The Barb singer, who kills with warcry, is the most fun character.
You teleport quickly, you please the clique with your Bo, and you knock them out. Monsters are super easy to kill like that in Baalrun.

In Baalrun, we'll love you at the beginning of the ladder and at the end of the ladder, since you're the one who'll teleport to the throne.

Suicide druid


what is that? my first thought is a Druid using a suicide branch but I’m sure that’s not the build you’re referring to but tell me more !

Warcry barb is fun for others, but possibly the most horrible build to play.
If you only care about being appreciated by others and you hate your life, this is the build for you.
Sacrifice yourself and play it! Please

If you want something fun, then at the bottom of the list you’ll find WC barb. Very low dmg, struggles a lot with sustain (both mana and life), struggles vs immunes, repetitive/boring gameplay, basically a support that depends on others.

Suicide druid is a troll pvp build. It relies on the way that you can trigger on-death effects from facets. When shifted in wolf/bear, if you “die” you instead unshift back to human form with 1hp.
Not what you are looking for since you said pvm.

There’s many fun pvm builds out there…
Have you played all good builds and you’re now bored to the point you want to play something as bad as a pvm bear zon?
Very very boring as all you can do is normal attacks with very low clear speed. You’ll be bored after a few minutes.

If you want to make the game hard, but fun, try something challenging and diversified like a full trang nec using fire spells only.
Full trang set with fire facets, boosting fire skills further with +allSkills from hoto, mara, sojs, anni, cta. Fire sunder. Infinity merc.
Use only FB, meteor, fire wall, fire golem, corpse explosion, lower res curse.

Other non-meta but fun builds that offer diversity and still not too bad so you won’t rage at how inefficient they are:

Kicksin using stormlash + death sentry
Good single target dmg with crushing blow
Triggers a lot of static field, lowering all mobs around then corpse explosion from death sentry can quickly kill all mobs around then corpse target you killed with kicks.

Bladesin
Can scale to incredibly high dmg
Works both for pvm and pvp

Frostmaiden, or even a ice/fire hybrid bowzon

Rabies + summon druid
Use bramble to boost psn dmg and give thorn to all summons

Metamorphosis tribrid barb
Throw/WW/Bear
Actually the best pvm barb build in the game.
Very fun with a complete arsenal adapted to both density destroying and killing high life targets.
Bear form is normally only used to trigger mark of the bear, but it can still be good enough to use it for a while whenever you get bored of throw/ww hybrid.

Glasscanon walking physical bowzon played with a controller.
Possibly the most fun I had on d2.
Using a joystick to move with high FRW, knowing that you need to dodge everything or you’ll die. All stats in dex. Kill or be killed. Play tactical warfare using valk, decoy, slow missile.
