I've been enjoying a Ice Shard build while completing the campaign. I find it fun to train them into a big group freeze them then teleport out. Then come the Damage haha

Ice shards is pretty OP once you get enough lucky hit and ice shard piercing. I've been melting level 72 guys no problem. I am pretty squishy tho, so I am working towards some barriers and also mana regen in the hopes that I can take out guys faster than they can take out me.
Interesting! I'm new to Diablo, but I enjoyed exploring and trying out different builds while doing the campaign. I don't think that anything was remotely "efficient", but it was good fun. Currently, I've been swapping over to an arc lash build from some website, and it's also been enjoyable. All of a sudden I can dish out so much damage! While tinkering with my own builds I had completely missed out on enchantments, and that was a real eye-opener. So much damage just from those extra enchantments.
Yeah there’s a lot of synergies that can be done to dish out massive damage. My issue is that I feel like I can never figure out these things on my own. I always have to rely on a guide. Makes me feel like I am copying someone else’s homework. My first build that I listed was done without a guide and just based on what I thought would be fun. Second build was using a guide and it completely outclasses my first, but I also don’t think I would have ever discovered it on my own, especially because it relies on Lucky Hit, which is a mechanic that’s not really well explained in the game.
Yeah, I feel the same, but I've simply accepted the fact that my builds will never compare very well to someone else's (who knows what they're doing). Lucky hit is still a mystery to me, when I create a build I always "ignore" critical and lucky hits. The names make them sound unreliable.
Bookmarking this since I wanna try some new builds myself. I’ve mostly been running a tanky kinda build. I’m running HC-mode so gotta be careful.
You got more balls than me. The idea of losing my char permanently frightens me haha. What's your current build?
Honestly can’t rattle it off off the top of my head. But it uses anything and everything to give me damage reduction and make me harder to kill haha. Been a few days since I’ve been on. Need to grind some altars and get through other post-campaign content.
