I'll update the SJ Tracker this weekend, after S7 has ended. As Tyvalir said, typos are always possible (as happened in S7) - if you're playing on Asia server and can "spoil" anything just post it in the SJ Tracker thread. I'll update the Tracker for S8 once S7 has ended and bump that thread. Otherwise I'll check it myself once I have the SJ completed on Saturday.
Conquests
Boss Mode (kill all 16 main bosses in 20 minutes on TX). This is the easiest conquest by far, even for a solo player; see guide here.
Curses! (kill 350 monsters in a Cursed Chest even on TX). Pretty straightforward and the second easiest conquest - you look for the "Cursed Peat" bounty in Path of the Drowned in Act V.
Divinity (GR75 solo) as usual.
Years of War (GR55 solo with six different class sets). Not as difficult as Divinity, but more time consuming.
Masters of the Universe (master 8 set dungeons). This one isn't as hard as it seems, you just have to gather the easiest sets. Here's a great thread with all guides for the different set dungeons; note though that the ranking is subjective. It may be easier to collect 2 sets from 4 classes rather than 4 sets from 2 classes!
Haedrig's Gift
As expected - we go full cycle and every class gets the last remaining set that wasn't part of Haedrig's Gift yet.
Barbarian – Immortal King’s Call
Crusader – Seeker of the Light
Demon Hunter – Natalya’s Vengeance
Monk – Uliana’s Stratagem
Witch Doctor – Spirit of Arachyr
Wizard – Vyr’s Amazing Arcana
Before someone asks: none of those sets is the amazing end-game set for either class, but all of them will work on T6 (some better, some not as good). In any case it's a good starter set that allows you to farm your desired class set.
With the limited info provided, any 'thoughts' on class selections? Thinking if the SJ is similar or the same up to Conqueror, will redo WD (for Haedrigs) and Monk this season (same as S7).
Given that 'Masters of the Universe' has returned, only gonna 'assume' that Set Dungeon mastery is a returning requirement <dang> as well.
As well, thankyou Bagstone for the tracker last season, was very helpful.
Oh, I am so glad Curses! is back. Much easier than Avarice I think. I was able to get Avarice this season, but it took about 7 attempts in the cow level.
@Cyberdoc: All classes can get you there; as I said, no class set is particularly awesome of awful, and every class can solo the entire Season Journey. It's more important that you play a class you're enjoying, as you need to stay motivated through the grind. More important than the right class, in my opinion, is to group up - especially for gear sharing. Again, you can farm 8 sets solo... but it's so much faster in groups. And so much more fun.
The dungeon mastery always has been a requirement in the Season Journey (since set dungeons have been introduced). But it's not big deal, every class has a super easy set dungeon, and there are some that are not just easy but ridiculously easy if you get help (for example the 1000 Storms monk dungeon).
@Metropolis_Man: Really? I personally found Curses is relatively easy, but not *that* easy. I guess depends a lot on which class you play... certainly no joke on WD, and I assume not on Crusader either. Of course ridiculously easy on DH. Not sure about wiz, barb, monk; probably doable but require a decent gear power level.
From what I recall from S6, UE DH and Uliana's monk reigned supreme on the Curses\Stars Align (HC) conquest. I had rolled barb, to me was impossible until I grouped with 3x UE DH's in which they destroyed the 350 with about 500 or so kills.
Really? U6 monk? Wow, that's great news (I'm the designated monk in our group). Gonna test that over the weekend. I was assuming that as soon as I have the set I'm gonna farm for another set (probably SWK as I love the bell monk, or maybe 1000 Storms as I used to love the dash monk but not sure if it's still as powerful).
But yes, UE DH everywhere. UE is just insane. I don't even like DH but I have to admit... it's just insane for the early farming and those speed tasks.

Oh, yeah - once you get a Wave of Light Monk properly geared up to the point where he can spam them it's not hard at all. I failed the first couple attempts and then it clicked - you can't take the time to actually target stuff. You have to just hold down the shift key go bonkers with it obliterating everything in the area because then the waves will come faster. The spirit you go through is ridiculous and you need to make some adjustments once that Bounty actually spawns. It's so rare - that was a pain in itself.
Looks like a repeat of the S6 Conquests of choice for me then. Curses is easy once you find the cursed peat event and Boss Mode is easy as. I dunno why so many people shyed away from it. Compared to the GR75 solo, set dungeons and GR55 with 6 sets requirement, it's very easy and fun to do in a group.

Easy with WoL monk, did it first attempt in the first season I played D3. Took a DH clanmate thru it later, without much higher kills - yah, I carried him! I've been thinking that LQ barb should also make it, once you take the better choices.... There was another bounty I came across during Avarice that seemed to spawn enough mobs, maybe something rare in A1

Season Journey
The SJ stays the same except for the bosses that are being shuffled around. Tyvalir was so kind to post all the changes on Reddit:

Poor barbs and wizards in upcoming season. I will maybe play a monk at all.
