Worth poiting out since this is borderline of disinformation, like shit "oh, two lightning sorceress would not be the same". Bitch please. They will.

If there is any class with any variation in D4 it would be sorceress. Am sure that people will check maxroll for best builds, but the sorceress class mechanic does tailor itself to possible unique builds at the start when everything hasn't been figured out.

Eh, originality is kinda of overblown as a concept anyway. Sure, VARIETY is good, but the fact that not everyone can just come up with their own build and still be competitive isn't really something to be concerned about. It would require huge extremes of either homogenization or diversity to realistically achieve that, both of which cause more problems than they solve.

And it's important to keep this in perspective. I've seen a lot of the D2 nostalgia Andys cry about how D2 is superior because it allows for so many different builds, you can do whatever you want, etc... without realizing that sure, you CAN do a melee Sorceress or whatever but it'll, uh, SUCK ABSOLUTE MONKEY BALLS compared to meta builds. And that isn't different in, say, D3; you can make all kinds of builds there, too, they just blow. The difference is that because D2 is easier than a redneck on prom night, you can get away with more - which then turns this all into this weird take on how a game devoid of any real challenge is somehow portrayed as a positive thing.

The more demanding content is, the more likely things will streamline towards optimization. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
