I played through the entire campaign as a sorcerer. Love the sorcerer. Didn't touch the other characters. Now I'm trying the others out. The barbarian isn't wowing me. But the necromancer is so much fun. I especially like the exploding corpses skill and the domino effect when the monsters keep advancing into already dead ones. I didn't think I would like necromancers, but they may be my next playthrough or the Season 1 character.

What's your favorite characters?

I've only played Necro so far but once you get the right skills lined up it's soooo satisfying. I want to try barbarian next since that was my favorite in D3

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I'm loving my sorcerer. Level 66 now and I can pretty much blast through anything I want to do.

I've tried Barbarian and I really enjoy how... visceral the combat feels. Leaping off the horse to double ground slam and then start smashing your hammer and using deathblow constantly... everything just explodes.

Druid was interesting with the different pet types and a combination of melee and magic. Haven't gotten past level 20 or so with druid yet.

Necromancer is my second favourite. I really like the minion builds but I assume they'll fall off towards the upper levels just like previous games. Bone spear seems very strong, able to kill an elite in just a couple of casts.

I'm yet to try a rogue.

Surprised no one else has piped up about druid yet. Running around as an absolute wrecking ball, face tanking the Butcher while pushing, multiple fun and viable builds, great skill fx... I've taken Necro and Barb to T3 too and both are great, but damn if druid ain't it for me.

This is making me want to go back to Druid! Initially I started with the Druid, then my boyfriend wanted to change his class so I tried sorcerer. I really love the sorcerer, it’s so much fun, but shapeshifting was so much fun too!

I played a druid during the beta because I wanted to save the Necro for the full game. I had so much fun with the druid I decided to stick with it though! I'm not sure how viable werewolf is long term/end game but I'm level 55 and me and my buddy just cleared a T7 NM dungeon last night.

If the time comes and I start dying a lot or not holding my own in the DPS category I'll look up a better build

very interesting, just shows how different the experiences are with people :) i also mained Sorc and really enjoyed it although my biggest gripe was the survivabilty and that the resists are just bad. yes i can kill everything on screen within a second but if i am not carefull or laggy or unlucky i as well might be dead immediately :) but overall i agree sorc is fun.

Now i also played a Necro in Beta and again now as a second but only until 30ish because it felt so slow. By the style and the nostalgia its an amazing class but it just feels so clunky compared to sorc :/

then i played a Barb to 50 and i am just in love, honestly. Its so quick, with the leap also and has decent-ish damage compare to sorc but man is my barb tanky, i love it. I did a Worldboss on WT3 on lvl 50 , lol didnt even die once even though i was melee and dishing out the crit with WW. Man i love it. Now i decided i also have to try druid and rogue so i know how they are as well. Druid is 25 Rogue 30. Both are nice, nothing extreme so far. Although the rogues Flurrybuild with just simply constantly making everything Vulnerable is really amazing for a Group.

Fazit: Well i am still undecided what to play for Season 1. But damn D4 is good. Thank you Blizzard!

My bud plays barb and he's enjoying it too. We've just been wading through mob swarms and leaving behind mangled, bloody corpses.

I started as a Necromancer and felt weak going into the early 50s plus the blight corpse explosion is annoying…can’t see anything. Switched to Rogue and have absolutely loved it. Started trying out Druid and I’m not amazed yet but I’m still very early into it so I’ll see how it goes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is the blight CE the one that makes everything turn black? It's a great skill but yeah, it's annoying.

[–] ZeroDrek 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah that’s the one. It is a great skill but I hope they change the visuals at some point.

[–] Crackhappy 3 points 2 years ago

I am going max bleed on my barb and my god is it effective.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I actually play a rogue, but my bf plays necro. I didn't think they looked fun at first, but I'm insanely jealous of how his necro 1 shots bosses. Rogue has a lot of hits, but I've definitely not hit in the millions yet like his character does. I love my rogue, but I also wanna do the big crits 😆

I'm definitely going to play one in season 1. Their armor cosmetics are also super cool compared to rogue

[–] GortexGary 2 points 2 years ago

Rogue is fun. Highly CD dependent but they aren't too long and can melt things pretty efficiently.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Only played sorc so far. Like it and hoping when I get better endgame stats/gear I can craft some cool(we) builds.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

@CaptManiac only played necro so far but love it, the blighted ce doesn’t bother me. That usually means most stuff is about to die and I’m recharging my essence. Wanna try the other classes later though

[–] goodnessme 2 points 2 years ago

I am playing a barb as my first character. I leveled up as a rend/bleed/thorns barb which was okay but felt quite slow. I switched to whirlwind at level 50 and while I still have a long way to go to complete the build, it is already very effective at clearing as well as bossfights. That said, I am not sure yet as to what to play in Season 1. All classes are looking fun in their own ways.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I played the demo weekends as a sorcerer so I changed it up once the game came out. Now I'm playing as a druid and it's alright but I miss my sorc.

I don't want to start a second character yet since I'm still working through the campaign. I might roll up a sorc when season 1 comes out though.
