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 mained druid in pre, and while I enjoyed it enough, it was annoying having pretty much all of the build diversity locked behind unique rng. Similarly, while I enjoyed HotA barb, the fact that literally no other build is appealing makes that a non-starter.

So consequently I'll be going with necro for S1. Sever, spear, surge, and lance are all solid builds not locked behind uniques (though they can absolutely benefit from them), so I'm covered both from boredom and balance changes.
