What are the current top 5 builds in order?
just came back from vacation so no idea what happened on reset or up till reset

is mosaic back and still disgusting?
Warlock nerfed to the ground?

help me out, ill give a cookie

Guess it is AI made lol
1_ hammerdin? XD
Then WTF druid & necro are on the list???

Last patch notes only uses was to nerf warlock to the ground
I still think he is slightly stronger than most for pvm but definitely it was nerfed
Pretty sure that the insight + Mephisto book will still work on p1-p3 but prob not on p8 as before
I guess dire and magic are still as good or close to what it was

But overall nova sorc and javazon are still top tier

Mosaic still NL only

0- Mosaic
1- Warlock (abyss)
2- Warlock (blood boil or apocalypse)
--- maybe swap 1&2 unsure here ---
3- Nova sorc
4- lightning fury
5- ES warlock probably
6- maybe hammerdin with all the new gear providing -% and +% to magic but imo it still clunky

Something like that probably

Appreciate it dawg, so last i played nova & java had some problems with immune heralds
i know heralds got reworked to be easier, no idea how much easier tho.
do nova/java have any problem with p8 endgame farming?

Note : I just like to telestomp shit and move on, which was fine with prenerf ESwarlock. did it get nerfed to the ground? aka unplayable for p8?

apoc warlock self wielding insight + diabolos with an infinity merc and a maxed bind elite demon feels really close to a decked out nova sorc, even without any chaos skill gcs. cast, stomp, clean up, repeat. Lot of fun and the demon adds both an enjoyable and strategic element for taking down heralds and bosses, while the fire skills work closer to nova and clear mobs like nothing.

It depends on what your goal is

Hammerdin is the overall best because of its versatility (can do every area and ubers on gear swap). P1 the clear speed is close for most top tier classes. So hdin and nova > mosaic p1 for quality of life in gameplay (you can pause and check your loot)

Gold find and holy grail/magic find p1-p3 : Top1 is barb horker.

Elite sniping : Barb again or nova sorc

Cows: Javazon or fire warlock

P8 magic finding probably also hammerdin again because of the amount of magic find you can get with its gear without sacrificing damage and survivability.

p8 endgame farming pretty much
as i said just want to telestomp elitepacks and move on, dont play on clearing entire areas

i know novasorc is perfect for this but as i said they had some problems with heralds 1 month ago when i played, no clue if heralds got nerfed to the ground or if they still oneshot your ass

Yes nova is ideal for this, if you want safety you can go hammerdin (it deletes heralds faster than nova sorc esp if the herald is demon) or well geared hork barbarian

Mosaic you can die if u misplay but fastest killer in p8

i know they are ideal for this

What i really want to know is -> are heralds with immunities still unkillable even for a well geared nova

last i played (1month ago) it was pretty much only eslock which had a chance at ripping through p8 endgame content heralds/summit/tz etc

Im not sure if someone tested heralds on p8 nova sorc because there is no incentive farming them on higher pc (they drop blue stuff now, sunder chance is significantly improved for p1) but they are significantly weaker for sure.
