Which class is best to soloing bosses?

Getting to 25 as a druid felt a little stressful during boss fights. I don’t want to feel this ever again. What should I main in June?

Sorcerer

I never liked mages play-style.

Wudijo has a video with the Rogue.

P.S. Sorry, I misread the Q as if asking about the World bosses.

Druid and Barb cannot reach their fullest potential in the beta so that’s why they feel bad.

Otherwise, just play whatever but if you want the best experience in the beta. Play Sorcerer.

How is marksman rogue vs bosses?

This is not a class I played. I just saw the video on Youtube. Check it for more details.

Necro with pets is pretty great, we’ll see if it gets nerfed tho.

I’ve been doing well with Rogue soloing. If you look up “best solo class” Rogue is always dead last but they are actually rather tanky due to a couple skills:

Siphoning Strikes gives 3% life per crit, it activates constantly and is useful for ranged or melee, for bosses with no adds I get more out of Rapid Fire than melee, but Poison Trap or Smoke are useful if you wanna stick to melee since the boss will remain fairly still.

You can also run melee Rogue, Flurry with the passives and Puncture with the passive that splits the projectile and makes enemies vulnerable. So you go in, use Puncture once, then Flurry to spread the Vulnerable status, and Flurry heals you hitting the vulnerable targets.

Boss fights are a joke on Druid if you are using a certain build. But everyone wants to shapeshift or summoner build so… yeah. I had a pain point around 15-20 but once I got a few aspects with some defensive mods that was a wrap.

I was able to solo every dungeon easily with a summoner necro.
Druid I struggled without help.

Necromancer, 7-9 skellies (depend of you have the legendary that give +2 skeleton mages), curse and corpse explosion with all the corpse spawn abilities, can nuke a boss in seconds without much needing of kiting and without to rely with crappy mechanics like fortitication (Sorry barbs and druids).

Every class can do it and i think every class has some way to kill dungeon bosses in seconds if equiped and played in the best way possible. Saw some streams with Sorc under 5 second times, some Barbs to when they started with full Fury and no CD’s. Rogues take a bit longer because they are more DPS then burst style. Necro OP what else to say? Druid might have a hard time because the earth spell playstyle isn’t working well with bosses.

Not Barbarian. I tried that first and really struggled with the various boss mechanics. You need to get into close range of the boss or adds, and there is just too many things to dodge or area effects that you to avoid standing in. Barbarian has few move mechanics, you can get in quick depending on the build, but then not be able to get out again without taking a lot of hits.

I switched to Rogue after the Barb hit 23, and it was such a different experience. I played the melee variant and the Rogue has multiple options to get in and get out of melee range, or attack from ranged (with both melee and ranged skills). The bosses I struggled with in T1, dying multiple times with the Barb, I could one shot in T2 as the Rogue.

I really loved the Puncture ranged melee capability. Also, the rain of arrows aspect can modify that, so you get these random pools of death raining down while encountering mobs. Hope that doesn’t change because it was really fun.

sorc easily beats all content compared to all classes.

There’s one area that I agree with him, in that you need to view it as realistic gear come the game release, whereas the beta has a buffed up legendary drop rate.

I’m play as if I’m not going to get any legendaries to 50, so if that’s the case, which class is the fastest, and that’s where I think Sorc is the most powerful as it stands. They have multiple powerful builds that don’t rely on aspects. And they also have speed (looking at you necromancer).

Storm Strike/Lightning Storm/Hurricane. Everything else in passives to increase Nature Damage/Lightning Damage/Spirit Generation. You’re welcome. You are now just as broken as a Rogue.

Hands down wizard! Sorry, Sorcs!

Just put down Hydra and you’re already doing more damage than Barb’s ultimates :smiley:

With less access to legendries, I would expect most classes would need to run dungeons for the class aspects. On one hand, I can understand not being able to continually pull legendary aspects off of gear, but only being able to do that once is a bit of a pain. With a wider world, it will be interesting to see how they distribute skills.

That works for aoe melting sure but in boss fights single target is weak.

I’ve had good success in boss fights with it as well, but it’s very important to make sure you can refill your spirit regen in 3-4 attacks with those spirit regeneration passives. It enables the spamming of lightning to a degree that does DECENT single target damage. You will never be a sorc though sadly with the current talents anyway.
