I used to use blade fury but I found it too slow... it tends to rarely hit, is blockable, only carries a portion of the damage, and if u get tele/hammered while blade furying your screwed. Blade fury takes a few frame to recover and any decent hammerdinc an tele on you and hammer right before you whirl away... I guess with practice you could do it perfectly, but too often you get hit by a hammer and there goes 1/2 your life. Max mb is definatly enough against 8-18 dr hammerdins to make them take you seriously and stop camping.

Kodachi, there is no way in hell your going to hit godly smiters and zealots enough to kill them if their life tap triggers with the ar your build would give. Even if you enchant yourself, your still only going to have about 10-12K ar or so. Once their life tap casts, your not going to get enough hits to keep their life low. The reason U-gods build rips them apart is because his ar is over 21K, which means he hits double the amount you do at least, and he can keep their life going down even when life tapped. You however could not. Remember they have 30-40k def. Your 10K ar just won't cut it.

The way I see it, your build is a caster killer only because you won't hit melee's enough, and your damage is TOO LOW. But isn't any WW sin a caster killer by nature? Dragon flight is the single best caster killer skill in the game, and your choosing not to use it so you can teleport and use lvl 1 traps? I'm very confused.....

BTW: Blade fury actually does hit hammerdins, about 1 in 5 or 6 shots. Most hammerdins don't have high def because they don't have enough points left over to max holy shield. usually only about 5-10 points in it by the time the other synergies are maxed out. Also, no exile, so you don't get the defiance bonus. Usually also they use a low str enigma like mageplate, further decreasing their defense. Hammerdins def isn't that high if their build right. You may come accross noob hammerdins with high def, but who cares cause they go down quick. The only reason your shooting blade fury is to make him teleport below you like they always do. That's when you WW straight down so they can't hit you, and you hit them, and bleed them with open wounds. Hammerdins aren't hard to kill at all once you get the hang of it. In fact, the only way you should ever lose to one once you practice is if you lag right when they teleport below you. As long as you have a good connection, I don't see how it is possible for them ever to hit you. WW down and they can't do a damn thing since their hammers spam from above and to the left of them. They will most likely just unhostile you if your good at anticipating what they ALWAYS do.

While I know that Koda's one of the best WWsins around, wu-banger makes some good points....

Against casters, plain and simple this build gets the job done 10x easier and faster, while being able to maintain being offensive.
Although weaker against melee, u have ww and will be able to win with enigma or bramble anyways.
Barbs will still beat you, but so will they beat u-gods.
This sin loses nothing and gains lots.
