My question is, do other classes posses builds as powerful as the ones above? Can my Monk ever reach this level of effectiveness? I currently don't play a WD but am now considering on playing one.
What do you guys think?
In terms of damage? No, never, literally won't come anywhere close to a pet WD. But you'll be loved as a buff bitch in groups.

No, I actually somewhat agree with you on this topic. There probably should be some balance, although the WD tends to be very reliant on gear to be *that* good. You just think I am like that because I disagreed with the daily RNG whine threads you made. But you, as well as the other guy, have to learn this isn't battle.net and that shit isn't welcome here.
If you want to discuss the merits of balance, let's talk about that. Let's analyze exactly how good that guy's gear is, etc. Let's have discussion about equally-geared WDs using those two specs versus other classes
If someone wants to demand "severe nerfs" to a class, though, that shit has no place here. Not every WD is rolling amazing gear capable of T6 here. I know I'm not. So it's a product of how the gear interacts with the skills and that requires a far more nuanced solution than just massively nerfing WDs.
In fact, the DoT build that guy was using, the "problem" almost assuredly comes from the interaction between the set bonus and the Creeping Death passive, yes? If you were just to "severely nerf" WDs as the other guy demanded, you'd be doing way more harm than good. Yes?
Well i'm glad we finally see eye to eye about something ; )
The thing is that Fetish WD is much stronger than other classes, WD was overpowered from the very start, I had already realized it during the first week.
I personally just can't see any other reason for you to disagree with me than you being blinded by love for your wd.
What makes this even more stupid is that wd doesn't even have to put himself into any threat if he doesn't wish to...................
EDIT: Oh, lookie it's shaggy the justice!
I presented my first post in totally mannered and constructive manner without doing using any smart remarks.
I tried to present some proof and reasons why I think WD needs a severe nerf and that's it.
There is nothing more to it than that, nothing to be butthurt over, especially towards other forum users, WD or other classess.
On the other hand, I'm pretty butthurt to Blizzard for ruining an awesome game, but that's an entirely different matter and involves much more than just this.
Can you please try to contribute into this discussion something more fruitful than an obvious taunts.

Its very difficult to get all pieces, you need lots of farming hours and thats why those builds are great.
BUT best class?? I dont think so! Theres a lot of skills that are useless, passives too. The class design is not good at all, thats why you need so much powerfull items that changes how you play the class. Blizzard "fixed" the class with items and sets bonus.
Ya i can only imagine how hard it would be to fine the jade 6 set piece and the helm... could take months or even years
Barbs better IMO, although more reliant on the double reduction from IK pets bug + unity... Once either of those are fixed WD will be top for sure. Rest of the classes are defiantly lacking behind atm in comparison, hope they get buffed.

This list is difficult to believe to be true, because I have found a Starfire (legendary wand) on my hardcore crusader, which at the time was my only hardcore character. according this list, all wands have a 0.00% chance to drop for any class but wizards.
plus it's a lowlvl (lvl19), it was the very first legendary to ever drop on any hardcore character for me (crusader was my first HC).
sooo...while there might be some truth in it, I would not take this as granted and the holy grail.
and at the end, d3 is a farming game. you have to farm to get stuff. and you have to farm a lot to get the stuff you actually want. I don't really see a problem in that. if everyone would have the best items within 10 hours of playing, everyone would cry "you can get OP so fast there is nothing left to do in the game anymore".
Did you read the article?
The smart loot has a 15% chance to not be applied on drop.
So, that is when you found your wand on your crusader.
The data shown in the link is FOR WHEN the smart loot applies....
1. We have to hope the item is on the drop table
2. We have to hope to get the item typ e.g. "Sword" to drop
3. We have to hope it is the correct item e.g. thunderfury
If point 1 already is false, you can run 1 billion rifts in this game session and will never get the drop you want.
But don't worry, they increased legendary drop rate by 100% in rifts = more bad belts and rings. Good luck have fun playing the lottery! Btw there is NO trade : )
But we already know which items can drop from what source (meaning cache only and torment only) so that point 1 is irrelevant. Point 2 and 3 are just like before because it's all RNG. The only interesting thing about this news is that we can now see which items have the lowest droprate (which most people also already knew) and that droprates in general are pretty much balanced.
He's referring to the conspiracy theory that if you load a game, that game will only drop like, boots and belts for the vast majority of legendaries, and maybe very rarely a shoulder. Reload and suddenly it's chest, gloves and possibly a bracer.
That's good (for you)... How about thousands of other players that keep getting bad lottery tickets? A very small percent are completing sets / playing T6 which is fine. But there is a very good chance you could play 50k hours and never advance. Its all in the lottery tickets and thousands will never get a good one.
The current loot system would be fine imo if trade enabled. That way even if your unlucky you'd eventually be able to play a desired build. But with the current design you may never achieve a certain build.

"These figures do not tell you your chances of finding a legendary item. What they tell you is IF the game rolls a legendary or set item for a given slot, WHICH of the possible items will appear."
I think you're lacking reading comprehension
