If 2.6.1 buffs go live, which class/build will grant the easiest way to do al least 1 solo GR100 (no monk or barb, please).
I'm 1155 Paragon. I have nearly all sets in ancient version (with good rolls), and almost all weapons and rings/amulets needed.
I have level 88 legendary gems, 10 level 85 leg gems to aument waiting in the stash and a lot of mats to reforge/update for the new legendary affixes (weapons/offhands/brazers...).
Gr 100 solo will still be quite of achievement with all of this buffs i think. Currently on ptr highest clear belongs to Akkhans blessed shield crusader. That person cleared gr 116 on non season. Im bit skewed towards crusader, cos i almost always play crusader, and with the newest changes i will be glad to go with crusader as main again. I'm pretty sure that crusader will be one of the best classes to reach this goal especially if you don't like to fish alot.
The other class than crusader will be obviously Necro. I think necro is capable to do 100 in current season for anyone who put enough of effort in it, and it is much less effort that is needed to reach same goal with other classes now.
About your gear: items that changed and got buffed, you will need to farm those again.
Your paragon is bit low and you should work on gems also. I mean 88 gems you can easily upgrade in your way to 100. Augments should be ok i think, but due to fact that you are low paragon, squeezing a bit more from augments might be a good idea.
Just to clear it a bit, i think what you got is enough to reach that gr 100 solo, but you asked about "easiest" way, so the things i pointed will make you reach this goal significantly easier.
My goal for next season is also gr 100, not sure if i will make it, but atleast i will try. Im aiming for 90 augments, 95 gems and around 1k paragon. Ofcourse paragon is lower than what you have, but well on season i need to start from scratch. I don't need it to be easy tho, im patient and i can fish for good rift so i think i should be able to reach it with that attitude.

Yes, 2.6.1, sorry.
I'm in the same spot. I think necro could be the easiest way, but crusader is my favourite class, so maybe I go for that route. Augment the Akkhans set also allows better speed farming with Sages... Thanks!
I just for funzies tried out my Uliana monk (besides rings/amulets/gloves all ancient), I just crafted a new Fist of Az' (used first ancient one, not a really good roll).
With no augments whatsoever cleared a GR92 easily at P1500. I think most of the classes will be able to do easily a GR100 next season, solo. With some 80 augments and P1200-ish.

Crusader will have no problem with 100+, and if you like that one best just go for it.
Myself will go for DH that i find is best for anything but GR. T13speed with gobln army and bounties is so smooth with DH that gearing up will be so fast/easy.
It was more like 4200 paragons, and all high clears on all classes were done by the people with extremally well gear, not only on crusader leaderboards, altho indeed this guy had the best gear of them all, but not by that huge margin if you check other classes. Me pointing out that clear was just giving a clear evidence that crusader can go high without too much fishing (what i heard that person didnt fish much for this 116). My opinion about crusader was also backed up on my own testing on ptr.
Now, the next patch hit PTR, and theres even more crazy changes to all classes. For crusader i got my bets that the easiest gr 100 will be now on invoker thorns sader. Condemn akkhans will be speed beast, might be even making its way to group play as an aoe dps.
With full time job, wife and a 2 years daughter, I barely can play 1 hour per day, and I have to suddenly disconnect sometimes, so I mainly play solo... that's the reason for asking for the easiest way... I have nearly all class sets and weapons ancients with proper rolls (no barb or monk) so if 2.6.1 is not nerfed, I will try with sader, my favourite class and lore (old school d&d player here ). Thanks everybody for your ideas!

I have 2 kids, i play when all sleeps or when they are not at home. I think i can reach gr70 this time or gr75 if i have enought time.
It still won't be that easy to get to GR 100, everything will need to go right for you. Most of what's changing are buffs to damage but the mitigation on most are still the same so even if you can go a couple of tiers higher your chances of survival will be slimmer.

erm... what? there are a lot of toughness boosts on the ptr all over the place
Umm not really. Get on the PTR and see for yourself. Yes we can do more damage but we have not gained much in the way of toughness.
the band of might and halo of karini buffs will actually be a ridiculous toughness increase for the builds that use them. 60% to 80% DR is huge. top geared that will easily add hundreds of millions of toughness.
Currently in Season 12 on PTR 2.6.1, in SC, there are 100+ clears for every class. Literally you can't go wrong, the best thing to do is think about which class you enjoy playing the most and play it. All classes are shaping up to have very good competitive builds for season 12. Blizzard and Don Vu are doing a terrific job providing the kind of build diversity that we all have been asking for, for a long long time.
As a side note, here is a video of my S12 HC Impale DH clear from last night: GR 100 HC
Those builds you just mentioned were one's that badly needed a toughness buff but still plenty are just buffs to damage, I'm betting the forums will be littered with people saying they have the damage to go higher but survivability is an issue.
I'v opted for crusader in my previous post, but after some testing on PTR, im not so sure that crusader will be one of the easiest classes to reach 100 in 2.6.1. I'm still sticking to the class just want to be clear that it might be not the easiest option.
Honestly i dont have experience with other classes, but what i heard barb might be actually pretty good option to reach 100, prolly same for monks and maybe wds.
Overall its really hard to say what will emerge in 2.6.1, looks like it will be awesome season full of surprises (i hope).

Wow! Impressive! Paragon 945 and extra points to Vitality? Less than 1.3kk dps? My god... Maybe it is time to undust my old DH

Hi!

Any thougths?
P.S. Sorry for my English
Edit: 2.6.1
if you meant 2.6.1, the easiest classes for gr100 solo are the same: necro, crus, wiz
Yeah 2.6.1, sorry. Any build suggestion?
It's 2.6.1 i belive not 2.2.6

That's the set-up:

I went Compass Rose/Travelers Pledge and Unity. Flow of Eternity in cube, of course. And I know I should incorporate Lefebre's, too.
EDIT:
However, due to most changes on STR chars, I believe next season I will go Barb + Crusader.
I know OP said no monk please, but just wanted to share my finding.

Thanks for your input!
Sader or necro will be the easiest, but every class should be able to do a 100 with the right gear now.
It was more like 4200 paragons, and all high clears on all classes were done by the people with extremally well gear, not only on crusader leaderboards, altho indeed this guy had the best gear of them all, but not by that huge margin if you check other classes.
