Hi all!

Making a Whirlwind Barbarian.
Anyone have a guide with optimised skills and gear?
I understand that a barbarian can dual wield 2 2-handed swords, wouldn't that mean the most damage? Like 2x ebotd colossus blade or something. Why doesn't anyone do it?
Instead the likes of 2x phase blade Grief seem the default, why is that the case?

Would 2x ebotd zerker be as good?
Or a single ebotd war pike?
Or a ebotd zerker and a shield for survivability?

Also looking for some advise for his armor.
Is the likes of ancient armor or hellforged plate more ideal?

Is fortitude a good bet or is enigma the way to go?

Last but not least, which merc and which items are ideal for him?

Thanks folks!

Grief because they beat anything in dmg and survivability

Really depends on what you want.

For intro to WW, IK set + Angelics actually works really well.

For a basic WW build I would go
Guli helm
Highlords
2x grief PB
Forti or enigma if you want tele
LoH
SoE
Gore
Raven frost
W/e side ring you want
