Less damage, have to misplay horribly to get yourself killed. Blast shield is a ridiculous circuit breaker and there's all manner of free stats floating around between demo and soldier.īattlemage is the baby's DK. There is a niche pierce SnB setup but it requires specific gear to function well.Ĭommando is amazing, though it will be outshined by others in the SnB department. Tactician lends itself to ranged builds, bulky ones at that.

It doesn't have ridiculous damage output but you need to be clueless/watching netflix/intentionally standing in bad to get yourself killed. Witchblade is a no frills physical damage monstrosity. Of Soldier builds.ĭeath knight has a set that can be deterministically farmed (Krieg), rightfully making it a popular option. Innate tankiness and free stats gives you a jump start on capping resistances in ultimate (and putting your stunres in a good place). Point it out and the details can be dredged up)īuilds with soldier in it have high durability returns for low skill and low gear. Planning to try out Spellbinder next, though I do hear that Arcanist isn't in the best of spots atm, but who knows, I might love it.Generally speaking (Did I miss stuff here? Yeah it's a summary, not a graduate thesis. Personally haven't had the chance to try many other combos so far, but usually for, my type of "fun", I start over completely and level a new char frequently on HC and I've tried these out so far. Purifier works, tougher to start with but doable. People advocate a lot for DK going for the Kreig set, I personally enjoy something Shieldbreaker instead cause I can completely respec into something else if I want to. Primal Strike into Savagery vindicator is fairly good, might not do everything you want at endgame, but it's great for the campaign. Shieldbreaker overall is very good due to high regen, lots of defensive options and it also has the benefit of build variety (EoR, Aegis, mines/cocktails, can do DW but that's probably not a good starter, ranged). I've had no issues running a Cold or Pierce DW Blademaster starting fresh this patch.

If you've played pet builds in SC and have a good grasp on them, go for it.Īs a starting character I can recommend a lot of things, that work for me at least. I'd say it depends on what your comfortable with.
