Lets assume u have two identical 1000dps sword which u use as a mh n oh.
And your stats is around 2000 strength, 50cc, 400cd, with 2aps unbuffed.

N for your ww barb, u utilise mainly two skills to damage, ie ww n rltw.

How much do u think your total damage output actually comes from your ww?

This video actually performed test to proof that whirlwind does less than 20% damage from overall ww barb build.
Any comments on that?

N before u disagree about the video, u can try ww without using sprint first. Then u can see how crappy ww damage is without rltw.

pretty sure it was common knowledge that ww accounts for less than 20% of damage

lol

Can you stop posting a video that was made before 1.05 and huge rltw nerf?

WW is just mobility. Lets you put the tornadoes which do all the damage in the middle of the packs of mobs, etc..

U mean rltw from 2proc to 0.8? N ww from 110% to 145%?

So what how is that much of a difference pre patch? Mind explaining?

yawn

Nope. More than 40% of the people think that it is way more than 20%, hence they prefer offhand B

Or maybe they just like dps offhand instead of stats because they don't know that nado damage doesn't account for oh dps.

They want their unbuffed dps to be high, so they can have bigger epeen while still failing higher MP

Dat.
