i have a question, why are whirlwind barbs and paladins so hard to hit with a melee attack?
What is a good attack rating to have to make sure you have a good chance at landing a hit?
Would a concentration aura be better to use than fanaticism?

this is because WW is a caste, and cannot be interrupted. make sure you have max block. its easiest if you shift click them. hope that helps

I never had trouble hitting most barbs with around 12k or so. Just make sure you're in range. They're one of the easiest kills for a good zealot.

edit: if you try to shift and tank his ww you'll get raped if he's a really good barb. But that does work vs most pub bvcs

He perfer shaft builds.

I perfer unique builds ie; GBANE/VALOR/C,c/etc.

Reason why I like unique or unusual build because it's hard to win with the builds then vs a shaft user. :D More of a challenge.
