many ppl talk about this build, but there isn't a guide yet, so i'll try to post some guideline to buildout your own WW barbian step by step.
REQUIREMENTS:you MUST hit this objet, else you'll never afford inferno:
- ~40% crit change
- 1k+ loh
- ~45k life
- 800 all res
if you haven't money to reach this point, stop reading, D3 is a full equipment based game, so no equipment no party.
INTRODUCTION:first of all
the main pont of this build is hit enemyes, and get fury + life from each hit , how?
life -> life on hit
fury -> crit hit (-battle range)
this two resourse (you don't say?) are the thing that keep you alive and make this build works so fine.
the main skill to reach them is SPRINT, not whirlwind, this is the most important thing to understand
SKILLS:http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#ahiUkP!ZYb!YZYZcc- primary: BASH (instigation)
a usefull skill to get enought fury to start with battle range & sprint... someone prefer frenzy, but i prefer bash.
- secondary: WHIRLWIND (Hurricane)
this is our primary attack when we are full fury , and keep hurricane becouse run fast with this build is basic for survive
- WARTH OF THE BERSEKER (Thrive on Chaos)
with this build (and rune), you can keep the berseker for 2+ minutes without problems... and it gives crazy bonus, (+25ias, +20 dodge, +20 movment, +10 cc)... i always use it with elite packs
- SPRINT (run like the wind)
always keep is casted when you fight, ALWAYS. it's only 3 second so you have to lanch this skill many times.
The tornadoes rage in your wake is your biggest resource of life and fury, you must run trought enemyes so tornadoes will hit them many time and it will give you infinite fury & life.
You must keep it casted also when you are WWing
- BATTLE RAGE (into the fray)
- WAR CRY (impunity)
always keep on this two buff, pay attention cuz without one of them, you're fast dead.
- Passive: Ruthless, Weapon master, nerves of steel
EQUIPMENT:there isn't any end game item that i can tell you... barbian is the more expensive class i think, so more money you will spend, stronger you'll be.
I'll talk about the most important statistics, then you'll free to manage your money and improve your barb step by step, day by day.
Of course, vita, str and all res are important...they are always important, you already know it, and i've posted the requirements.
then, in my opinion the rule is:
CRIT CHANGE (cc) > ATTACK SPEED (ias) > CRIT DAMAGE (cd)
cc is basic, you need it to keep full your fury so you can use your skill... it's important to understand that this build is so FRAIL, for survive you must hit MANY times,
your defense is attackand without enought cc -> no fury -> no skill -> no hits -> DIE.
then, we can work on IAS...obviously faster hit = more hit = more life & fury!
for last, CD... dps is important, but it's the last and most expensive thing, so think to it for last
finnaly, just some notes about the items you should serach for:
(orderd by importance)
- helm: all res, crit change, stats
- amu\rings: crit change, loh, stats, crit dmg, all res
- belt: all res, stats
- chest: all res, stats
- plants: all res, stats
- boots: all res, 12% mov speed (VERY usefull), stats
- gloves: crit change, all res, stats, crit damage
- bracers: crit change, all res, stats
- shoulders: all res, stats
- hand: MUST be a axe\mace (+10cc with passive skill) with LOH, stats, crit dmg
- offhand: i prefer to use another weapon (LOH,stats, crit dmg), but a good shield with allres, cc, stats us is good too (but you'll have less dmg)
okay, I think there are every information you need to set up your WW barb and start farming inferno, i'm sorry about my english, i don't know it very well...but it's all understandable i hope.
Good luck!
