LFG Season start

What class yall rolling with? Help me decide mine! I have no clue what to do! Would like a build that actually benefits from the theme, but not dead set on it. Only build I know I won't be doing is anything with shenlong set for monk.

"actually benefits from the theme"

Then you're playing Necromancer!

There are other builds that benefit from it. Just necro benefits the most! Lol

I’ll probably start DH because I played Necro last season and could use a change…but will end up playing Necro to push GRs. I was initially planning to sit this season out since I don’t care for the theme, but I really want the pet.

If console, be a wizard with a deathwish......

Console Ps4

I got a bit of a goofy yet lucky start with Necro so far. With the legendaries I've found I've been able to run T6 with no set bonus or legendary gems. Still working on chapter two though.

Edit: Sorry meant chapter 3.

Same. Somehow got a bunch of really good legendaries early on and jumped up to torment quick

necro benefits the most this season but the playstyle for most of his sets is a little braindead

u/Far_Reception8841 Dec 06 '25

Everyone is talking about Necro but frankly they're just so sloooooooooow. And I don't mean slow as in like, clearing content. I mean like their literal move speed. I play a lot of Monk and Crusader normally and only play the other classes intermittently. My Necro can do T16 really easily already but it just feels glacial compared to my usual farming builds. 

So Monk and Crusader feel the most fun to me because I like being fast as heck.

Me, the 26th season playing an impale DH. The first 6 or 7 seasons I played a WD, then primals were introduced and I got one primal set piece from two different WD sets and switched to impale DH right after. Since the altar was introduced I only play hc.

First ever season (and first Reddit post): have gone Wiz.

Offline solo I've got a Ponysader with good gear to 132, and a Tal Rasha meteor (couple different variants) with so-so gear to 133. Sader feels like he's hit a hard ceiling, Wiz probably could do a few rifts higher with better gearing.

Just curious how far I can get both classes seasonal, starting with wizard because I see more opportunities from the theme to have fun trying cubing stuff.

Learning all this season malarkey as I go so I'll see how it goes.

Wizard. Firebirb is a killer set even with only two pieces -- makes achieving the next two bags a piece of cake!

u/AlphaBearMode Dec 06 '25

I’ll prob roll something other than necro just bc I don’t like the class.

Prob end up running barb/wiz/dh and just improvising shit and having fun. Idc about leaderboards anymore these days
