Our melee-loving Diablo player needs a character switch! Metallifan33, a massive fan of the hulking barbarian class, is in search of a new Diablo battlefield experience, while maintaining his preference for the up-close and personal combat style. So, who better than the Diablo community to turn to for some practical advice and insights?
Summary
- Fans suggest the Rogue and Druid classes, especially Pulverize Druid, for a similar melee experience.
- Barbarian loyalists stand strong, advocating for another Barb experience.
- Players suggest diverse playstyles with new traits within the same Barbarian class.
Stick with What You Know?
There’s a bonafide charm in familiarity. As *CecilPalad* confessed, after dabbling with Druid and Rogue in Season 1, he still found himself veering back to Barb for Season 2 (& for the upcoming Season 3). Echoing this sentiment, *huggarn* offered a concise yet robust endorsement for Barb.
The Rogue and Druid Suggestion
*someguyyouno* proposed the Rogue class as a melee alternative, highlighting that it still caters to that preferred combat style. The Druid class, especially the Pulverize Druid, suggested by *Substantial_Life4773*, appears to be a crowd pleaser, offering similarity with the Barb vibe but delivering a different result.
Switching Playstyles for Fun and Variety
Several users suggested exploring unique playstyles within the Barbarian Brutes. *YellowFew6603* recommends the Frenzy Thorns style for a fresh whirl of fun, while *Rain1058* pushes for the Leapquake style, celebrating it both for its fun factor and strategic capabilities.
Whether Metaillifan33 decides to stick with the familiar and well-loved Barbarian, venture into the land of Rogues and Druids, or explore new playstyles within his beloved class, it’s clear the Diablo community is a treasure trove of insights, experiences and hilarious camaraderie.
