What is best class to reach Demigod in high roller?

Hello fellow adventurers i was wondering in the current meta what is the best class to reach as high as possible for high roller that is easiest, i feel it's barb

Probably either Warlock or Druid at the moment going by what I've seen.

Though I'd imagine if you're good enough you could hit that with basically anything.

Barbs die often this season, they are no longer meta. Sure, there are ~5 in top 100 but they are skilled holdovers from last season and you are unlikely to make it alongside them.

Now instead the druid is an easy mode until it gets nerfed, warlock after nerfs is still OP for cheesing inferno and killing bosses. And then there are rogues that didn't go anywhere even after being heavily nerfed, their play style fits naturally for progressing the ladder.

Thank you for the informative response but i've tried druid and i did not feel much power with that class could you give some advice on how they are strong?

They've got a LOT of disengage (Rat form and Dreamwalk) and self-sustain for weeks, also access to Spears which I hear are just plain good.

Plus if you're in a 1v1 throwing down the Treant can shift things in your favor.

At least that's what I've heard/seen out of them, I don't know if there's any other specifics about them that come to mind.

The problem with druid is that it heavily relies on gear. In squire gear you don't get much damage in your animal shapes and healing is mediocre at best. But once you start stacking str or agi the damage increases very fast due to high scaling, you can hit for 200+ with bear form's bash deleting those who didn't invest into PDR instantly or 60+ in panther form (it scales off agi) but with really fast attack speed and optional bleed and silence. Throw in some magical healing to increase how fast you can get health back, move speed if playing solo and use dreamwalk/barrier/treant to escape questionable matchups, not many people actually chase druids. That is because you also have rat and chicken form, once you master movement with those and get solid map knowledge you can avoid ~90% of deaths and keep grinding AP.

Alright thanks, might as well get good with wizard if i'm going to rely on gear depended class but i rly liked the warlock and it's variety could try with that but thanks again
