Asking balance in a MMORPG game...

First time play Diablo 2 or what? Each char has different strength and weakness which is good for this content but sucks for others. There are ofc meta builds and it's changed every ladder (except Trap rat is damn strong since years). We still enjoy that. If you dont want to waste time to play shit build then ask the community before making new char.

Balance team of 1.5 people.
Balance team on AAA games? More than 1.5 people. AAA games still can't get balance right.
Not to mention this is a free game, not the devs full time job. You can do a better job? Go do it yourself, be quiet, or get your entitled ass the fuck out of here.

just nerf the rat already :) all others builds are kinda balanced somehow... but the rat sure need a big nerf as it's powerful and brainless to play (even if moving in that ugly form is a nerf by itself lol)

From my understanding Totemancer suffers from the same problems Holy Caster does, but it has less of the perks its Paladin counterpart gets.

I kinda agree with op, but he could express it in a more civilized manner. Yea, I totally understand you op, it's extremely frustrating to invest a shitton into a build just to find out your build doesn't perform even at least as half as good as a magic missile amazon or whatever.

Come on dude. This game is still based around an economy and high tier rifts are wayyyyyyy to profitable to the point that you become rich within a few days if you can farm phoboss. It's not like your build can't run X uberquest and you just buy the charm for a very small price. It's that your build can either make you super rich or not.

I take consolation in the fact that the game is still fun even without being maxed out and being able to run lab. But more importantly that you can improve significantly next league now that you know what's meta. So it's a matter of choice. Either play meta, run lab and get rich so you can fund your other builds to a point they're so fat that they can run lab themselves or be happy with your build and what it can run.

Personally, I think I'll challenge myself next league and make the same build to try to push lab, even though it's not the best for it.

Disagree, I'm stuck at doing endless of T10 rifts before anything. Yeah, i'm missing undead crown to do better, probably, but its far from the best build.

Massive dedication on a single char + skills can make you very strong. Its not the char itself, its the player more likely.
