Hey guys, was considering diablo 3 on new season. Truth be told I have not played any seasons before due to not liking the format of resets. I just chill on the same wizard I have had since launch in 2012.
But this new season with paragon cap makes me interested. But I’m not sure what to play? I know Demon hunter has always been broken (At least until they buffed wizard to make even a casual noob solo a 130 greater rift like me), but what class would you play for purely fun, while also being good?
Monk is the class that’s remained the most fun to me for the longest duration. Witch doctor comes in second. Barb is the one that I’ve really tried but just nod off playing it.
I love how nearly every post was a different class.
For me certainly Crusader, but I also played all other classes.
Demon Hunter seems to be the best balanced class though. All sets feel powerful for DH, while most other classes have sets being only a remnant of the past
I have played WD a lot years ago. It’s great that the class gets some love. I’m just not sure that I would fancy running around like a chicken on speed!
Any class is fun in this game. It depends purely on your preference. Want to shoot bows or use knives? DH. Prefer the mage? Wizard. Classic hack-n-slash, Barb. Crazyness? WD. Minion army? D2 or POE, sorry.
If you like to spin to win dh god or ww rend barb. Wizz is very powerfull atm with meteors and Necromancer with blood nova is powerfull. WD and Crus are a bit of a niche classes atm, but can still be fun. Lod bell monks can also be fun and very fast.
Maybe look up some builds on youtube and decide from there.
Any class that has complexity in endgame but beginner friendly could be fun. Given, you have had a long break from the game I’ll say Witch Doctor, Crusader and Demon Hunter be the best for a fresh start.
Doctor and Hunter can always create distance in combat by mobility or pets, and 'sader is just an old school tank that can shift between long range caster, melee or pets. Leveling a fresh character will always be boring but I really suggest Witch Doctor as they offer some wicked skill modifiers until you are level 70.
Other classes sure are fun but either those have to endure massive punishment and stay on their toes (ie. Barb and Monk) or switch between ranges on the fly and commit for long (ie. Wiz and Nec). To say the least, I believe those are rather competitive classes, and less focused on being fun or surprising. Their skill modifiers sure can be exciting (especially Nec) but their downsides (commiting mobility, cooldown dependent fragility, determined cast array, burst damage in cycles… ) can not be easily covered by main themes and require you to wander for a solution abit at endgame.
My down the line suggestion is, after reading posts here, go out there and try a Challenge Rift to see if you like that random class challenge dungeon or not. Next week try another and go for elimination. If it is a Sader, Doc, Hunter or other then you’ll see if you like them or not.
I like DH for the bang, and I like Necro for his style and also for his explosivity.
I haven’t really played WD because he tends to make my back ache.
I haven’t really played Barbarian because he keeps spitting hockers and spitting hockers is so very gross. He spits like every 5 minutes. So gross…
I haven’t really played Crusader because he calls the demons and monsters he kills “friends” and that is just super dumb… to call them friends…
Wizard is pretty cool too but his arrogance can get annoying real quick.
