I'm gonna start with a U6 monk I think because I really do love that set and will take advantage of the gift. Which classes/sets got the buff this time for when I want to try the current most OP build?

Pretty much all "decent" past builds seem to have been buffed to meet the level of the previous best builds.

I think it is the most OP build in general at the moment, unless I'm missing some other crazy setup.

With zero ancient items, crap damage rolls on most of my stuff and mid level gems, I can easily poo poo out 250 billion crit damage to anything on screen at a rapid fire pace.

With a power pylon and the fire cycle on the COE ring it goes past a trillion easily.

I think with no ancient weapons I did a 70 within 5 minutes on Bell monk. Mediocre ancients got me a decent 90 with no augments. With in-geom I can carry 75s in 2-3 minutes, so yeah it's pretty good. While uliana is cool and all, once I got 6 piece SWK I was blasting t13s.

It is only a couple gear swaps to farm DBs with sage+LTK as well.

E: Vvv your best bet is to use lovely SWK rolled pieces and to convert them in the cube till you get an amulet (20 DBs/souls)

How does it compare to the Shadow-Impale DH build? I feel like that build can hit trillion crits with not super refined gear, and it has incredible toughness. I start monk this season to try to the new Uliana's, got discouraged in the quest for a Fist of Az and Flow of Eternity, and then mothballed my monk in favor of a DH. Maybe I should go back and try to gear up this SWK build.

If you are gambling for the other set pieces, you can use the convert set item recipe in the cube to swap for a chance at the amulet.

In my opinion, Shadow DH is still going to be the premiere single-target murderer, and I would suspect will hit something like a Rift Guardian harder than a Sunwuko monk. The monk hits for a bit less, but it hits 2/3 of the screen each cast.

I love the poo poo out of Uliana, but my U6 build with a bunch of ancients and augments took twice as long to clear a GR 75 as the same monk with a Sunwuko build that had literally one ancient item.

It's the best monk build, but I wouldn't say the best overall whatsoever. Even for solo grifts I'd rather use a condemn crusader. Charge barb is also completely ridiculous.

Bell Monk and HOTA barb are basically the exact same spec except monk has a little more freedom in positioning and so on. Charge barb is really strong but it's completely unchanged other than the damage bump IE it fuckin sucks to play. Condemn crusader is probably the best.

I like HOTA barb tankiness a lot more than WoL monk, though I got a bellmonk up to 350mill toughness so they can actually be comparable.

Condemn crusader is just all around ridiculous. It most reminds me of the bonestorm lazy necro from last season, except able to do 30 more GR. Leorics crown + string of ears (in place of the CDR belt and aquilas) is the new thing with it that makes it even more ridiculous, though that hasn't made its way into any of the guides yet. Seasonal leaderboard for crusader is pretty unanimous.

Okay I just levelled a wiz to 70 and it's comforting that the levelling experience remains totally unchanged, ie. being slow and weak until you get disintegrate and then mowing everything down over a couple of hours

Disintegrate is the coolest skill. It's too bad there isn't a single competitive build that uses it (I think?)

Most of the channeling builds use Arcane Torrent with either Static Discharge for lightning procs or Flame Ward for the DR. You can substitute Flame Ward for Disintegrate Convergence on a channeling firebirds build though. You lose the DR but it is a touch easier to ignite mobs in bigger numbers since it pierces.

You can use disintegrate or ray of frost with meteor builds if you want to its just a little sub optimal and can gently caress with your meteor type.

So now that Consoles have gotten 3 Seasons under their belt, we've got all 6 pieces of the Conqueror transmog unlocked.

Do Conqueror transmogs only go to Non-Season though? I literally only play Seasonal so it's a bit lame if my NonSeason guy can wear all 6 but my Seasonal will only ever have 2 Conqueror transmogs.

I mean technically disintegrate was your main attack as a Tal-Vyr’s archon, but you had to be in Archon mode for it
