S39 – Least popular builds

We are over a week into Season 39, and here are the builds that nobody wants to play.

I went through the worldwide PC non-SSF leaderboards combining both normal and hardcore modes.

These are the 10 least popular class / set combinations, with the number of players that finished a greater rift of any rank, of that class and set:

  • Vyr Wizard (99)
  • Seeker Crusader (110)
  • Jade Witch Doctor (155)
  • Zuni Witch Doctor (157)
  • Uliana Monk (159)
  • Invoker Crusader (218)
  • MotE Barbarian (242)
  • Sunwuko Monk (266)
  • IK Barbarian (270)
  • DMO Wizard (301)

A remarkably balanced list with 5 classes having three sets on the list, and the remaining two (demon hunter and necromancer) having none. Those two classes also avoided being on the list last season, as well as Season 33 which was the last time we had this theme. Demon hunters continue their streak of never making this list since I started back in Season 30.

The list is similar to the rankings from the last time we had this Haedrig's Gift rotation, which was back in Season 35. This season the MotE barbarian has pushed out the Masquerade necromancer.

No builds on the list have yet cleared GR150. The closest is the MotE barbarian which has reached GR145.

Here are the least popular builds for each class:

  • MotE Barbarian (242)
  • Seeker Crusader (110)
  • Natalya Demon Hunter (646)
  • Uliana Monk (159)
  • Masquerade Necromancer (511)
  • Jade Witch Doctor (155)
  • Vyr Wizard (99)

The least popular Haedrig's Gift this season was the Helltooth witch doctor. Witch doctor was also the least popular no-set class.

Builds that have always made these lists (other than when they are Haedrig's Gift which will push them out of the running) are: Seeker Crusader, Uliana Monk, Jade Witch Doctor, Zuni Witch Doctor, Vyr Wizard. Of those 5 builds, Jade, Seeker, Vyr's, and Zuni have also been the least-popular Haedrig's Gift.

Boss Mode

EDIT: I did set it to Torment X

Diablo 3 on switch i think affects the loading time for the boss mode conquest.

I started the game around 4:37pm. i went from Adria (Act V) backwards to Skeleton King (Act 1)

I killed the Skeleton King at around 4:53. Nothing happened.

notes:

  1. I played as Crusader with Steed Charge, and AoV Fist of Heaven build

  2. I tried it with Malthael. (I've read that if you can kill him quick, the other bosses wouldnt be a prob) Can kill with two shots (first half, and then second half)

  3. I can one shot most of them except Diablo (like Malthael, two shots since first and second half)

I did Act V first going back to Act I

Act I - The Skeleton King, Queen Araneae, The Butcher

Act II - Maghda, Zoltun Kulle, Belial

Act III - Ghom, Siegebreaker, Cydea, Azmodan

Act IV - Rakanoth, Izual, Diablo

Act V - Urzael, Adria, Malthael

I just need 1 more Conquest to finish my Season Journey. it's this or Sprinter.

(I already did Avarice and The Thrill)

Any notes from veteran and expert players are welcome. (I'm quite a newbie, i only started playing in the last month of the last season, was able to complete the Season Journey 2 days before it ended)

Thank you!!!

Just finished campaign, trying to understand Adventure Mode

Title question

Hi hi guys

I'm a new Switch player who just finished act V and I'm trying to understand how the end game works

So I got my Demon Hunter to 70 and ran my first bounties and rift, is this the gameplay loop?

I researched some builds on maxroll but I don't know exactly what the next steps should be to build a UE Demon Hunter or what is exactly a UE Demon Hunter

My DH is my first seasonal character and I want to get her stronger before playing other classes

Probably the first DnB song I ever heard as my Nana and Uncle were both massive Jamiroquai fans and this was on heavy rotation in the late 90s.

GR150 goal: what else to improve besides gear?

P1350 Necro Tragoul Nova build. Can clear GR133 without fishing.

Working on gear (current%/max%):

CHC: 46/54

CHD: 352/380

AD: 130/134

Nova/Physical: 75/85

I know where I need better gear, and I am 100% focuses on that. But it gets frustrating chasing RNG and I don't feel that maxing gear stats alone will get me to GR150 (my goal this season).

Please help me understand what else I should be focusing on to reach my goal.

Current build (haven't switched to Aughilds yet):

Are mobalytics and Icy Veins reliable?

Been getting back into the game for the first time in probably 5 years. Wanted to know if any of the build guides are reliable/viable, or if I should be figuring something else out.

Cube Covert Set Item Not Producing Rathma's Skeletal Legplates

Is it just luck or does the Cube not want to give me Rathma's Skeletal Legplates?

I tried at least 15-20 times and no dice. Is it because it's the only part I don't have, that it's being difficult?

EDIT: well they dropped so...

For new (or not new) zdhs in group play - nems spawn elites on you, so spawn them in the right direction

This is something that keeps coming up since forever and i figured this will help some zdhs and make life easier for the rest of the party. As zbarb this makes me very sad.

Elites from pylons do not spawn randomly, they always spawn on top of you, so you decide where they will end up.

What keeps happening in group play is zdh randomly clicks, an elite spawns on the wrong side, or near a wall, it cant be flipped and sometimes it cant even walk towards the place you are fighting because it gets stuck between the pylon and other mobs.

Less important but also on topic, you want to spawn them as far away from the pylon so dont click right next to pylon then activate it. Click it from afar and have your char walk towards it and spawn from the farthest distance possible.

You want to spawn them in the direction the fight is going to happen, this usually - but not necessarily - means spawning them in the forward direction. A simple rule of thumb is spawn them towards the other elite (s) or towards an open area/intersection.

Is it possible to clear GR150 as a duo with low paragon without a support in the team?

Hey all. Me and my friend are playing D3 after years and wanted to push to 150 as our goal. We're at 142 at the moment, we're playing Trag'oul deathnova and Tal'rasha star pact meteor. I've been checking the leaderboards and it seems almost all the duos include a support in them. We're around 1400 paragon.

Anyway, my question is, is it possible to clear 150 without a support in the team? I feel like we're doing a good job in chainpulling, but the bosses are starting to take like 4 minutes, and the only pylons that feel like are impactful is conduit or a lucky power pylon for the boss. Is it just a matter of retrying and hoping for a dream rift with lucky conduit and lucky power pylon?
Thanks ahead of time

Damage

Posted the other day about survivability, but now I need damage. Im using WW build with full wrath of the wastes, both BK swords equipped, RORG, Obsidian ring of the zodiac, guardians case+aversion, for gems I have 5 flawless royal rubies socketed, my helm and weapons all have 1 flawless royal amethyst socketed, and I have 3 legendary gems socketed, Moratorium, Esoteric, and Bane of the Stricken. In the cube I have Ambo's Pride, Lamentation, Band of Might, and Aquilas. As for skills im using Leap - Death from above, Battle rage - Marauders rage, - Ignore pain - Iron hide, and Wrath of the Berserker - Insanity. As for passives I have Berserker rage, Animosity, Nerves of Steel and Tough as Nails. As for my issue? I need 1400 max blood shards and the damage is struggling so hard im taking 8-9 minutes per run, and im also noticing nerves of steel and fates lapse (Enchantress) proccing fairly often. What am I missing? Why is my damage struggling so hard?

Edit: I know I can do it I just dont like its taking me this long, I just beat GR87 and im assuming I need to hit 90 for the 1400 cap, I dont wanna spend 20 minutes going up 3-5 levels
