In season 3 my friends gonna play crusader and barb. We aren't pushing top leaderboards and such. More playing for fun. Above casual. But not all out nerding.
Am i doing a mistake by chosing a WD as my s3 char ?
Played WD most of vanilla and all the way up to 2.1. So i kinda miss the class. But i dont wanna play something that will underperform hard
On ptr my friend managed to clear 43 easily with his current gear Current ptr patch. Not amazing gear. Roland Crusader
How well will WD's do in next season. Will i be able to clear 40 without too much hassle ?(will ofc do my part to get the gear. Not expecting a freeride) 40 is kinda my goal. Higher than that a bonus. But not something i go out of my way to clear
Thanks for all the answers. Gonna go WD and worst case scenario. I can always swap if it doesn't work out. Aslong as gr40 is obtainable without selling my soul and my first born i am happy enough
Although correct, the proc rate increase is only 5% (from 10% to 15%). It should however enable the WD to choose proc-skill more freely, or no designated proc skill at all (relying on e.g. haunt and/or pirhanado).
I wouldn't recommend the WD if your plan is to play casually a couple of hours here and there. The WD is truly in the hands of the RNG god when it comes to gearing. I chose the WD for S2, but after hitting paragon 200 i switched to barb in pure frustration. The WD has a lot of build defining weapons and voodoo masks. In theory you would think that was a good thing because you have a lot of variety, but in my experience it's a big hurdle in gear progression as all combos require totally different gear setups in the other slots, forcing you to farm and hoard a huge amount of items, just in case you actually find one of the build defining weapons, which historically and statistically hasn't been anything but a pipe dream for most players.
Unless you're a die hard WD fan and hate all other classes I would roll a Monk, DH, Wiz or Barb for T6 + lvl 40 grift goals. WD is fun, but only if you like a challenging class that actually requires some skill. There's no cookie cutting one-click wonder builds for the WD. I found the Raekor barb quite fun in S2. Lots of damage and mobility. The new WW barb (post nerf) also looks like a lot of fun. Same with tal rasha / delsere Wiz and strafe DH. The raiment monk murdering T6 rifts and doing huge single target dps in grifts does however look like the most fun/efficient build atm.

Well you can do 40++ with Wd, no doubt.
Also the best part about WD is build diversity (imo best in game) there are at least 3 or 4 builds that can get you 40+ grifts.
Also zDps Wd is welcome in any group.
Wd will be my choice for S3 aswell. After playing Monk s2 i just missed my non seasonal Wd.
Wizard.

i wish they would do something for movement speed. we are just too far behind other classes in mobility.
