Got a Druid to 100 before the season and a Rogue into the 70's with Barb and Sorc to 50. Barely played Necro as it has never been my type of class though played them all in D3.
I enjoy the Druid and Rogue the most and probably lean to the Druid because I like being a bit tanky since I'm not really that skilled. I have tried three different Druid builds overall and they have all been fun in their own way. I feel like the Rogue is similar as far as the build variety.
My season Druid is in the 70's. With the Aug 8th patch I may want to play Sorc as I always enjoy chain lightning type builds and that is getting some positive changes that may be worth trying. Originally planned to go with a Rogue next.
Anyway, I started the season with Lightning Storm after Pulverize before the season. I then at level 50 switched to the seasonal poison creeper landslide build. I should have just started with it since it is just a seasonal build. Plan is to get it to 100 and then start another class.
I think in future seasons I may focus on builds for classes that are only for the season or appear to be. But if I had to choose so far I really enjoy Druid the most with the Rogue a close second. Hoping the changes to Sorc and Barb elevate them as well.
I've been leveling with Shred and Poison Creeper. Would you recommend switching over to Landslide?
At this point, landslide is just too reliable. You can start running it by level 15, and it morphs into one of the more powerful endgame builds (Subterranean Creeper). It's also shockingly easy to gear into. The terramote/creeper interaction gives you access to assured crits, and higher damage than you should realistically have at low level. Which is a shame since landslide is an incredibly boring playstyle.
Pulv/CocaineBear is also pretty easy to get into, and will perform decent even before you get the uniques. I dropped landslide for Pulv for leveling, but pulv does have a weakness in having awful single target.
Thanks, I'll check it out. Was there a guide you were following?
Late to a response, but I agree. Getting the main aspect so early would have made elevating eith it great. Instead I had some learning curve with it by switching at level 50. It is fun. Less tanky than Pulverize was. Some of that may be some of the overall nerfs the game got though. But you end up with everything in your face since you want to pull everything towards you with your ultimate. Just timing is probably an issue for me as I said I'm not skilled.
But the build is fun and worth playing.
