It's absolutely great to see everyone enjoying so many new builds and really enjoying the classes for what they were meant to be. It was boring only have the maximum build paths but now with all the legendary affixes, cdr, and paragon system, people are really able to experiment and try new things and kind of make themselves into the hero they want to be. I love it. Absolutely cannot wait to play on my ps4. When I say I cannot wait, I mean, my laptop can't run diablo 3, I don't have the money for a pc, and I think about playing diablo 3 every. single. day.
As a Wizard player from Day 1, I'm sorry but they only improved my baby. From CMWW to Frost Wizard (My intended build from Day 1) They're just great all around. My friend is running a sort of lightning arcane wiz which is cool. I'm waiting to get all my legendary gear but so far I've found some useful items that enhance my build too.
See a lot of hate on Barb post patch, IDK why but I'm liking mine more. If I pop WoTB and Ignore pain, both with the rune that heals for 827 Life per fury, I catch around 1.1 Million toughness and i think around 75k healing. I have 90k Life. I build him as a tank and use the Threatening shout with the rune for Taunting so I can be a real tank and make sure no one tries killing my friend.MY BARB in case anyone wants to see how he's built. This is with only 1 post 2.01 legendary found(Boots).
I can never betray my Barbarian. We've been through so much!

Loving my dh now. Exciting to experiment with new builds with so much more viable skills postpatch. And much less graphical stuttering makes it all less frustrating!
Love my monk even more now with the mobility improvements. I've always been a melee guy, and being able to zip around the battlefield is a ton of fun. First step with loot 2.0 is getting as much run speed as I can find.
I actually didn't start playing my Wizard until today. Totally loving Frozen Orb! Now just to really dig into the Wizard class since pre-patch I just leveled one to 60 and stopped.
I have always loved the Demon Hunter. I voted Demon Hunter on before 2.0 release, but I voted Witch Doctor on after 2.0 release because that is the only class I have tried out so far. I will probably change my opinion later when I have tried more things, but in reality, the Demon Hunter has always, always has a certain charm that just tickles me in the right place
Played WW/Hota Hybrid, Wep Throw, 2H Rend, Frenzy Tank (release).
Post: Barb
Playing WW (wind shear), Hota/Stun build, Boulder Toss spec,
I love the Barb and even after the Wrath changes hes still easily the best class imo. WW wind shear is amazing and words can't describe how insane Boulder toss is... can't wait for March 25th.
Imo the people that abandoned the barb are scrubs and were only a Barb because infinite Wrath was broken. Ive been a barb when we did nothing but Frenzy tank with a shield on release and Ill be a barb until they delete the class.
DH was the first class I played at release and he is still my favorite and my main post 2.0, but I have started a brand new wizard and I'm having a blast! (pun intended)

That's awesome. Honestly i've never been able to play barb past like a couple levels. Always felt clunky to me in comparison to Monk. Witch Doctor was always a good friend of mine though, even if he is super squishy and has that annoying squat. Why oh why cant he just stand straight up like a normal person?

I love how different the Barb and the Monk are. imo those are my number 1 and 2 classes in the game atm. They both play completely different from one another. It's very similar to the Barb and Sin in D2. I love when i can roll a melee class and they aren't copies of one another. Barbs all big, slow and powerful and the Monk is all flash and speed... its awesome.
As for the WD... Man, I don't know. I really hope Blizz plans on adding a legit minion class to the game because as cool as the WD is he still feels like a Caster/Pet druid from D2... its not the same, we need a real minion master class.
Well i think part of the problem is minion classes are very passive and fit a specific niche of players. With the WD, you can have pets and such and still have the extra oomph to your character that makes you feel like you're more than just a group of pets. People like to see big numbers, and it's hard to make a class that the revolves around having a small army...but still is balanced in terms of survivability, damage, and fun. It'd be like playing starcraft in a diablo game. It could be done im assuming, but then you'd have either a very OP class thats able to survive purely off having minions do all the work...or a very under powered class that without it's minions can't function. Both of which i believe would ultimately end up being very passive. The problem with just reintroducing the necromancer is the poison part of it was already kind of given to the Witch Doctor in a lot of forms. Again, Blizzard could likely implement a necro class or such that has the ability to have a very pet centric build, but i feel it would be quite passive. Unless blizzard included a way for the pet class to be somewhat like 0dogs for WD was.
I actually didn't start playing my Wizard until today. Totally loving Frozen Orb! Now just to really dig into the Wizard class since pre-patch I just leveled one to 60 and stopped.
lol I'm completely the opposite. While i still love my Wiz, my barb has become my new main. lovin my boulder toss build and seeing these 25m crits.
I love the changes to the wizard, but the barb really feels like new territory now that the solution is no longer spin2win. The last two years, any time I played him, I felt bad because I wasn't running this build, but I am now liberated from this guilt!
