.
Mythic Uniques — this is where the class truly breaks open. Any 850+ IP Unique can be crafted into a Mythic Unique via the Horadric Cube, and because added affixes are max-rolled on Mythics, enchanting a Mythic to slot in your highest-value stat is essentially free power. Warlock's best-in-slot Mythics let you double-dip on both defensive and offensive stats in the same piece.

Before you commit a Mythic craft or an enchant reroll, it's worth checking whether the item you're building on actually deserves the investment. Screenshot it and scan your gear at statverdict.com — you'll get an instant S/A/B/C/D verdict on whether that piece is a keeper or a crafting candidate.

One more Season 14 reminder that catches players out: never salvage Magic or Rare items with Greater Affixes. Those are Horadric Cube crafting candidates, and Warlock's tightly-tuned stat requirements mean a well-rolled Greater Affix Rare can outperform a mediocre Unique in the right slot.

How Warlock's Spike Contrasts With Lagging Paladin and Necromancer

To understand how far ahead Warlock is, look at the two classes it left behind. Paladin and Necromancer both got out-scaled by the patch 3.1.0 tuning, and it shows.

Paladin's damage relies heavily on additive buckets and sustained uptime, which means it never spikes the way Warlock does — its clears are steady but slow, and it struggles to keep pace in Pit 150 where speed matters as much as raw power. Necromancer, meanwhile, still leans on minion and army-scaling that pushes big numbers on paper but loses tempo the moment its summons die to Rupture density or boss AoE. Both classes are perfectly viable for the campaign and mid-tier Pit farming — they're just not competing for the top spot.

The takeaway isn't "don't play Paladin or Necromancer." It's that if your goal is pushing the highest tiers and farming Ruptures at maximum efficiency this season, Warlock gives you more return for the same time investment.

Prep Steps for a Warlock Start in Season 15

If you're rolling Warlock when the season begins, a little planning goes a long way. Here's how to hit the ground running:

Bank your crafting mats early. You'll want Horadric Cube resources ready to craft a Mythic Unique the moment you hit an 850+ IP Unique. Don't sit on the mats — the sooner your Mythic is online, the sooner your scaling takes off.
Prioritize the right affixes. Chase Critical Strike Damage, Vulnerable Damage, Damage Over Time, and enough Cooldown Reduction to keep your burst windows rolling. Layer in Damage Reduction and a Life roll before you push Pit 150.
Farm Pandemonium Ruptures for gear velocity. Closing tears and defeating Realmwalkers is your fastest route to seasonal rewards and the Unique drops you'll craft into Mythics.
Audit every upgrade before you commit. Enchanting isn't cheap, and Mythic crafts are precious. Run each candidate piece through statverdict.com to get build-specific advice on which affixes actually fuel Warlock's top-tier scaling before you spend materials on it.

The Verdict

Warlock enters Season 15 as the clear #1: it out-scales the field on damage, survives the content that punishes everyone else, and turns Pandemonium Ruptures into a loot conveyor belt. Its Mythic Unique ceiling — powered by max-rolled enchant affixes — puts it a full tier above the lagging Paladin and Necromancer. If you're building toward Warlock, the difference between a good build and a leaderboard build comes down to which affixes you prioritize and which items you invest in.
