D4 is not a Competitor in case of Build variations "BUT"

How is WW Barb in D4's endgame, by the way?


One of the best builds in the game (after the quad-nerfed it received, it was utterly broken before). Barb overall is probably the best class for the endgame thanks to having really good paragon boards.


Oh, all the content I have watched seems to point in another direction regarding WW. My bad for trusting videos, I guess. I'm glad to see that there's a "best" option - I guess everything isn't perfectly balanced after all :P
Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

It's difficult to pick things from D4 videos, because the game really isn't all that mapped out - btw Moxsy has a good video on WW barb that's recent enough - and the baseline of what counts as 'good' isn't really set, because many people compare D4 builds to how D3 / SC PoE play, which is where 'all the builds feel terrible' comes from. It's also not obvious how far the scaling goes into the actual endgame - for example ice shards sorc is really good until about lvl85, at which point it runs out of good stuff on paragon boards, but the enemy scaling isn't over yet at that point, so it starts falling off hard. But most other classes, especially barb and druid, don't have that problem at all.

There's always going to be the best class, just like PoE tends to have the best ascendancy (juggernaught in Crucible, and it's not even close), it's about how close they are and it seems to be somewhat all right (since there's no PoB, one can't compare builds all that easily).
