Whether you get tired of playing the meta, or just don’t subscribe to it at all, what unique playstyles/builds are fun for you?
To bring some example of my favorite meme builds:
I have two demon hunters, one whose build avoids almost any extra ability talents while the other’s tries to include as many of those as possible.
For evoker I like to go for single color builds. My main preservation evoker has a bronze build and doesn’t even have Spiritbloom, and didn’t have Verdant Embrace before it became baseline for them.
I play a melee beastmaster hunter (that one is open world only as it’s a pretty gimped build) as well as a ranged survival hunter (that one is still pretty low level)
I used to play healer protection paladin and later retribution paladin in TW. It’s pretty nerfed since the last hybrid taxes, especially the mana cost on Word of Glory.
For shaman, kinda similar to DH, I’ve tried both “no totems” and “all the totems” builds.
I haven’t gotten to it but I also done some theorycrafting on 2H protection warrior.
The soul scruple build.
I play an Warlock who is only doing damage to the living but has qualms about hurting souls so no talent that somehow hurts souls as Drain Soul, Soul Flame, Haunt or Soul Rot.
It is mostly an AoE build except soul flame.
well, I have a ton of BM hunter alts and most of their talents are picked for RP reasons rather then DPS.
For example my Orc hunter has every talent that gives you more pets/animals to call and my goblin hunter is specced more for explosions and chaos!
I play 1H-fury with “Annihilator”, it keeps my mouse-hand (I use a MMORPG-mouse) from turning into a gnarled, RSI-afflicted claw due to the lower APM, and the new 1-hander flail models are amazing, swinging two of those things around like a deranged lunatic is fun!
Oh yeah that reminded me that during the first iteration of the new Talentsystem I started a Forstwolf mag’har survivalhunter who avoided Wildfire Bomb as in that he only uses his own strength.
Sadly they revamped the taltentree later making Wildfirebomb mandatory baseline so playing without it is no longer really possible.
