Seems like the current meta on the PTR is Monk/Barb in various combinations. I suspect that will change with future PTR patches. Cleared a 58 2 man last night with a Monk/Barb. Neither of us are geared top end and only 400 paragon.
To be fair, we know that anyone running non-raekors in a group is going to be squishy as hell. I don't think we need to wait for the leaderboards to settle to prove that (go do some group rifts!). My own experience so far in groups has been pretty disappointing (mainly in terms of survivability).
I cant agree more here with the lack of survivability. I have had to go more defense giving up some Damage to survive. Even with that knowing some more items will be nlocked during season 3 im going to start with the barb so see where i can take it. Regardless even if i clear the trash suoer quick it takes me just as long to kill the rift guardian. Reminds me to much of raekors or jade.
I looked over the leader boards last night and solo it was real close between all classes. 38-41 for all classes. The 2,3,4 player leader boards were all dominated by DH/Crusader combo.
I have read so many of these threads and still don't understand why people find a clan, make some friends and have fun. Public games suck because you never know whom your joining and what nefarious acts they have planned. There are many great clans out there who are always running rifts, bounties , hardcore etc. Just find one that suits your play style. GL
I honestly don't think its "bad," its just not the best crusader build there is. Its a great build to start with imo. Awesome AOE makes lower rifts easy and bounties easier. I have had to tweak my gear alot to do T5-6. Can do T5 solo fine, T6 is doable just slow and have to use the unity trick. Single target sucks badly on this build and that would be my guess as to why people label it as "bad." Dont be afraid to use this build as you gather your Akkahn's set to move into Firelight or holy shot gun.
Personally this has been one of the most fun build i have ever played. Offers alot of flexability and movement while you can still deal lots of damage. I have found that IAS for this build is the best with a high bounce shield. My shields are hitting for 6-10M for first target and 2-5 to 3M on the bounce. large packs just melt. My gear is still a work in progress but here is my profile.
Finding Holy damage is one of the biggest challenges on this build due to specific items that have to be used. And yes my SOJ is not holy, just havent been lucky in that catagory as of yet.
Bothers me that now the leaders boards are tainted with this bug, wont be reset and now makes it harder for legit players to try to get the top spot. I really do hope others can beat this legit. No congrats from me.

MHG:
I have been running almost the same build on the PTR but with FNR and no HOTA.
Cube passives are the same.
Wear FNR
Lacuni Prowlers for bracers
Swap out War cry for ground stomp or cleave if you choose. Make sure you have almost 50% CDR and ground stomp is always up.
WW Crits for 250-450 million.
This build walks through 50+ with ease.
Most of all the Cube opened up the Barbs builds and as you stated in your video we might see a "Pet" build and other options with IK!
Thanks for the video keep up the good work!

Monk or Barb, since support is dead. Greater rifts seem to be more melee friendly since support is gone. I hope im wrong.
