I’ve tried builds 2 builds with each class mentioned in topic. Each build was a top tier build from s26. I tested at t16 for speed and then at t100 for a stress test. Paragon 900 min. All gear was Ancient and Caldesann’s Despair was applied at a 500 min.
Crucible rolling and getting legendaries just added more RNG fatigue, especially going for the Ancient rolls that only have a 1/3 chance of getting the one you want.
Outside of set changes, the seasonal bonus hasn’t really added much to the play experience outside of having a few more speed builds to farm with. Swapping out skills for an additional one (ie Fist of Heaven {s26 LOD}, Locus Swarm for Gargantuan {s26 Arachyr, Poison Carn and Helloth buidls}), didn’t add much to clear capacity and often created more awkward bulk for gameplay.
The one exception has been the Barb whirlwind.
Solo and group play has been dramatically increased with the lack of DR for the pull.
If each class had a aoe pull (no DR) as part of one of those choices, I believe it would open up a lot more enjoyment in solo and group play. The WD version doesn’t even come close to compare. Constant clustering or a generalized DPS upgrade (like barbs have) seems to be a good template to base things off of.
