Looking for suggestions. Don't care about budget, just want to try a fun non-standard PVM build (HCL).

Some recent suggestions I've seen:

wind druid
bow zon
aura/tesladin

any other weird stuff that works with the right gear?

+1 for bowazon

Since hardcore, it's really hard to get killed with dragondin or with a hydra sorc. You need to actively try. Both are effective with sunder charms. Wind is frustrating at times due to tornados missing all the time, but cold hurricane druid is also very safe to play.

Dragontail sin with natalya set. From that list, bowazon is most fun and very cheap. All you need is any windforce.

You'll still want a pride or faith merc on top of a maxed chanter to really kill quickly. Just FA or even phys zon is pretty slow going even with 5k chanter. So I'd factor in at least a.chanter and we'll geared merc to bowazon.

Bear sorc or melee sorc is a good idea too. Just so spensive.

In p1-3, you don't need any of that. A windforce zon cal clear all river of flames and CS like it's nothing without breaking a sweat. No faith or pride are needed. HC multizon:
kiras with 15ias jewel
highlords
any 4os armor with 4x 15ias jewel
shaeled windforce
harmony switch for faster movement
laying of hands
razortail
war travelers

Rings are up to you. A might guilli + reaper merc can make diablo a joke.

Even then I feel like it's pretty slow. Although P1 through 3 is where they'd be able to do it.

Still faster than tesladin or windy without getting in melee range.

Blade sins fun af tbh or the standard java but everything explodes on screen so thats no fun

Riftsin is fun as fuck
DTail sin also
Hybridsin (trap/ww) is fun too

Hurricane Druid in p1 is dope, just Hurricane stack facets and walk brrrrr

Cold Bowzon obviously

Strafe zon if they fix it next patch

Throwbarb can slap now

Zealsorc is finally "usable" in PvM with either dual dream or insane enchant stack thanks to sunders.

PS: I've played all these in HC. Easiest ones are Cold Bow/Hurricane Druid and, with enough gear, zeal/bear sorc.
