What class requires the least effort?

[Burba]

Like what class should I play if I just want to watch a video on the side? Or chill with my friends while playing? I want to spend as little time as possible thinking about the game. I just want to mindlessly grind. What class/build should I go for?

That is what I wanted to do but my friend has his heart set on this game. I already own the game so it costs me no money.

Necromancer or Ball Sorc.

there's no mindless grind in this game, once u hit wt3-4 with ur friend the game is full active and no matter what class you pick you'll need full attention to the game.

Yes but there is going to be a least amount of effort involved class. I will have to put in some effort I know. I am just going for as little as possible.

I’ve got my lightning Sorcerer to where, outside high tier nightmare dungeons, I can just cast Ball Lightning and run in circles.
But leveling most anything else on World Tier 1 will be super easy. And boring. WT2 requires some attention while you’re leveling to 50 and makes D4 an actual game. So, if your friend wants to actually PLAY, you probably will have to as well.

Lightning Ball sorc kills world bosses in like 20 seconds. However it require some equipment which isn't accessible on low levels.

So far dual-Core rogue and necro are pretty easy to level up.

the point is you aren't watching netflix while playing this one, if you take your eyes off the screen for 1 second you'll die to bad positioning. this isn't easy mode diablo 3 anymore.

I've got a necro I pretty much spam decrepify and the enemies just disappear....A lot of avoiding attacks tho as i'm a glass cannon...

I was actually thinking of a pacifist build where I just spam both curses and let my minions do the work...maybe use army of the dead with minions aspects too

Yeah, now we can have battlepasses and micro transactions everywhere to spice things up.
Seriously don't pull the "This game is HARD!" card. People know what difficulty they are willing to play on and it may not be yours. From the sounds of it this person isn't interested in the game all that much and just wants a coast character/build to use for as far as it will take them. Who cares. They can play that way if they wish, why you care in any regard is the more interesting question.

Necromancer with a focus on minions and darkness skills (vile miasma as a deviation from corpse explosion). You can pretty much just stand there and spam vile miasma, drowning everything and everyone in deadly black glue while your minions tank for you.

Necro is a glass cannon though so you still might need to be half-awake sometimes and maybe chug a quick potion every now and then if you get hit by one of them elemental damage spikes but this happens rarely so 90% of the time you can rely on minions and vile miasma.
Make sure to equip the stuff that gives you extra minions. My necro has 6 warriors, 5 mages and 1 Golem but you can push that even further by putting the right aspect on an amulet.

Twisting blades rogue. You just rush around and oneshot everything + almost impossible to die due to infinite mobility.

The OP wants to watch Netflix or whatever on the side so a Rogue relying on mobility is much too high maintenance because you need to pay attention to where you actually move.

This mobility thing requires effort. He wants the *least* effort.

Honestly, Necro is perfect for lazy players if you just want to stand there and watch stuff die around you. You just have to spam 'corpse explosion' (vile miasma) in the general direction of the enemies and the game is almost on autopilot.

Necromancer as mentioned, at least for the campaign or early grinding. Minion builds drop off late but on T1 they're pretty good. With Hemorrhage, blood orbs help make it so you don't really worry often about potions. Bone Spear a good add for making mobs vulnerable. I'm grinding a new Necro on Steam Deck in Blood Harvests pretty mindlessly, can add Blood Mist for a quick escape if a bit overwhelmed.

They’re just in the one place, and easy to ignore. Let’s not act like this is Diablo Immortal.
