I'm planning a more defensive oriented barb for teaming, and a sorc for solo. Being able to group up enemies, tank em and keep aggro with barb is nice

So now that I've spent some time getting sorc and druid to level 12. I'm dumping druid. Holy crap does it drop off bad as it levels. Sorc main it is. I was going to do the same with rouge and possibly necro, but that would just be wasting more time instead of playing. Its just far more powerful than anything else. Like by a long distance. People claming the barb is the most powerful are out of their minds. And its actually far more fun playing with the spell synergy. Mixing ice and lightening is amazing. The druid is a one trick pony no matter how you spec your skills. And it doesn't level dps very well at all. You feel more powerful early. And as you level you start to feel very under leveled to the enemies. Which is the same problem I was having with necro as well, all be it far sooner. Barb just felt meh out the gate. The only other class that might compete with sorc overall is the rouge. But the bow stuff just turns me off.
I'm made a druid. I'm lvl 31 and am destroying stuff on world lvl I. I have to disagree with you on the one trick pony. My build is set up where I don't transform into any animal at all. I'm doing a storm/companion build. I have my wolves following me, the poison vines, and soon I will have the ravens as well. I have a gear piece that gives me +1 to all my companions, so I get extra of each one. And I do the storm attack mixed with tornado and it straight up slaps crap.

The lightening storm is the one trick pony I'm talking about. Yes its powerful, but its the only thing that is. Its the only core skill that does any real damage. Everything else is pretty weak. And doesn't really scale up well. So you get stuck in an never ending loop of using a basic skill to get your ball of what ever its called filled up, and then hold the button for a few seconds to spend it to actually kill something. Rinse and repeat. The druid seemed good and versatile until I started leveling it up.
If you are having fun with it, more power to you. I'm not saying you shouldn't have fun playing it. I'm just saying its not great compared to the other classes. It also has the weakest DPS at level 12 of the three I have now tested. Rouge and Sorcerer blow it out of the water. I'm sure barbarian does as well. The only that probably doesn't is necro as that one is pretty weak too.

Well I decided to try out sorc and it does seem to be able to erase enemies pretty fast.

My only worry is that sorc scales poorly in endgame, so far the top tier classes all around seem to be dagger rogues and barbarians.

Spin to win Barbs are mostly what I'm running into in the open world. I don't see too many people. But the majority of them are barbs. And they are all using whirlwind.

Whirlwind's so much fun. Favorite crap in D3.
Right now I'm doing an AOE Rogue build, we'll see if I get any gear that makes me change course. All the theorycrafters are propping up Barbs as "must haves" for parties, downside is of course if everyone's playing the needed class for content clear, nobody needs a barbarian anymore. Also so far the game's really easy? So it's hard to say you NEED anything. It's like saying Ret Paladin in WoW Classic is a waste, it's like the content is so simple, who cares?

Not every class is going to be balanced totally during leveling up. Some will be stronger at other levels. That’s part of a game like this with a lot to customize

Once I get online and start reading peoples stats/their builds/whats trash/what isnt, then it jacks me all up, lol. I'm just going to avoid it on this one and play whatever I work out to be most enjoyable. I'm Druid level 29, and pretty much opposite of the other poster, I have just a raven but my build is based on werebear/werewolf, and I'm loving it. I did Druid during open beta, then Necro during the server slam, and I loved Druid then more, and still do now. Haven't tried any of the other classes on this particular game yet, but Druid is dope IMO.

I think some people just enjoy misery. Starting with Barbarian and Rogue, and seeing what Sorcerer was doing, playing a Druid was unbearable, no pun intended. Everything took 3 times longer to kill because my damage output was so low that if I didn't actively engage in mechanic avoidance (losing even more damage) I would DEFINITELY die before the bosses did, where every other class basically had to move twice and the boss was dead and they ported out.

Can you store loot to pass to other toons as in previous games? This is how I tried to make miserable leveling classes tolerable before. Some of them were a sleepwalk.

My biggest complaint being later into the game now, is that they removed the gem bag. Gems taking up your limited inventory space again like in the second game is annoying.

Oh man, just saw they made a bunch of balance changes last night/this morning. And they completely nerfed the sorc build I was using. I haven't logged in yet, but I bet its not great now based on the patch notes. Every class got big nerfs, but druid and necro got some buffs. I'm also not in end game yet so I have no idea about the paragon stuff. But those are huge reductions on that stuff.

No idea how they can get this far down the road and still have glaringly obvious early level balance issues. Fix it first or leave it alone.

Druid also got a few nerfs, as if something on the Druid toolkit was overperforming...
Luckily Flurry's untouched on Rogues for the moment. I was planning on doing Twisting Blades once I hit max, but nevermind!

The story is pretty good in this one. I'm liking it.
I got nostalgic for Diablo 1 last night and looked up some game play videos. That game has not aged well. But that is to be expected of a game that came out in 1996/97. I no longer wanting to play it again. Just hearing Decard Cain say "stay a while and listen" was good enough.

The ice/lightening combo is very good. I recommend checking that out. If you are not too high a level already, re-sepcing isn't that expensive.
