was wondering if anyone knew is crackling energy sorc good compared to auradin this season? for pit push
and is auradin better than hammerdin?
Depends on if you're talking 110 or 130+ for "pit push". People are doing Auradin for higher pits but it's requiring you to get stupid lucky with Grandfather's sanctification on one of your other items, as well as Ring of Starless Skies as well in order to meet the damage requirements.
Hammerdin is best for all around imo, speeds and farming T4 content to 100-105s in the pit. Auradin seems to, according to streamers, be able to push higher with the above sanctifications met. It is EXTREMELY luck based.
Crackling is doing well, through T4 and Pit 80s unless you farm for bis GAs and sanctifications, then you're able to get to 100s. It's a great fun change from Hammerdin though.
I will add in that there are several other builds out there from different classes that are doing pretty well at 80-100 and aren't spinning hammers like Diablo 2. Certainly not pigeon holed into just the two but honestly, this season is pretty ass for build diversity. Just as it was when the Spiritborn was released. Next season, Paladins will be nerfed into the ground.
