I spent this past season as LoN Blessed Shield. Was it top-tier? No. Did I make it to GR70 Solo? Yes. Might have made it further with a bit more optimization, but I had fun with it. This coming season, I plan to try out Roland's Shield Bash/Glare, and see how that handles.

Does Diablo 2 have constantly changing top tier builds? Yeah, didn't think so. You're not forced into playing those top tier builds, there are others that are still ok. Obviously it's still a very limited game.
If you want variety I suggest you take a look at Titan Quest. A big patch is coming, complete rework of the game by a bunch of devs that bought the license. The game will essentially be reborn.

Not asking for a different game. Just asking to buff "forgotten" builds and skills, not the same over and over. They buffed ltk for monk and then nerfed it. What was wrong with that?

It's pretty clear at this point that Blizzard only wants one top build every season. They created the trap build for the DH, it performed "ok" and then they nerfed the shit out of it.
D3 is just a glorified monster slaying simulator, it's actually the least "arpg-ish" of all ARPGs. That being said, the combat is really top notch, but that's about the only thing it has going for it.
As I said, I highly suggest you go look into Titan Quest, which in my opinion is the best ARPG available. It doesn't have the same smoothness as D3 for the combat, but it's still far superior. Wait for the current beta of the rework to end and play it. You can get the gold edition for peanuts during a sale, usually 75% off. There are tons of builds available. Obviously, since ARPGs are just maths, there will always be one build above the others, but in this game you can also tank, heal, etc... Playing in a party feels really nice. Although you have to play with friends because there's no "always online" drm, which means everybody can cheat. You host, your friend joins.

I always love these crazy damage build videos. They're always, "you can do crazy trillion amounts of damage! All you need is a full set of expertly rolled ancient items and thousands of paragon levels."

And 13 level 80 augments!

Seeing this vid makes me question why the DH marauders/shadows mantle combos were too powerful and Blizz had to nerf them? At least with this OP build the player doesn't have to target walls while others watch.

:/ garg garg garg, most boring WD build :/.
Please return glory of Bears or Jade!! With Jade build, you must actualy do something, no only wait for garg rekt it all.

I remember the reason ive quit 5th season. It was because of Jade nerf. I didnt really understand why ,but we where able to play Jade equal to other WD builds on PTR ,and they killed Jade right before the patch came out. After this action ,every single WD played stupid garg.
