Killed Diablo on Inferno with equip bought in the AH for 108.499k gold:

(items in the description but only on german since the update to english language is 5gb o.o)

My first post - what so ever - at d2jsp
(though a D3 gamer atm)

Regardless,
I'm currently wondering about the possiblity to use dual wield - instead of sword/shield..
Using pure ancient logic - I'd say that using anything but a shield - should be an abhor suggestion - opposed to the traditional build of damage and block.

But, as I've further noticed - people seem to succeed with the dual-wield option, despite the possible zero-block outcome..

With no further a due, I'll address my specific question:

Could dual-wielding be an option towards the wep/shield build?
Why / why not?
(If yes, does it work well in inferno aswell - where the block is most needed?)


I'd like some opinions on this!

i only play w/o shield and cleared all acts and bosses on inferno.
The problem is that it seems like the most player dont open their minds to diffrent builds with DW and still stick to that before 1.0.3 tank build.

could someone give me some advices on the offensive ww/wrath barb build ?

whirlwind (hurricane , blood funnel , dust devils ?? )
warcry ( impunity , invigorate ??)
wrath (thrive on chaos)
battle rage (into the fray)
sprint (run like the wind)
overpower ?? (crushing advance)


passive dont know ;/
weapon mastery ?
...?


stats ?? :
crit chance > all resi > str > vit > ... ?

how many loh for such an build ?

Whirlwind with hurricane
Warcry with impunity
Overpower with ca for sure!

passive:
Weapon mastery
Ruthless
and i like to use Superstition

Ok stats:
~1k+ loh
~40%+ crit chance
~600+ resist
~45k+ life
~5k+ armor

The more movement speed the better (capped at 25%)

i only have 12% on boot its more than enough with wrath.
There are some legs that give ms and tyraels armor also give ms.
Keep in mind to whirl only while you srpint + using op at monster masses/molten fire chain etc to get healed.

Dunno about that wrath but it feels like it works on top but i dont have 25% so i actually cant tell.

Need more loh

what about the offhand ?

dps doent matter ?
high loh , high attackspeed ?
maybe str/vit/crit dmg


cold dmg on weapon = slowing ?? stacks to the off hand ?
