classes with build variety (lemmy.world)

I know it's early but I'm very disappointed in the build variety of barbarians so far. It's shout builds only because anything else is too weak to compete. Even found the unique chain pull axe but giving up a shout on the bar is simply not worth it. Anyway with the start of the first season I'd like a class with some variety to play around with different builds. Any recommendations?

Druid has decent variety, but it depends on what sort of comparisons you are making. For pushing the very highest of NM-dungeons there is going to be less variety, in all classes.

There's always one top build for solo pushing and that's fine but on the way there I'd like to switch it up sometimes. Maybe have some unique drop and build something around that. At some point a unique 2h sword for bleed builds dropped but the skill/weapon effect is so weak and clunky that it simply isn't worth it. Not even close. That's what I'm trying to avoid.

Yeah but for a lot of us that isn't the most important. But something to keep in mind for sure.

[–] forvirreth@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but I think that's where the difference is. What is build diversity? Even if there are a "best build for X" (pvp, NM dungeons, open world content) - likely those will be different builds, and thus you have achieved build diversity.

So its about what perspective we take when we talk about build diversity. Is it to have several builds that can do X content at the highest level from one class? is it for builds to do several avenues of content at a high competetive level?

Definitely. From what I can tell it's about being able to play more than one spec the main activities of choice. Which for 9/10 people is PvE.
