View Full Version : Triangle Whirls
I've read dumbpig's, blobs (which are the same person?), mcm's, dyn's and morotsjos's BvC guides. But still, I cannot figure why it's so hard to do even a half-decent triangle whirl, in a real situation. Of course versus monsters it's a bit easy, but when I get to a real situation, i get all nervous and start panicing, so that I press wrong hotkeys and do bad whirls. So that has made me wonder, how the hell do people do such fine triangle whirls? Are they just over-good or over-confident, or have they practised for a looooooong time? And as for my hotkeys, I doubt it being their reason, since i use

over-confident and good practice. nothing wrong with hotkeys. just try practicing with friends who tele slowly, or try pubs and squelch everyone so they dont stress you.

the best practice i find to improve triangle Whirlwind is against chars like CSZons or something.
The reason for this is u almost have to WW properly to pull off a win on this as when u triangle Whirl this character u avoid the bulk of the attack which is the high dmg deadly sparks.
I think it is also a good idea to test on a stationary target first, i.e a friend then when u get better move to practicing a target moving
hehehehe why dont you try and practice leap-attack-WW-Zerk on a few targets... THEN you'll know what it feels like to screw up your hotkeys...

:P Well, i mean like, i tele around a lot, and then i leap a few times, and tele ww. It's not really that my hotkeys are screwed, it's just that i press them in wrong order due to low confidence and panicing. What i was surprised was that I just was in a game with my 2 friends and some of their friends. They had a fight over a price of something, so I said "why don't you just accept the fact that you are both dumbasses?" They started talking tough and challenging me. Well, i beat all of them quite a few times, and then they started making up talk about how their ping is too high... (and there was 3x hammerdin, 1x smiter, 1x lightning sorc, 1x foher :p)
Btw, god I love my new connection, 8mb instead of the old 1mb. It's damn nice to always have like 50 ping. Also, we just today vacuumed the insides of my pc, and it was all dusty. No more c0000005 on diablo and error messages on others. Now I can finally lvl my barb :p
