The straight pulverize build can still work without uniques. I switched mid 60's from trampleslide to pulverize. You have to alter it slightly for the spirit issues, but most of the power comes from the paragon boards I feel. I've only found one vasily's and that was around 79/80.. Truthfully I'm kind of bored of it too, I usually run a couple of NMD's or helltide then get bored. Really just waiting for the season to start so I can roll a new class.

I've got barb and necro to 60ish too.
Barb is pretty limited imo. HotA is fun, but upheaval is weak and looks dumb, never liked ww, and bleed builds are the exact opposite of what I look for from a barb.
Necro has a ton of good options though. Sever is a fun melee monster, spear is a complete wrecking ball, blood surge will be awesome if it's ever buffed / supported... I'm not big on minions or bone spirit, but still, necro looks like a solid pick.
Druid has a ton of build variety, I just hate how so many of them are unique locked.
I have 37 rapid fire/flurry rogue which is actually pretty fun and seems to not run out of resource easily. I don’t know if I’m going to spend any more time on it though with S1 being so close.
I really want to make a fire sorcerer, but unless they balance it so there’s more viability outside of ice builds, I’m worried it’ll suck once you get to the 70-80’s.
Also tempted to try a thorns barb. I’m going to have to try the bone spear necro at some point too I guess!
I'm really enjoying barbarian / HotA after playing my ice sorcerer to level 70 or so. I smashed through Elias at level 60 barbarian which felt good. It's just so satisfying to be constantly smashing things and actually have survivability. The sorcerer is definitely faster at clearing screens as you can freeze and then everything just explodes, but it also dies at the drop of a hat.
For some time I used the storm piñata build using the mid game section for aspects. It was really fun to live the storm Druid fantasy. My only qualm is how squishy you are.
Rogue rapid fire + flurry + shadow imbue.a pretty fast build that clears screens with flurry with shadow imbue and rapid fire for elites/bosses.
Also very resource friendly build
