It is also a synergy for Concentrate which you will use a lot so max it. Every barbarian build should max this one. This Warcry should be cast along with shout before going into the fray. This Warcry should be cast before going into any battle as it will increase your defense to incredible heights and is a must for almost any barbarian build so max it. Your main attack skill, this is what makes a WW barb a WW barb so max it. This will increase your damage and attack rating (AR), as well as give you a nice critical strike percentage. Any variation of the Whirlwind barb is going to max these skills, they are the basis of the Whirlwinder! MAX the following!ĭecide what type of weapon you will be using and max the appropriate mastery. This build relies on four major skills and therefore they should all be maxed. Besides, there are always pots to drink when you need them. Mana leech, bonuses you get from leveling and Battle Orders will take care of your mana needs. Aim for at least 200-300 vitality before items bonuses.ĭon't ever touch this stat, you don't need any on energy. Also, if PvP is your aim, vitality should be maximized in every way possible. It's simple, high vitality = high hit points (life), and therefore you will be able to take more damage before dying. Any remaining stat points you get after placing what you need on strength and dexterity should go directly to vitality. This stat should be pumped up as high as you can get it. Charms and other things that are listed in this guide is all you need. Also, as Hal has said on many occasions and I seem to agree with him, dexterity is a very bad way of increasing your Attack Rating, so don't place points in it if you're not hitting anything. Figure out how much dexterity you will be getting from your gear, and place points accordingly. will increase your chance to block to as written above. One thing to remember is that dexterity bonuses you receive from equipment, charms etc. You can check your chance to block simply by hovering your cursor over your defense in game. After saying this, you should put enough dexterity so that a 75% chance to block is reached. Defense, resistance, and blocking are awesome things to have. The benefits of using a shield can be priceless.
In my opinion, and I'm sure a lot of you will agree with me, a shield is an extremely useful thing to use and will save you more times than you think. The amount of dexterity a barb should have all depends if you're going to be using a shield or not. The best way to calculate how much strength you should have is to look at the requirements of your heaviest piece of equipment, add up how much of a strength bonus you will be getting from all your other gear and place points on strength accordingly. You should never pump strength more then you need to, it takes away points you could have on vitality instead. Also, I have tried to stick to the same format as Hal's Concentrate barb guide because I was so impressed with it, he did an awesome job on his guide and for anyone thinking of making a Concentrate barbarian, it is a must read! Anyway here goes.Įnough to use your equipment. I have added the viable variations of the WW barb in this build, when it comes to left over skill points, its really all up to you.
This guide is exactly that, a "guide", it should steer your Barbarian in the right direction, but ultimately your character is your character and should change the build to your liking. Consider this guide as a blue print to a successful WW barb and remember that this guide is exactly that, a "guide", it should steer your Barbarian in the right direction but ultimately your character is your character and should change the build to your liking. The aim of this guide is to advise anyone who is thinking of making a WW barb on the way to make an effective character that can easily deal with any monster in the game, whether it be act1 normal or act5 hell, a well built WW barb should be able to hold his own with little trouble. I decided to write up this WW barb guide because there seems to be a lot of players asking for one and as soon as I made my first 1.10 WW barb and had him be very effective in hell I thought I would be the one to write a guide up. This hand-to-hand specialist is not only extremely fun to play but looks Bad-ass too! Whirlwind (WW) barbarian was one of the most played barbarian builds in 1.09 and in earlier patches also and with the coming of 1.10 a lot of WW Barbs out there were left out in the cold and had noticed that their once "almighty, cookie-cutter barb" couldn't cut butter let alone a cookie. Since the early days when Diablo II was first introduced to us all the Barbarian class has been a favorite character to many of us D2 addicts.
