I have to say that I do not like some changes in that patch. Melee necro is really weak now and Paladin (at least lazydin) is dead(and I do not like Paladin tree changes).
I still cant find right character for me. Melee sorc looks interesting and she does not look boring but fun .
Can You advice some nice/not boring build which can work for newcomer like me? I know that you are short on time so most build still awaits for update but maybe there are some fun builds which will work on 2017 version? Thx in advance for help.

P.S
I do not like summons
first of all , my melee necro that used Massacre as main attack is at least as good as it used to be , if not quite a bit better with Carnage . i agree that the Parasite build was nerfed , but my build doesn't use it , so i don't care about it .

second , the lazydin is actualy quite better then it used to be . i'm not talking about the build that Potato did a few years after mine and now got screwed , i'm talking about my lazy build in this compilation that uses SoD and Demiurge + procs after kill/when slain -> those got boosted therefore the build itself got boosted .

"fun" is not always "efficient " . you can check the rankings of each build and judge what's best for you .

good luck !

How Carnage is better than massacre? Ok, it hits multiple times but damage is really low, even compared to parasite damage. With carnage I have big problems with killing monster on pl8 while I do not have this problem with parasite. Leech is not the same as in previous patch and dmg is a bit lower but it is more or less ok.

Procs after kill i guess will not work if you kill enemy with RoL or VoJ? Lazydin build

on kill procs only work with wdm or poison skills.

Hey i am really interested in the lazy paladin you will update the guide soon? He suffered to many changes?

I still need to farm 450 signets, so block will be close to max when I'm done + some small improvements. Defence needs improvement.
I chose to socket with gems instead of runes to hit max resistances, since we no longer use Runemaster and elemental dmg is my biggest problem at the moment.

Can you explain what are those signets and why you need 450?

I also did like 30 mephisto runs on normal and got none of the items in Chucks guide :oops:

you can create uniques , you know , you dont have to actualy find them .... :wall:

read the docs and cube recipes !

You don't have to worry about signets for early game, they give you 1 stat point each and you can max get 500 for each character.

Like Chuck said, you can create uniqs with arcane shards you get from disenchanting uniqs, so keep farming mephisto and disenchant all uniqs until your get enough arcane shards to create and upgrade the right uniqs. A good way to get the bases for the uniqs you want is to gamble them from vendor.

All the info you need is in the documentation

Also remember to do the Lvl challenges!

updates finished for the Neutraldin and Maximus . The lazydin will also be done tomorrow , you may expect a little surprise 8-)

any idea if there is an updated build close to what https://www.twitch.tv/nugiyen is playing on stream? (Paladin w summons + lighting aoe spell). but he dies alot (at least he did a couple of days ago)

cheers

Thanks for your prompt reply regarding the melee sorc! I had another question - with the removal of -enemy resistances from MOs now, do you have any suggestions for boosting endgame damage for xbow necros? Getting a little bored of my melee sorc and never tried xbow before and thinking of giving that a shot.
