A necro in your least?!? Different strokes I suppose.
Don’t like class skills so much, more a melee guy not a summons guy.
I have all the classes, the two I play the least on are assassin(who seems to suck at everything), and druid(who can now have all summons but the spirit wolves are so lackluster that I benched him again until spirit wolves get magic damage added to their arsenal).
I don’t think enough people see the power of ridiculously powered teeth. It is by far one of my most versatile classes.
assassin is so least played you forgot about her.
it’s the melee mechanics. nobody liked the combo system, it’s too slow and clunky for diablo. Devs failed hard with it.
but the trap system is pretty awesome, keeps her afloat.
I definitely remember not caring for the charges, the one thing I liked about the assassin was the first time I put on bartucs and had her all looking cool. Reminded me of wolverine but looks could only keep me playing her for so long.
honestly feel like it should operate at least on the power level of the lightning melee zon since in a way the assassin trees are somewhat modeled after her.
The elemental claw skills should also be changed to a high proc chance imo. 75% at level 20.
get rid of the combo system.
Also give Kick synergies coinciding with the elemental claws, so kick could proc the elemental claws on kick.
For me Necromancer. They are woefully underpowered unless you like pvp.
I’m kind of a long term but casual player. Oddly, the sorceress was the last character I got into. It never clicked with me. I’ve always played a bowazon as my main and a pally when I wanted a change of pace. Barbarian was my third favorite followed distantly by druid, necro, assassin and sorceress. I started a sorceress a couple of weeks ago and I’m loving it. She is lvl 78 in Act 3 Hell so far. Orb/FB.
I’m honestly not even sold on that. Watched Llama do a bunch of trav runs on a barb. Frankly by the time you cleared and Horked I could do 2 runs on a Pally. It’s probably a lot closer than people think. Except the pally can also do a heck of a lot more other things.
Sounds about right. Sorc/Pala/Zon are the 3 most powerful PvE classes after all.
Horker has 70 % chance for double drop which is very good in solo, since you only have 30 % chance of no drop… has a solo player horker is way better, but it drop fast as players count get higher since the chance for no drop will get lower and the horker dmg is no where close to a Hdin in P7.
True, but the the kill speed is slower, and the hork process itself does take some time. It also causes the weird issue where you can’t even see all the drops so you actually need to listen to the audio.(nope) I mean it’s probably overall a bit faster, but not by enough to make me sink that much effort into a dedicated character just for that when I could just play a hammerdin/sorc and do so much more with it.
I’ve at least beaten normal with everybody except a barb. Furthest I’ve ever been is hell act I. I can never get a barb past act ii normal before i get bored.
The skills arent really any good until 40+ so that is a reasonabke view. Minimum level for max frenzy is 44, and it needs to be max. You have sacraficed battle orders and all else to do that though.
Assa druid are the 2 least played to my eye.
I love Barb since they can dual wield so many weaps. Gives you a lot of neat options
Assassin is now a beast pve and even more so pvp.
Fire Druid is plenty of fun and can easily clear Hell solo but anything past P1 in Hell difficulty is a no-go.
Using a skill rotation to cover the screen in perpetual fire is entertaining.
There is no way that many bad players play d2… SC Maybe? definetly not on HC.
Druid is one of the best starter toons for people that don’t use JSP or Map reveal.
Fissure leveling is OP and you can switch to Wind druid for late NM and hell with very little gear.
I would guess least played is Zon because you need decent gear to kill hell cows in P5+
I would say Zon or Barb, you dont see many barbs anymore outside of Horking and trav running.
Zon is one the most played classes. And what do you have from fast leveling when you reach endgame.
For me druid is still not good. You have a lot of ele skills but they have hit randomness or awful cooldowns. In higher player settings is just sh…
