One word, Paladins.

They tank hardcore like it's stroll in the park, just stack health on hit and bleed/damage over time on rare items in the beginning. They have great sustain through buffs and healing skills also, the dps can be great depending on your build, they're not as fast as rogues or mages, but they never have to worry about dying to a boss.

Use Rive with Lunge as a gap closer, it's important since your sustain heavily rely on hitting anything, if you're not close to the boss then you could potentially die.

This is not an MMO. Why are people constantly mixing up ARPGs and MMOs?

it's cause of D4, it made ARPG into MMO. which is their most stupid decision IMHO. The root cause of all their problems with the game

Even D4 doesn't have the "Holy Trinity".
The root cause of D4 is a bloated team, especially diversity hires in it that would fail even basic math tests in 5th grade and that somehow were in charge of damage calculation.
That also means critical patches are coming way too slowly.

I guess all the folk who were doing it before D4 existed must have been prophets.

They were not the mass market.

Its 2024. Holy trinity is not only a thing in MMORPG's anymore.

There are plenty of games that have one or something similar to a holy trinity system: Divinity 1 and 2. Every DnD based game including Baldurs Gate 3. Certain shooters have a light version of it, with medics and support classes you can play as. Examples: Battlefield and Remnant 1 and 2. The Dark Souls/Elden Ring series offer ways to make a tank, heal or pure dps build so spice things up. And some survival games have it as well, like Conan Exiles.


A holy trinity adds fun and interesting extra gameplay and teamplay elements. Me and my wife always enjoyed those games where we could play as a tank and heal duo the most. Hence my question.

Trinities have died in most games, thankfully.

No there isn't and that's a good thing. No matter what class you play, you need both DPS and ways to mitigate damage. The differences lie in how you want to achieve those things.

That's not true at all.

My Necro says there is a Unholy Trinity! Also some Paladins in the game are a Holy Trinity all by themselves!
