What build are YOU doing in the Expansion?

Melee GR/EB/MoM in Tempest league look nice for me.
Summon raging spirits and other things to tank for me scion.
Nice to see a variety of builds people are doing. Hope you all do well with them. I'll try to update what I am going to play/my 3rd friend will play soon. Still not 100% on what to play. But, we'll see.

Arc/Ball Lightning EV/ES hybrid non Acro Shadow .....

testing new defensive options for caster after EB change.
"better to simply go balls deep full retard if you gonna go retard." -Boem-



HC Nado Shot so i can kite and ignore 99% of all the OP stuff that oneshots you out of nowhere.
After that gets nerfed i'll try to new skills.
I tryed a lighting trap-coldsnap trap + flame totem with blind in beta,
which was an absolute breeze through the game, only bosses die a bit slow.
And still tanky with CRAP rares, haved about 3k es and 1.5k life with 30 chaos res at lvl66

What i discovered in prosess was the fact that you can have all the armor you need to survive burst damage from your shield...
Shadow can reach only 4 of em effectively but it will do the work buffing your armor on an archon shield with good flat armor to 1.5k+..

Its all about hc playing for me btw and only reason motivating me to make a well balanced char and try out!
I really dont know how trappers was so unpopular before, did they had a buff on beta?
Max block aegis ice crash in Tempest leaugue(if my net allow me to play HC),some crit glass cannon shit if in softcore.

Elemental RT Kinetic Blast + Frenzy Charges... Not that hard to gear for and should hit around 20-25k DPS rather easily. KB+WED+GMP+BM as a 4-link for starters + getting 50% pierce from tree and another 15% off one of the quest-reward jewels.

And since I'm playing HC I'm probably aiming to use Blood Dance for a silly 10% life-regen with full charges and around 160%'ish total-life in the build... Oh, and like 70% increased life-recovery from flasks xD

Might respec some of the over-the-top defences and such off the build once I get more comfortable with it... I'd go crit but I'm too much of a pussy for that, dont want to off-screen R.I.P myself on some random Thornflesh pack.

And as for the league... Obviously Tempest, HC4LYFE!

Builds I'm considering

TS - looks to be really powerful but I'v done it before so probably not gonna but maybe.
2 handed axe - wondering how it'll work with some of the new melee skills.
Cast on Crit - not sure how reflect is in the beta so I'm kinda scared to try this right away.

Most likely going to do...

Magma orb caster - hopefully it's viable to level up with.
- Gonna continue my SRS on my Scion...
- Not sure If I might change my Marauder from a Incinerate or Dual Flame Totem...
- Might Roll a Trapper Shadow Build...
- Continue my Summoner Build on my Templar...
