Ya it makes me laugh when people say there is no variance like d2

I'm like uhh... Stop playing a barb then


There are a lot of options. I just wanted this guide out there for others to get a good reference of the "Famous WKL C-C Build". As the patches progress, there will be even more options I am sure of.

There are better options with attack choices against ubers.  You never want to run out of spirit against them, that's too risky.

Look at the first page, the first choice build in mercenary should be there.


Thanks. Is this build a good choice for ubers? or should I use bell? I am also thinking of Air Ally as a shield.
my profile here, tweaking with armor and weapon at the moment. screen dps kind of low now with WKL on. I think with Bell I should probably try a different weapon other than WKL? thx guys.

Before anything, you need to put your ef on the mainhand. Your wkl has super low weapon dmg. Bell takes the weapon dmg of mainhand.

For uber, quickening on FoT is good too. Lots of options really.

thx man! will do that right now lol.
question about WKL: does the %light dmg apply to the other weapon's dmg as well? eg, if my EF is swung in the Thunderclap, does its lightening dmg got 25% more? thx.

Unless it was changed, WKL's lightning damage only applies to attacks made with WKL.

Where did you get this information?

FOT and SW Cyclone dmg is always applied by bonus from WKL regardless of which hand swung the last.

This is just like other elemental dmg increased modifier.

But bell doesn't get the bonus from wkl obviously.

Pillar of Ancients rune for WoL does weapon damage type meaning it would get the %dmg increase from WKL fyi.

Or at least I think it does from what I remember reading once.

Honestly, you'll need more than 300m. I recommend getting the best WKL weapon you can, along with your other weapon once you save enough gold.
