New ARPG player here. Been enjoying the twisting blade rouge! But a lot of cometary on the rogue builds say something like “this play style isn’t laid back and be kind of involved” or something to that verbiage.

So that got me thinking, what would be a good “turn your mind off and just press a few buttons” kind of buld that would work as a good solo character for late game?

Companions Druid, I have 3 cool-downs, 1 oh-shit button and then just spam generator and core skill. Very controller friendly too.

Witch Doctor in D3 was totally this. It was so hands off it was ridiculous. But by all accounts, including mine, companion Druid sucks ass. I guess that leaves Necromancer but even then folks generally are saying that minion build sucks.

I find necro minions don’t scale as well into the endgame. At the start of the game, they’re great, but I find as you get to higher levels they start to die easier. I’ve seen a lot of lategame necros drop the minions and just go bone spear. Bone spear is super powerful.

With that being said, up to like level 50, the minions mean you can just roll through dungeons.

Multiple imbuements with penetrating shot as rogue

Uh, squishy, positioning required, combo points + imbuements, all pretty much the opposite of laid back in my opinion.

I love my rogue, but I definitely need an alt for when I don’t feel like playing an over coffeinated Speedy Gonzales immitation.

I enjoy this build a lot, you blow up crowds of guys… But I wouldn’t call it laid back at all.

I’ve been able to follow a simple rotation with this build as rogue and nightmare dungeons are not causing me a hassle. Most bosses melt with it.

If you get the right gear it’s a monster. (You definitely need to have the trap aspect before trying it)
