Finaly found my ww build :) --> http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#bhiUkP!bZY!.ZY.cc

Used at first ww with blood funnel (cause crit gives 1% life) but hurricane gives more mobility (means more nados hits ..more crits.. more fury.. more healing etc)
And i keep storm to be able to tank more (and still have close to 1,5k loh)
Just killed diablo yesterday after 1 miss.

(buffed stats but no berserker)


Super fun build :)

I love this build. It inspired a few aspects of my own build.

http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=63444665&f=142

I was already using wrath - thrive, rage - fray, ruthless, weapon master but didn't use sprint. I used weapon throw - ricochet and no escape instead but it didn't keep wrath up nearly as long as using sprint nados. I found that cleave and overpower work really well because cleave knocks enemies back and overpower passively increases crit chance by 10% and cools down for )almost)every crit you land meaning you can spam it.

It wont be too long before I clear act 3 and 4 inferno I just need some better gear.

Can someone give me some advice on my barb? I've been trying to use a whirlwind build but it hasn't been working for me in act 2. My gut feeling is that I'm lacking too much in resistances/life on hit/critical hit chance to make the build work, but this is what I have:

56k life
700 all res
14k damage
8.1k armor
Around 600 life on hity on
22% critical hit chance (base)
192% critical hit damage

Currently trying to use: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#WhQikP!bVY!abZYcc

I'm not using the Helm of Command, but I think I'm going to get one soon. Currently using an axe to capitalize on the critical hit chance. I have 2 mil igg right now but more can be on the way. Most of my gear is just str/life/all res stuff. Anyone have any specific advice?

I haven't tried this build in act 2 yet: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#WVSRkP!bVe!accZcZ

That's the one that's gotten me as far as I am. Typical tanking and whatnot with lots of life replenish.

dont use a shield unless you can obtain 1k+ loh with it while whirling.
I'd suggest to use DW which allows you to have more loh + higher crit dmg + other stats
also try to get ~35% crit unbuffed (im currently have 38,5% unbuffed and it workes very well with this amount)

How are the stats besides loh/crit? I'd imagine I need at least 200 more all resistance if I'm going to press further. Also, my armor is low now but I think it would be dangerously low without a shield seeing as how none of my gear has +armor on it. Would it still be worth getting rid of for an extra 500 life on hit?

So I'll assume that this is using 2 weapons, correct? So I would benefit a lot from stacking some extra crit and whatnot to make it through?

act 3 is pissing me the hell off, they made this game way to gear dependant
i've got about 35 mill in gear + spent 35$ on justice lantern on RMAH ( money came from other items )
and yet, if there's a arcane pack i die 5 times. or if theres frozen nightmarish i die 3-5 times. etc...
so squishy i hate it.
