So with patch 2.0 recently and Reaper of Souls coming soon, a number of my friends have returned to the game. Most of us either stopped playing shortly after our first 60, or never really got into the game because no one else was playing; but since we're all back (including a few new players) a few of us have decided to start some new characters.
As I've been sitting here the past week twiddling my thumbs being unable to decide on a class, I'm just wondering what peoples' opinions are on a "best" class for playing in a group? What's that one class that you feel happy to see in a party?
Id say the less useful to me is barb, their team buff is mostly survivability which is not completely needed in most cases. I wouldnt say they are useless. Everyone else seems to bring noticable Damage buff, which is always welcomed. DH wolf, monk mantra of conviction plus sucking enemies into place, WD big bad voodoo and a wizard with slow time are on top of my list when it comes to who i want on my team. Stack all 4 and watch elite packs melt even on torment 6.
Since im a DH myself im gona say WD and Monk are mostly my logical allies of choice. They both play closer to the fight than me, they both have pretty solid CC and both increase my damage considerably while i increase theirs.
I dont think you should just pick which class to play on such informations, just try the classes and see who you love playing. considering how quick it is to level up now. Grouping people are more worried about if you are a useful player, all classes bring something in most cases, enough to not ever gimp the group.
Most classes now have some really good tools for groups. Wizards are probably the only class without team-wide buffs.
The DH have a sick new Active on their Wolf companion, gives +30% bonus dmg for 10 seconds to everyone. I'd rate Monks pretty high too. Auras, heals, invulnerability and Cyclone make for one badass tank that can make the life of DH/Wiz/WDs insanely easier.
