Yup. BRD and BER are the meta primaries to start with. Unlock the rest once you get a meta build into sky.
Definitely don't listen to this tool. he is still "exploring Dalnir". Dude is so far out of touch and likes to read himself type

I would say the true meta at the moment for D4 content is probably Ogre SHM/PAL/CLR, it does considerable dps and is top line in mitigation, sustain and healing. You can swap the shm or pal for another support or tank too without losing much and be D4 capable but it will be slightly worse imo since those 3 classes combine extremely well together.

Any combo with a tank (even a monk or a ranger/zerker) and a cleric or shm is going to have a fairly easy time getting into D2 raids at a minimum though and start unlocking other classes.

SK/CLR/BRD or SK/CLR/SHM will also be top tier. Maybe even more so since it's more efficient to turn hp into dmg and mana in hp with SK/CLR than to just turn mana into dmg with the PAL

I think you can run Paladin with more melee dps (like rogue, ranger, monk) and not need cleric at all. Lay on hands every 3 minutes plus other mild sustain (like shaman or Druid and monk mend) and take things down quicker.

That said, there are dozens of good builds not just a couple meta ones.

One of my guildies had lots of good things to say about ber/pal/rog. And he was able to solo minis in hate with that.

HT every 3 minutes makes up for a lot of that melee dps. But yes, the beauty of this server so far is that there are more than just a handful of powerful combos. It's not pet cuck or bust.

Harm Touch needs a buff. 1,000 damage every few minutes is mediocre compared to a full heal every few minutes.

They are planning to make it leech as well. Leech Touch will be removed, and all HTs will leech instead.

They're hyper developing right now which I'm typically not a fan of, but some of this seems like stuff they had planned and hadn't gotten to yet. This pre-order beta is probably going to be very different at the start to where it ends.

Sometimes that's a good thing so people can figure out stuff during release and not worry about already tested metas established in the beta.

Othertimes it's bad because there's some working system people enjoy and they over fine tune it, ruining what people liked about it.

We'll see which way this one goes!
