questions

Hi all. I haven't been playing this game for quite some time (I guess since warcraft 3 was out), and just started playing it again recently. The 1.10 patch synergy is a great invention which gives the game a new life and makes many new types of character possible.

This time I played a lightning trapsin. Actually she is already at late hell, survived quite well, and I was lucky enough to find a bartuc at nm mephisto :). But I still have a few newbie questions:

1) does +mf has effect on killing by traps? or by my shadow? I feel +gold do. (As I am thinking whether I need to switch to ali baba when mfing)

2) my ligtning setry do quite good dmg even in hell. However, lightning immune is really a pain. Any suggestion?

3) what the hell is whirlwind/WW??? Everyone here now talking it likes it is a common sense. All I can find is it is a skill on Chaos runeword claws, but I don't know what it does and never seen it in game.

Thanks in advance!

4) oh yes, any suggestion what to put in socket of bartuc?

[Caerbannog]

1) yes
2) no
3) WhirlWind, the barbarian skill that makes a char spin around like a ballerina.
4) no

[ilkori]

1) Yes
2) Death Sentry, Shadow Master, Mercenary, Fire Blast, Blade Fury/Venom (ask if you need more explanation)
3) What Caerbannog said.
4) Depends on the build - I left mine unsocketed for my trapper (would have added an Ist for MF)

Thanks for the answer.

So it's the barbarian WW. Well of course I know barb WW. I played barb quite a lot. Just that I was wondering if it is the same WW on chaos. Interestingly, I have never seen a WWsin in game.....

Besides, some guides suggest putting an Eth in bartucs. Good or not?
