I am honestly surprised by some of the older players' responses. This will just turn into build X til NM, build Y to hell, and one more for fuckups if it is done once per difficulty (assuming they don't all just make the newest cookie cutter crap). If people fooker their character up that badly, they should start over and learn how the hell to do it, rather than catering to those that have no clue. It's not like they won't be at least somewhat twinked on the second run.
And then the second time they get nerfed, reroll.
Yes, people should learn how to build their characters. Encouraging them to hell tundra express their inevitable rebuilds is not the way to do that. If anything, it just results in noobs in hell tundra.
Also this is HU. If we didn't invent the term Flavor of the Month (FotM) build, we were at least the first to apply it in a Diablo context. It's the nature of the game really. The time to character investment ratio is high enough that most everyone is going to stick to safe builds.
