probably because it clears significantly faster


ideally sure, in practice constantly piercing things in lines varies (IDK the numbers but 2-3 targets at least if comparing paper DPS?).

WW is more 'always on', has a better merc w/ a2 reapers, can utilize crushing blow, gets more skills, and doesn't need the more difficult weapons/helm.

So I understand more for a pure EXP grind but look at the ladder to see how many people are even doing that

look at the vid. boy was playing like a donut at times with plenty of single target throws. it's still doing way more damage than a ww barb would.

its 100% pierce so it will always pierce 4 targets and hit 5 targets if theyre lined up

its not just about that tho, it also hits way harder than whirlwind

and also way faster if you count the pierce

not to mention the amp removing 100% dr

that amp is so strong
wish WW would have a reliable way to proc amp (A5 frenzy merc with beast + lacerator... blizzard when :cry: ), I sometimes use A1 merc with brand to proc amp and even in p8 WW kills packs quite quickly after amp has procced, but before that...

maybe you could play brawler tho :D

double lacerator throw on swap to proc amp and then ww everything down

its strong, just need a lot of pierce to proc it more often (certainly nice with the pierce on throw mastery now)

Yeah I've played around with that, 2x lacerator on swap.. still prefer 2x hoto for faster movespeed and +6 hork skill :P
I like to abuse that soul MF ritual to get 4.2k mf and then farm and hork the TZ, cow king, trav, all act bosses and the more fun 85 areas. With that crazy high MF it's actually fun to hork that many areas :P get tons of uniques and sets and also tons of failed uniques/sets
