How quickly things are forgotten - Solo Greater Rift Summary Per Class

i wouldn’t even reply to him , he/she is just trying to rank up on the forums so all the things he/she writes is all anyways

I am just trying to provide data to put conversations in perspective. I realize that advocates for underperforming classes want their favorite classes buffed. As Free can attest, I have stated in more than 10 posts that barbs (and monks) should be buffed. I have said that again in this thread.

If anyone takes my posts to mean that I feel that barbs should not be buffed than they have misunderstood what I said or I was not clear enough in my writing. I have in fact proposed to buff all character classes (excluding wizards). The biggest buffs in my proposal (outlined in another thread linked below) are for barbs. I want to see game balance for ALL classes. Intra-class parity is a much more difficult issue.

In this proposal every barbarian build would be buffed by ~11.6 greater rift levels. Every monk build by 10.7 greater rift levels. Every crusader build buffed by 6.6 greater rift levels. Ever demon hunter build buffed by 6.5 greater rifts… Etc…

I am not sure how to make my point that any clearer that I want barbs and monks to receive a massive buff for class parity. Other classes will get much more modest buffs excluding wizards the current to class.

See:

Achieving Better Solo Balance Across Classes: Outside the box proposal

Goal: Have each class in the 138.3 range relative to the average top 40 solo grift clears worldwide using the current era data at diablo3ladder. Using monks as an example (Current 127.6 average), they would need an increase of 10.7 greater rift levels. In this scenario, no class would be nerfed and all build for a given class would benefit with the same gain in solo greater rifts without having to having to buff a multitude of skills/bonuses/items. Facts: There is a 17% difference in monster…

Also in another thread, I did present data for the top 10 season 17 solo. This includes data about legendary gem levels, paragon levels, and hours played. I am sorry that I can not include all this data together in a single post. I suspect it would put some of the concerns aside.

Season 17 Solo Grift Top 10 Data

You do know, if I were the developer, I would buff barbs and monks (and nerf wizards). By doing that everyone would be within 4 greater rifts rather than the current spread of 12. Sometimes it is easier to nerf an outlier than buff 6 classes.
