1. monk can solo push pretty high, but monks' builds for t13 farming are pretty weak now. Mb they are OK for new players, but much weaker compared to wiz and dh.

2. monk is the only healer - it provides active healing with any skill used dew to Epiphany(Smoothing mist), he has 4 passive mantras(read auras) and 1 active mantra(usual choices +10% as / +additional toughness and shields / +resistances and evasion), he has imbalanced Inner Sanctuary(15 AoE area with 55% dmg reduction for all party) and he also can reduce dmg of the mobs and buff dmg or his allies a bit.

3. in solo you can choose there are also range and melee combat builds. But as healer - monk is the best tank-support-healer

4. meta changes from patch to patch, 95% chance that support-barb and support-monk will be in meta in 2.6. Two other roles - we don't know, just for now it is WD as mob killer, Dh/Wiz as boss killer. But Necro can take any dmg role - we don't know how powerfull he is now)

5. wizard is the best for solo push, for keyfarming and for low lvl speed 80-90gr - where most people farm XP and loot. This setup is 3 dd wiz + 1 monk heal. Also - necro can take this speedfarm role too) will see.

wizard is better than any other class for solo speed runs in any single aspect

Xul the Necro was the first hero in HotS from Diablo universe that hadn't existed in D3 for that current moment, and now necro is close to release.

Few month ago Amazon was added into HotS, her video has a reference about Skovos Isles. I believe - she will be the next hero with her own pack) will see in future)

there was a small ban wave like a month ago if u noticed and watch leaderboards like I do

Sorry for offtop but - Hardcore is an easy mod of d3, if you are so "hardcore" why do you use cheat-death passive? lol this gamemode doesn't need such option - it's total clownage to play HC and be able to die, this HC only amulet too) And you are telling smth about better gaming experience?))) watch leaderboards for once, compare HC and SC - all HC records are done with HUGE STOCK of toughness and dmg. What is the interest to drop damage passive for cheat-death passive? to roll 1000vit on offhand instead of 8elite dmg, this "hardcore casuals" always make me laugh, they think they have known the game better)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) and when cheat-death procs they tp into town with wet chair under them.

To be honest if you want a cleaner place to play just switch to hardcore. I did that after getting 1300p this season on sc. And i won't ever look back. The difference between actually playing the game paying attention to everything on the screen and randomly pressing buttons is huge. The game feels less like a grinding bot fest where you become the bot yourself just doing stuff without thinking.

Sometimes is hard to tell which players are botting and which ones are dedicated. With the actaul power creep you can grind paragons fairly easily. I would completely ban all cow level exploiters though but i think they won't since you can't really tell who is doing that.

Very easy - just see who has 1500+ hours in season... that is 62+ full days of non stop gaming btw. Blizzard just don't want to

1500 Para plus? No Problem to reach that Para-level in a Season when you play with friends.
@topic same procedure as every season i predict botting threads after season start very soon :-) Why don't you just enjoy the game and play it without complaining about this issue the whole time? Or are you this kind of a power player that has ambitions to reach high leaderboard ranks?

1500 hours he said not paragons, and he is right for sure. 19 of 20 people with 1500 seasonal hours use bot.

Personally don't play season at all, pretty competitive in NS, and some bot users survived 5-6 latest banwaves somehow and closed higher than me - don't you think this isn't a problem?

Don't like the situation when developers do nothing about huge problem.

I'm 100% sure Warden can catch every single bot, but blizzard don't want to ban them all - it is the most unjust and unfair behavior for developers that I've even seen.

nevalistis always talks bs - "is not a bug", "mathematically correct choice" lol they can't even count from 1 to 10 corectly and after that are trying to substantiate bugs which are not able to fix

^^ Yeah, sockets are rolled) or do you think he play with unrolled rings)))))))

mb switch shadow belt for wh

lol site version of LB is bugged for half of the era

blizzard can't even fix their own site

have done 15 games today and got nothing - i mean no Leorics Phantom pet and no epic chest in HotS.

Thanks to blizzard EU community managers that haven't posted exact time for our region.

Looks like achievment will be added in HotS just after maintenance on the 14june

nice)

have diablo, valla and cassia) can buy another one) 15 games is pretty easy to do, good event.

I bet we must to thank the HotS development team, cos d3 team is a crowd of idiots

Yes, it is a bug but Blizzard wouldn't do anything about it.

For further clarification take a look at this link:

http://www.diablofans.com/blizz-tracker/topic/67361-a-word-on-spirit-barrage-phantasms

No is NOT a bug , if u read properly (not sure if people can still do it nowadays apparently...) they clearly state that the build is working as intented in all its complex iteractions.

do you really think that idiots from blizzard can imagine just for one second such a diffucult build with interactions like that?)) lol, ofc no, they did bluepost just to make some mad noobs calm down a bit.

LPH never lags, this is some kind of fairy tale. Area damage cause all lags and some skills like Black Hole.

The best way to evade lags is to play on right time on right server. Evenings are bad usually, but I haven't seen 90-100 seriosly lagging in this patch, playing from Russia - our ping is much worse than swedish.

Try to find good server, there are tools that show IP adress.

it is not new. WD zuni with fetish army used to kill himself and party members when sand dwellers use their sand circles) But these mob are super rare in this patch, previosly there were dozens of them in set of red zombies+entombed hulks, but now 2-4 on the hole floor, easy to skip them - they don't chase you, just borrow under ground again)

as for dune dervish - their reflect animation is much more easier to notice and stop hitting, so just practice.
