Yeah the patch notes I'm really looking forward to reading through as well - though I've been pouring over the screenshots posted in the Sigma thread.

For Barbarians I've surprisingly really enjoyed earthquake as a main ability. The range on it has been hilarious - if not comically large, and I've preferred it a great deal over Iron Spiral. That said, seeing already that stances can be bound to LMB is a big deal for me since I'd prefer the right clicks psuedo auto targeting when you hold it down. Sometimes there's just so much going on having to left click (even with shift held down) just doesn't cut it. That's just my opinion, but is what it is.

Either way, I'm super excited for the release - and it looks like a lot of new players like myself got drawn to Median for either the first time, or the first time in years based on posts I've seen in the threads lately. Big thanks to the devs for making such a great game even better, as well as congrats on your goals being realized with the release of a long term plan coming to fruition.

How likely are the current good/best build will work or still be good/best in sigma?

I've been only playing this past few weeks tom familiarize myself with median. I am however concerned about wasting time researching trying out builds if sigma can throw that all out of the window.

Hard to say. Major content patches usually alter the meta landscape, so don't be surprised if the current "best build(s)" get knocked down a peg or two.

That said, last I heard, most character skills were gonna remain pretty much the same (though some will get tweaked/reworked). So current working builds should still be fine for Sigma's initial release. And some builds that previously had severe limitations (e.g. Poison-based builds) will probably get a bump. End-game itemization is gonna be interesting, though. But if I had to guess, I'd say the devs are working more toward building up underused builds than tearing down current builds.

This is all just speculation, ofc.

Just play whatever gets buffed. And if that fails, just play totemnec, get ~20 charms, and then make a new char, while Transferring this charms over to your new char.

As for char‘s that I‘m pretty sure will get reworks: lazydin/ neutraldin and summoner necro. Stormzon will likely receive a better itemization. But yeah, that‘s all just speculation as solfege said.

Alright so I looked over all the screenshots and posted sourcecode changes and did NOT find anything to prove my assumption. I apologize, and will continue to look over the Sigma threads as updates hit to see if it does change. Also, at worst when Sigma launches i'll just make a barb and test it myself.

Open mouth, inserting foot :(

Edit: That said, was checking out an Assassin guide on here (Natalya's 1.3) for throwing weapons later going to limpet laser and I've been loving it so far. Been an absolute blast to play.

If Necrominions get reworked, that.

Otherwise, Lightning Sorc. Always wanted to go pure Forked Lightning.
