I pose this discussion because I genuinely hate using the monk. I finally tried out the LoN LTK a few weeks ago. It's cool, but I wasn't having fun. Even the zmonk, I just don't like using that build. If i play group PUG's I typically prefer using the zbarb. But if i need to go dps, I'll switch to the Lightning Wiz. And I would like the WD more if they had a built in skill that grants them immunity to knock back.
This season I went with HC DH and HC wizard. I died both times 2 lag spikes. However, I did get my guardian frame last week. So now I'm back in non seasons doing some test. I have played all classes and all META builds. So now I plan on creating a "play your way" build that can do a GR70 via the following classes.
My favorite classes came full circle back to Vanilla. I main a Barb and a Wizard in Vanilla. and those are the only two classes I feel like I have the most fun with.
So whats your favorite classes and builds? META or "Play your Way"
Hmn... I played every class so far. But definately the barb leads. Jumping, charging, whirling, crushing! Absolutly love the way of the barb. DH, Monk, Wiz, WD are very decent tho and it feels good to change play style sometimes to other class. Oh, btw... I hate crusader... it is so blank, boring, etc. Crusader is like the city of Westmarch
I've also played every class so far. But no matter how many times I go back to the WD, I just never seem to enjoy myself. The builds are plenty strong, and have interesting mechanics. But it just never seems to click for me. I really enjoy the DH and Monk playstyles though. And I'm curious to see where the Necromancer will fall on everyone's list. Especially once we can test out the sets, and class legendary items.
I have say wiz or barb is the most fun to play for me. I like monk/crusader but I've never found a build I enjoy playing and I just plain avoid wd/dh as I dislike the playstyle required for any higher level rifts.
I realize this is all really subjective based on personal preference, but that's the whole thread, so here's my two pence. From most enjoyed to least (in parenthesis favorite builds):
1. Wizard (pretty much any build)
2. Demon Hunter (pretty much any build except grenades and sentries)
3. Monk (pretty much any build)
4. Barbarian (Whirlwind or a WW/IK hybrid focused on whirlwind)
5. Crusader (Invoker or LoN Bombard)
6. Witch Doctor (Arachyr)
Necro? Not sure, probably between Monk and Barb, as it has some potential, but before I rank it I want to wait until it hits live servers.
I dislike the monk most. I'm really not a fan of the snapshot play style. It's not that I can't do it I just perform cranking the tunes up and melting faces. Staring at a buff bar isn't that much fun to me.
I didn't list Necromancer because it technically doesn't exist. It's not on LIVE servers. It's in PTR closed BETA. And based on the streamers and testers it's far from complete or even balanced. I will update the thread a month after the necro pack launches. I say month because people need to get a feel for the class. Rather than acting like "oh its amazing" because its a brand new class.
I honestly haven't found a class that I couldn't have fun with once I founds some abilities I really liked. That being said, Demon Hunter is my favorite. I find it has some of the best ways to combo attacks (like using Vault to get into the middle of a group, then using Fan of Knives to kill them all at once).
There are so many ways to play each of the classes that it's hard not to find a set that suits your play style. I, for instance, love insta-kills and rapid movement. In DH I can do that with the above mentioned abilities, with the Wizard I can do it with a number of Archon builds, and I've been able to find ways to do it with just about every class I've played.
Anyway, that's just a long way to say, there are no bad classes. It's pretty easy to figure out ways to have fun with all of them.
I just love this wide variety his skills offer. Too bad Blizzard fucked up his balance, so that many skills are just never used (Heaven's Fury, Phalanx Stampede, Blessed Shield, Condemn, FoH).
Least favorite: WD
Not a fan of pets, not a fan of his theme.
Yea. I like Hamerdin and LoN bomb build but they could bring back Srampede and Condemn or Heaven's fury or buff Fists of Heaven - all cool skills.
That's interesting. with in a few days the Favorite class shifted from crusader to DH. That would be cool if I can an actual value of how many people are voting. Granted this is a very subjective post.
crusader; what a worthless class. if you seriously made this class your main. you really love playing solo because no one wants this pos in their party.

My favourite class is Wizard, even though I don't like any of their sets (DMO is probably only one I'd consider playing). I typically play UE or Shadow DH instead if I want to do higher GR's.
As for least favourite. Definitely monk. I hate their skills and their sets.

Like i expected poor crus is "bad ass" favorite in d3 :-D

Split between Monk/Crusader as my favorite. Would be Crusader hands down, but Blizzard missed the mark with the Paladin feel IMO.
Least favorite has to be DH. Something about the way it plays that just doesn't click with me. /shrug
I really enjoy playing necromancer. The variation and strength of the skills is just overwhelming. Wd and crusader are booring to play.

Necro? Not sure, probably between Monk and Barb, as it has some potential, but before I rank it I want to wait until it hits live servers.
If I had to rank them:
Barb, WD, Monk, DH, Crusader, Wizard. I want to like the Wiz more, but I'm not a fan of Archon and I think it's essential to playing them well.
I definitely prefer play your way to meta, as I play almost exclusively solo.
Decided to play Monk for season 10 and I am enjoying it, but we'll see if I break through GR 70 if I'll switch after that.
