WW barbs equip - Sword Guard and EBOTD a good choice? (nl)

[Punkonjunk]

simple question -
is swordguard and a high ebotd a good choice for a non ladder ww barb?
If not, whats a better PVP weapon choice?

[Halciet]

Swordguard? That's not a very good choice for pvp. BotD/Beast is the combo of choice for BvC NL whirlwind barbs, or BotD/Stormshield for BvB.

Furthermore, axes would be a better choice than swords.

Thanks, I'll try to hook up with some beast. (that sounds... wierd.)

Swordguard is what turned my conc barb from a tank into a moving wall of "ROFL @ FRENZYTAUR!!!"

Swordguard? That's not a very good choice for pvp.

"not a very good choice". isn't that like saying "it's just ok"? You're too nice Hal.

Phunkonjunk - it is about as bad as it gets. for ww, particularly bad - very very slow. if it wasn't for the extra damage, this would be a shield :lol:

how do you manage to hold a ebotd in one hand and a swordguard in the other and not know if the swordguard is right for the build? did you just start playing and you bought the ebotd off ebay? (sorry, that was a little rough)
