The absence of RR (except maybe soldier’s War Cry) is an issue, but not major problem from my point of view. I tried physical FW/Devastation, elemental and aether melee/ranged builds and all of them were Ok for at least campaign content on Ultimate. Non-physical battlemage builds could be not easy class for starters.
Depends on what do you mean by “viable options”. Believe me, I had a lot of experiments with Warlock builds and even with weird builds as well.
I just pick damages and styles top classes,according to my experience and these combos lack mentions.
I am not saying they’re not viable,just that there’re much better options.
Like what aether caster is better as Defiler,than Spellbinder or even Apostate.
For Krieg build,Death Knight outperforms Battlemage.Warlock is usually outclassed by Mage Hunter or other combos.
So my idea was to help new players makes rational choice.I personally play with BM and Lock and by any means am not advocating to not pick them as classes .
Defiler is tragic for lvling. Necro has no support for fire whatsoever and aether conversions are only attainable at endgame. @Nery This should be the first paragraph of your guide before “Introduction” - “Stay away from defiler”
Wolfoverclocked did a stream on class tier lists a while back, in which Ceno also chimed in
Their tier lists may be of help here, because they rate classes on strength and diversity in their opinions
.
with that
