Sold a piece of gear I snagged, and I'm looking to make a class swap. As the rest of my monks gear is sold, I'll be upgrading farther, but for now I have roughly a $43/80M budget($43 is worth ~70-80M) and I'm unsure which class to play.
I dislike the playstyle of Wizard(the spam-stun idea), but outside of that I'm up for about anything. Would like to be able to efficiently farm MP3-4 with this budget.
I'd say DH is on a nice spot with the recent tweaks. Aura Sentry + Boar Companion + Gloom + Perfectionist is a pretty good defensive combo now and the DPS should be pretty good from 2 offensive-focused passives.
You can get average res all and armor and mostly offensive stats on gear, do decent dmg and still be able to tank a lot of stuff with those.
15% aura from sentry was subpar before but now that you can have 2 out, it's not that hard to always be in it, Gloom can have almost 100% uptime (from increased duration), and Boar works as a nice diversion (and boosts resistances).
You could give it a try, I'm pretty sure MP 3-4 is doable with 4-5 mil in gear, so you could just try it out and if it's not your thing, just sell the stuff and try another class. It's not gonna consume all your budget.
Since wizards and monks are out of the question...
I still say barbs are the cheapest to gear in terms of decent DPS and survivability. DHs are easy to gear, but with 80M you're not going to snag too great of a DPS-survival balance. Not entirely sure about WDs.

So: What class/build would you guys suggest?
Just quit my monk.
Sold his weapon about 15 minutes ago for 100M, so update this to be 140M/72M+$43. - DAT AH fee. ;;
