3.8 Top 3 META builds - Guessing Game

Depends if GGG are going to nerf zerker and slayer. By tradition they must in order to make way for glorious new summoner/miner overlord meta.

Sweep.

The one skill to rule them all.

I have to ask, what's a build that can't play on console? Not counting a ten trillion projectile crash the system build.

I keep hearing about non console friendly builds, I haven't seen one yet though that would even perform a little worse on it.

guessing league starting with hierophant glacial cascade totems could be cheap and efficient for tower defense.

not sure yet. still thinking about stuff.

Jugg HOA

Hiero Divine Ire. Arc might see a return due to pack density.

The same as always. Not sure why people think summoners are going to the THE thing this league. They will be a new novelty for people the first 3 weeks or so and then people will go back to their TS/Cyclone/HoA, 1 button screen clearing builds like always.

They think people will play something that is new, no matter what. Welp, thats not true. They will play only new things if its broken (not in terms of dmg, in terms of clearspeed)

Sweep the leg.

If the tower defence style makes pure clearspeed less efficient, we may see tanky builds become popular. Max dodge raider, crazy regen necro, mana es groups.

If the mobs appear on a timer, then the clunky playstyle of traps and mines matters less. It would also make high ramp up time skills like srs, dominating blow, animate weapon, flameblast, or even spectral tactician a bit more appealing.

The necro changes seem to make an autobomber volatile dead style build easy to achieve, and insanely op. So while is may not be played much, expect this to be the new '30k ehp, 10 million screenwide dps with one button push' build that people rush to try once they have some currency.

Tankiness will be less relevant in this league than ever because the league monsters won't attack you unless you are in their direct path.


Anyway, to the original topic, I'm expecting herald of agony to be up there but I'm not 100% sure which class will win.

Personally I'm planning to try it with Necromancer, since that class can hit level 31 herald of agony without using a gem slot on empower. I just wish Cold Iron Point was a 1-handed sword rather than a dagger so it could get resolute technique as a corruption :P
