The straight pulverize build can still work without uniques. I switched mid 60's from trampleslide to pulverize. You have to alter it slightly for the spirit issues, but most of the power comes from the paragon boards I feel. I've only found one vasily's and that was around 79/80.. Truthfully I'm kind of bored of it too, I usually run a couple of NMD's or helltide then get bored. Really just waiting for the season to start so I can roll a new class.
I've got barb and necro to 60ish too.
Barb is pretty limited imo. HotA is fun, but upheaval is weak and looks dumb, never liked ww, and bleed builds are the exact opposite of what I look for from a barb.
Necro has a ton of good options though. Sever is a fun melee monster, spear is a complete wrecking ball, blood surge will be awesome if it's ever buffed / supported... I'm not big on minions or bone spirit, but still, necro looks like a solid pick.
Druid has a ton of build variety, I just hate how so many of them are unique locked.
I'm really enjoying barbarian / HotA after playing my ice sorcerer to level 70 or so. I smashed through Elias at level 60 barbarian which felt good. It's just so satisfying to be constantly smashing things and actually have survivability. The sorcerer is definitely faster at clearing screens as you can freeze and then everything just explodes, but it also dies at the drop of a hat.
Yep, HotA is awesome for sure, I just have misgivings about investing into barb when that's the only build for it that I enjoy. I'll get bored, and even if I don't, when the wheel turns and HotA is no longer a strong performer three really won't be a plan b.
