Wished the Wizard would have been worth playing now with all the changes. It seems to weak or the mechanics are badly implemented (twister). Give it +8 GR levels and i would have played it instead of dh god during season 22

 I might mess with Vyr. The archon build will let you run captain crimson's with 4th cube slot.

which items will you drop on your build. And will you use 1,2 or 3 captain crimsom items for the set. (do you use the "ring" to cut the complete set by 1. Can`t remember the name or the ring. What item will you use as 4th item on kanai. You cant put an crimson item on kanai right?

How much stronger do you think Vyr will get? Could it get up to GR 140 by the end of the season?

I can see it hit Gr140. Archon Belt and helm will be in cube, my choice of rings will be rorg, karini, and coe, neck is squirts.

https://www.d3planner.com/451672488 a rough sketch of a standard cold build. You can adjust it to the double coe playstyle if it suits you better.

I like that build. For s22 I will cube rorg in the 4th slot and coe the build exactly as you linked it.

are the new builds going up this week ?

i know there are other places to get build information.
but i do find it very helpful when Deadset goes into specific details on spell rotations and what each spell is required for.
Some of the triggers and synergy's can be obvious but others are a little more subtle.

Not an expert. But i believe this is often like the last 3 days on icy veins. 
 

Off course a lot can be found on places like youtube to copy an existing build. Multiple users create tier lists for the top builds of each class. It should not be hard to find what gear and skills + passives they use. 

I’ve copied my god demonhunter build from youtube and looked at 3 videos for the forth kanai cube slot. Not all builds have changed beside the forth kanai slot. Some builds are build more around surviveability. Some on dealing damage.

I was actually able to play a little of the season Tuesday night (nov 17). Was pleasantly surprised when I turned on the game that it was available. Played for a couple hours, completed some challenges, but now the season is not available. Looks like I lost that progress.  Still have the character I created but it seems to have reverted to regular.
