Looking for fun multi-button builds
I dislike one button and afk builds, looking for some fun combo/multi-button builds. I've recently tried a bleed Amazon, earth shatter/shout warbringer, and resonating shield/bone shatter/sunder Smith.
Even if I'm enjoying the builds decently, and they are clearing content well, I keep getting burnt out before I even make it to maps.
Wanted to try siege cascade in .1, but didn't get to before they nerfed all combos wit player made objects.

Smith of Kitava Boneshatter. For mapping priming a pack with Leap Slam and detonating with Boneshatter is enough to clear all trash. For bosses, the rotation is bit more involved... After a heavy stun: Infernal Cry, Seismic Cry, Hammer of the gods, Earth Shatter. Carn has a great planner for the build.
Twister builds are pretty combo-oriented. Build stage 3 Whirlwind > Put down elemental field > Barrage > Twister.
Probably one of the combo builds that feels like its worth it since, with decent gear setup, you can clear off-screen in all directions with every twister use (assuming the map has walls for them to bounce)
Eye of winter with the three orbs to make it trielement?
Hexblast lich could also be button heavy if you use all the hex spells. Get the 2 curses ascendancy then on bosses do despair, temporal chains, essence drain, contagion, double dark effigy, hexblast, repeat. For mapping youd probably just use edc though.
Explosive spear/ spearfield has been a lot of fun for me compared to the one button meta of last league. Spearfield with pin, blind, and rage. Combat frenzy and coc snipers mark to generate charges, then blow up the screen. Single target is great if not the most consistent just because they really tried to gimp frenzy generation this patch, but I guess that's half the fun is how much you have to press buttons and manage your frenzies
Lich with essence drain, contagious, dark effigy, and a curse has me pressing keys like I am playing a piano.
There's bleed builds for both huntresses.
Here's one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knisS1PmKxU
Im playing a 2 button build: curse + hexblast
Get reduced curse duration and reduced skill effect duration on the tree, along with reduced duration support for despair curse to reduce it to around 3.5 secs.
After casting despair, almost immediately (slight delay) cast hexblast.
Use blasphemy and enfeeble, along with lich's ascendancy to explode mobs.
Stack mana for lich's unholy might. I managed to reach 3k mana for 70+ extra chaos damage. Stacked damage from mana before life to take around 76% damage from mana before life.
My bleed amazon stays combo focused into endgame and optimizes damage through it
Rake in to apply bleed > Disengage to drop a shocking ground > Spear throw or whatever ranged skill with storm chain to clear and proc Herald of Thunder ( really smooths out clear) If anything is still standing you can blood hunt to finish.
I'll take suggestions instead for 1 button only builds.
Was going to say Amazon atm is like that for bossing. It's super engaging but white blue and yellow is still throw spear haha
Lightning arrow/rod requires two buttons minimum to do any decent damage.Get a Rhoa and lightning Mark and you do a drive by doing circles around the enemies. I also add Magnetic Salvo with conditional gems ("Execute", "Neural Overload", Culling") to stylishly dismount my Rhoa for the last push to kill bosses.
Nice try Jonathan!
