Only 2 viable builds

I run a acolyte of chayula and am soloing everything, never dying lol

Gas grenade titan is pretty broken as far as I am concerned.

550K/s poison damage and 90% armour against physical and elemental damage and all resists 75%.
If the mob doesn't do chaos damage I can pretty much ignore it.

I'm greatly disappointed in this expansion. It is unbelievable how if you want to succeed in the game you are basically playing deadeye(shocker) or bloodmage/chaos. What is the reason for completely obliterating every other build? But you can ride a rhoa and clean full screens in one shot on deadeye? How do you figure totem builds were OP and deserved to be nerfed? I'm truly confused. For years deadeye is king. What are we doing here?

I don't think you understand what viable means

Probably viable is the wrong word here since most folks have different interpretations of that word.

If I just take face value what viable is, I think you are wrong here. There are multiple viable builds.

But if I read carefully and try to understand what you are trying to say, I think I get what you are saying and in essence is true. The stats based from SirGog shows Deadeye rules.

Claiming that there are only two viable builds is the most fried take i have seen for a while lol.

Every single class has at least one good build right now, most have more than one.

Probably not only 2 builds, Im playing a Lich Frosbolt Build thats pretty fun but I cant seem to get past T5 maps atm so Maybe Op has something. Im not tanky and can be killed easily at level 78 with decent gear atm. It is still in Beta so Id say give it some time and just play and test things out, Im personally trying a new build each league to see what I really want to go into once its really live..

as the weeks go by more and more builds are being shown to dominate. It's not a simple case of "play deadeye" unless you only have 2 minutes to look around.

Deadeye is weak compared to Amazon. You can ES leech with her to full in 1s and Keep evasion/deflect capped + have over 10k ES, have like 3-4 timmes higher crit, 50%(x) damage vs rares and bosses, also have accuracy on weapon converted to flat phys damage to its bow have like 2-3 timmes dps on it. Amazon have so much damage on Just few key stats and with CI and ingenuity You Just slap all ress on ring and u are capped. Then You have like 60% of suff/preff free to Pick anything. If You stack accuracy and dex + converted it to AS, it gives both flat damage, crit, and machine gun like attack attack speed. Slap few hybrid nodes and ES games and You are like extremely mobile, extremely Fast version of Deadeye with life/ES pool like 10 timmes higher than him. It is beyond broken when u slap insanely broken dps, crit, as, and multiplicative damage with all damage leech on same class Just from stacking one single trash stat. Rest of your items can be defense and Then your ascendancy converted all your damage to life leech You can convert it with trash gloves to ES leech.

I have low level Amazon with almost capped defflect, evasion, řeš, high crit, +2 skills, 5000 ES and... Started endgame with T12 maps and it is extremely easy. Did also T2 bosses. With Just cheap campaign gear. You can buy extremely cheap 2-3 stát drops with high key stats rolls for few EX and Then Just throw random stats. Tak most of the time it is usable.

Oh, I forgot I have like 80 MS and unkillable unstunnable loa by converting ES to stun? CI counts your pre CI life as stun threshold, so for 1 passive point u make it almost infinite. For 3 passive u are immune to temporal and chilled ground. Throw some nova projectiles and projectiles speed nodes and basically You hold button and everything in your range melts reminding me aura paladin from other games. Each hit heals You for full. Even lighting rod now suck, because You spawn the in 4 hits to čáp and 1 barrage to trigger all 120 hits to boss. Throw tornádo Under You and You multiple that lighting arrow few times.

It is mathematically broken build stacking multiplicative values.

Quick math:
3oo phys bow
150% phys damage
120% elemental damage added to attacks
Around 1000 accuracy (with 220/330 from gems).
5% crit base
5% crit added

220% damage lighting arrow

This alone gives u around:
((300 + 1000) * 2,5) * 2,2 = 7500 X 3 (chains) x 3 (fork) = 67 500 damage per hit, Even for single target and Just from weapon only...

You can stack easily over 30% crit from Just passivess with 200% CD, so u hit in average for Around 145k per hit. Also Around 50% free AS for accuracy stacking, so your dps is now like 290k and 0.5s per hit. Just with naked char and weapon.

Slap in +8 all skills (4 + 4) from bow and quiver, 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 7 arrows from bow and socketables, slap in nova projectiles and bind your mouse to use both lighting arrow and lighting rod on click and You do every 1s aoe bomb Around you or without nova on place u click.

If You bind barrage rod barrage lighting arrow, You have insta trigger almost 20 rods and explode them all 6 times in 1 click. I think it is exactly 20 rods and 33 hits that can do 99 chains and with forks 297 lighting rod explodes.

There is one problem, it is instant 1 fps.

It literally doesn't matter at all that a few builds are more popular. That will always be the case. There are dozens of viable builds and variations and many more to be explored.
