Only benefits 1 classes popular dps spec. Plenty of LOD builds can make use of the seasonal theme.
Also, people put too much stock in CoE, when there are other legendaries they can take that benefit them more in terms of damage… its a 40-50% damage gain overall, and some classes have other items that would benefit them more. People will find out different builds and ways to use the cube as time goes on. But nobody is currently looking outside of the “main variants” of builds.
I’m wondering if it will mix up pet builds. I can just see the pet speeds with 3 Tasker and Theo equipped, plus one on the character. Or 3 Cloak of the Garwulf on a Demon hunter for 9( 12 if one equipped) wolves. Really considering running a Marauder Demon Hunter this season.
Still only one of each. You could however, have a Tasker and Theo, Jiren’s Mask, Cloak of Garwulf, etc. since you normally only have a single armor slot.
Well, off the top of my head, more LOD classes can make use of 2 weapons in cube for better uptime on their major CDs, such as Messerschmidt’s Reaver, or In-geom. Personally, I plan on using 2 LOD crusader builds in season 20. One for GR pushes, the other for speed farming (GRs/bounties/regs)
The biggest issue with this seasonal theme? Is that people can’t think for themselves and rely on cookie cutter d3planner/youtube builds, instead of just joining PTR and testing stuff out. Let alone USING d3planner themselves to create a build and then simulate it. Or think “hmm, if i take DR here, here and here, I should be able to survive while also doing XYZ to do damage” People are lazy with this game and want to complain about the seasonal theme, while also doing ZERO prep on their own to figure out what they can do to modify their build, or play a different build and push it to its limits. Stop focusing on the leaderboard and trying to place top 5. You’re not gonna. Bots are going to beat you every.single.time. Just like every other season. Just enjoy the game and use the armory to switch between sets for what you’re doing. It’s not hard to use your brain.
Anyone can play the same class in a GR, then before you end it in town, use the armory to switch to a farming variation for pools or some othe reason by using the armory. I regularly switch from several class/build variations when playing. Most players don’t take advantage of using the armory for all of what it can do. You can’t change classes, but certainly use multiple builds from the same class.
No, it’s called you don’t have an active account. It would state that it’s on private. Why are you on forums complaining about a game you don’t actually play?
I’ll give you a hint, because I’m not going to share the build I’ll be using… but CoE is easily replaceable if it’s in your build. As well as a lot of other legendaries that don’t carry as much weight/value as other potential options. Think along the lines of CD reduction weapons, DR armors, dmg increase things… some stuff outside of season 20 is just “filler because nothing better can go in X slot in the cube” but there ARE better options for a variety of builds…
S20 theme is basically you lose “damage or toughness” for another “damage or toughness”. LOL. Whoever pitched this theme at one of their D3 development meeting should never be allowed to pitch another idea honestly.
