During season 1 I played the same class I normally play, a Crusader, I got bored because none of my friends played season, This time we all agree to play season 2, and now I have no idea what class to play. any advice or word what class to play.
for those who tested PTR.
are DH still the broken OP class in S2?
do the changes to the monk set make it fun? got bored of the spam fest it was.
If u where a fan of whirlwind ( Barbarian ), S2 is the time to step in
This skill will destroy in S2 because of the WW set+ ring that buffs WW damage.
Nope, that is not coming in season 2 yet. It's part of patch 2.2, which is still quite far away (probably late summer or so).
I'll admit I haven't kept up on every single thing on D3 in the past 2 months, but what does 2.2 contain that makes you think it'l take another 6 months to put out?

It's more like a conservative estimate. I mean, there might even be a 2.1.3 patch before 2.2, who knows? Best case the 2.2 PTR starts in a few weeks and we'll have 2.2 out for season 3 in about 3 months. That'd be like super optimistic. 6 months seems like the average development time for major changes, and 3 new/changes class sets, a new zone, new boss, new monsters and so on I'd consider to be major (well it is major by definition as the patch number indicates a major change). Worst case, it'll be even later... though I don't think they want/should hold off the changes presented at Blizzcon for more than a year.
No hint at all, just an educated guess. In fall last year we were all thinking/hoping that 2.1.2 would hit before Christmas... and now it's about 6-7 weeks later than expected. Just learning a lesson from that (though the major reason here probably was that they were afraid of releasing 2.1.2 before the holidays).

I truly hope this isn't the case. My guess has been that 2.2 will accompany S3, since they had some of the work done at Blizzcon. I know that sometime in December, John Wang was talking about working on Zuni's bonuses, and seemed to have an idea of what he wanted to do. That gives me a bit of hope that they were close then to implementing a couple of ideas for some of the sets, and thus hopefully closing in on having something PTR ready.
Personally, I'm hoping they open up the PTR sometime during the second month of S2, and just add stuff as they think it's test ready, that way we both know what some of the content of the patch is going to be, and they give adequate time for testing.
Hmmm....well that's a bummer. Guess I won't be playing S2 either then.
I could swear they specified in future season they will implement the new sets too, had no clue they mean S3, in this case the new season means some changes and 5 new legendary ... no thx
Thanks for the info
Yeah, I know the feeling, I wanted to play a WW barb with the new set and items but looks like it will be for 2.2
for those who tested PTR.

monk needs to spam offensive skills (not mantras) to deal damage, imo that's a fix as well.

Probably at least one additional class, not sure which one.
