Devs, if you read this, please, make also one button builds. Not all players want to play six button piano. For me, it’s too hard to make a rotation of six buttons and pay attention to the cooldowns. Prefer just to spam one button and relax. And I’m sure, I’m not alone here. Don’t lock us on strict six button builds. Let the player choose their playstyle.
You can get kind of close with the Necro.
2 buttons for your summons you can basically ignore when they’re up.
2 Buttons for curses you can use at the start then ignore for most fights
1 Button for a spender.
1 Button for a generator… if they’re is late game items that generate for you, you can then ignore this one after it kicks in.

Yes. I just did respec my Necro, and actually did 1 button build. Without using corpses, curses, spenders, ultimate, nothing. Just 1 generator and minions that can kill all the bosses, butchers, elites in seconds without even looking at a screen. But I think, this will be nerfed/changed on release.

I absolutely second this.

They need to add 2-4 more skill slots - otherwise gameplay just isn’t fun

For me the opposite is the case, spamming 10 buttons in no fun at all and gets quickly annoying.

In D3 you dont have 1 button builds. You have it in D2 and PoE (some aura skills you use once haf hour does not count).

the last build i did in S28 of D3 was just suck build does free blood surges, bone armor/curse are press once and forget they are on ur bars, than legit just hold down mouse button 90% of any run you do… how is that not a 1 button build…
The only 1 button skill I know was the dog bomber and this build doesn’t exist anymore, I regularly play diablo 3 and always make an other build I don’t know of any other 1 button skill then and the one you were doing (which I never played). Diablo 3 is made the way that you have to use all of your 6 skills.
the last barb build i played was use 2 CDs on CD and spam hammer smashing button 90% of the time…i havent played a single D3 build (all be it limited amount of play) where the best build for xyz class didnt come down to 1 button 90% of the time with buff/debuff filler 10% of the time

Who is this game for?
Blizz: “lets make it harder with more depth and return to the dark roots of Diablo”
Corporate: “build it on a console then port it to pc”
Casuals: “make one button builds, make dungeons a circle with no backtracking, turn down the amount of ccs and let me skip as much of the game as possible because in the FOUR DAYS we’ve had beta I’ve already decided I’m not going to try and overcome any of the puzzles or obstacles for gearing, skill level and pushing higher difficulties. Let me play broken builds I found in the beta it’s just how I play and have fun!”
Blizzard caving: “there shouldn’t be any situation where you have to “get gud”. Unless you’re a barb, or a rogue, or a druid. We knew there would be outrage if we didn’t at least attempt to lean towards making the game for hardcore players, but unfortunately you’re also going to have super consistently easy to play classes in the game. So when you reach nash equilibrium in pve or pvp because 2 good players are both playing game theory optimum strategy, even though it’s a lot harder for the barb to play at the same level as a sorc, the best you can hope for is we do balance it. And out of the 5 mistakes they could have made playing their “made for casuals build” you’ll have to account for 10 possible mistakes you could have made to keep up. Hope you like our crossover of casual and hardcore playstyles 
”
Everyone else who was looking forward to the original promise and pvp players: “Can we possibly have a pc focused ui, more interesting dungeon layouts, one more button just for ultimates and some semblance of balance in pve and pvp so we can play the game and it still be interesting for the thousands of hours we plan to?”
Everyone else: “Shadap hardcore! This game is not for 1%ers or pvp players why can’t it be easier and I break the game more and no one care about my broken class and we sell more copies on console so I can pad it up for an hour with my bud every other month and the combat be easier even though I’m never even going to touch pvp, pvp players are trash tier human beings that don’t deserve to grind for thousands of hours and practice for thousands of hours because that’s how they have fun only my broken easy casual one button playstyle should absolutely be S tier!!!”
Did you not play the beta it’s already built around a single builder and spender strat JESUS this game has no direction does not know what lane it is in and instead of being amazing for the players that will care the most that wanted a deeper, harder, more fair Diablo. It will please no one and be stuck somewhere in the middle.
Also casuals with their broken builds: “I’m absolutely not going to be humble about the fact I know I’m using every shortcut to be tested as little as possible, do as much damage as possible, skip as much as possible but then still rub it in everyones face and act like they are bad at the game and there’s actually nothing broken or exploity with my class or strategy I’m just playing the game and am better than all of you OH guys LOOK another legendary dropped wow I deleted that boss in 5 seconds, how long did it take you

I do think players should make builds not devs…

Just because there are 6 buttons doesn’t mean you need to use all of them. You can always design builds to only have one active ability you press and maybe a second ability depending on what you want. Necromancer is a great example where you can rely on minions providing a lot of power so you can have one button you mainly use. These builds may not be the strongest but they are certainly possible.
I hate one button builds. I’m playing a crusader in D3 and all I do is spam one button, it sucks pecker and the thing is, I have no other choice but go with the one button, because I don’t have the gear to do anything else. I hate that.
I’m struggling with a druid right now and I LOVE the fact that I have to dodge and use different abilities not just to kill stuff, but to control the battlefield so I don’t die. The last thing I want is to end up like Diablo 3.

i wanna be able to hold down right click and spin forever while yelling obscenities.
maybe later lol
You mean like Frenzy Barb with passives only build and thorns armor?
I think there needs to be versatility for sure. we have seen only a snippet of what legendary things will be in the full game and the unique items will feature somewhat broken unique modifiers compared to the legendary modifiers.
Spin-to-win barb is my go to on the beta and at level 25 barely maxed out i have ground stomp for a stun and that places an earthquake on the ground, 3 shouts for movement speed and fury generation, durability and tankiness and damage. I basically just hold right click and then press 1 2 3 4 to shout and stomp. its not complicated, it’s the mindless grinding headspace I like to visit in nostalgia of diablo 3: music + right click with the occasional button smash.
from what i see other classes have 1 click abilities and perhaps not as many to make a sustainable build but with the full game we can assume they will approach the unique modifier with the idea of “warcry throws out a burst of… dealing damage” or “every 5 seconds frost armour is active cast frost nova” this is something that makes a passive buff throw out damage and it makes aura builds and shout builds viable for solo play.
having more than 6 skills i disagree with because meta would be too all over the place and low budget players would be at a disadvantage if they dont have additional buttons on their system and mouse ect. the fact that you can skill things and not use them makes me assume you’ll be able to skill something not on the hotbar and future items in the game will allow that ability to be cast through unique and legendary affixes. this will make it more 1 click orientated.
i don’t think it needs to be requested because i think they’ve already got it planned 
i took too long typing and you turned my mini essay into a 1 sentence thing. dust devils are still a thing and fury reduction is a thing. this is definitely plausible in the late game.
