Season 1 builds thread (self.diablo)

Now that patch notes are out and the season is almost here, I wanted to start talking about what classes everyone is planning on playing.

Come share your experience with your build to help others decide if or not they should start with it.

Personally, I played a crackling energy sorcerer and that feels like such a bait by Blizzard since there aren't any good enough support items for it. With the two updates to spear and the unique, the build might be better now but is definitely two tiers below most of the meta spec builds.

I'm looking to play rogue or druid or barb in the season but druid and barb feel like walking around too much might be a pain. How was your experience with it?

I was planning on continuing my sorc even if they didn’t get any buffs because I enjoy the play style.

After the patch was live I entered a NM dungeon using the lowest sigil I had on me. I didn’t even complete the first objective. It was a complete bloodbath.

I might just stack defensive stats everywhere with a sprinkling of thorns so that I can stand and cry in a corner until people smarter than me can figure out if any of the gems make us semi-useful.

God knows our new “unique” doesn’t offer any hope. It actually provides us with a refreshing new way to die, teleport roulette!

Ultimately, I don’t know. I’ll probably slam my head against the wall with a chain-lightning sorc for a while like I’ve been doing since release. I’m a stubborn cow and I (stupidly) live in hope of a miracle.

Maybe I need to just ignore all of the paragon boards apart from the two lightning ones and just fill every single node. There’s some kind of big brain Da Vinci code shit in there somewhere, there must be…. Some kind of cheat code that makes sorcs not suck. It will be my mission to find it.

Sorc gems don't look good, my friend.

On a side note, I've been playing shock mage and only ever get lightning and shock stats on paragon and elsewhere, yet, my damage with cold seems to be higher than my damage with lightning and I can't figure out how. It's like blizzard subliminally trying to tell me that I should have been playing freeze mage all along. But that's something I played in the last D3 season so only other mage I'll play is a fake tal rasha meteor one (since those are the only items that seem to drop for me)

You might be right. They just buffed freeze too haha.
