i tried stone burst with the new unique. not that strong, defense is lacking and having to stand still with the new bosses is suicide. the new unique really isn’t that strong. it doesn’t work with earth skills and having EM up isn’t that good in a world where 50%+ crit is easy to achieve. also the buff doesn’t refresh itself, so half of the time your build sucks.
then i tried poison boulder with GR. sort of works, but all the restrictions in our class dampen the fun.
i played shred last season. i’m not going to fall for that trap again. it sucked once you got to T3 and there were no buffs, so it’s gonna suck again.
i didn’t try cataclysm. played it last season. it was powerful, but also boring and the snapshotting was highly annoying. apparently snapshotting is even more annoying now. the only good build and it’s not fun to play.
