A Critical Look at Diablo 3 Season 17 Starter Sets: Why Roland Falls Short

The latest season of Diablo 3 has brought with it a host of exciting changes and updates, but one thing remains constant - the struggle to choose the right starter set. Among the many options available, one set stands out as particularly underwhelming: Roland's Legacy Set for Crusaders.

Without a doubt, this set is plagued by two major issues that hold it back from reaching its full potential. Firstly, it lacks the toughness and mobility needed to truly excel in key activities such as Nephalem Rifts and Greater Rifts. This means that even with a few extra legendaries, Roland still struggles to keep up with other sets and classes.

Sadly, Blizzard has not taken any steps to address these issues, leaving players feeling disappointed and underwhelmed by this set's performance. It's no surprise then that it ranks as the least popular option for Crusaders, with many players opting instead for other sets that offer more bang for their buck.

But what about Echoing Nightmare arenas? While they may not be the most exciting feature, they do add a new layer of complexity to the game and provide a fresh challenge for players. And with Season 26 now gone, it's clear that Blizzard is committed to keeping this aspect of the game alive in future seasons.

For those who are new to seasonal themes, I recommend checking out my previous video on how to get free bounty materials to ease your fresh start with level 1 characters. This guide is specifically designed for day one/level 1 players and aims to provide a helping hand as they embark on their next adventure.

Finally, I want to share my personal list of favorite classes to begin the next season - Light's Calling. Based on Patch notes (2.7.4) and Haedrig's gift rewards, these classes offer a great starting point for players looking to get ahead in Season 27.

In conclusion, while Roland's Legacy Set may not be the most exciting option out there, it's clear that Blizzard has more work to do to make it viable. For those looking to get started with a fresh character, I recommend exploring other options and seeing what works best for you. And as always, stay tuned for updates on future seasons and classes!
