In my opinion WW barbarians are probably the best duelers in MVP and PVP.

1) They have access to one of the fastest skills in the entire game.
2) They are capable of having the most life of anyone in the entire game.
3) They are on a very fast cast table (like sorcs).
4) WW mechanics make it very hard to land a melee blow unless you're a smiter.
5) WW allows you to literally plow through dozens of creatures scoring many hits in a matter of seconds.
6) Barbarians are capable of having one of the highest defenses in the game.
7) WW is so powerful, that its been nerfed numerous times by blizzard.

Now all of this is subjective. I am VERY biased (I love barbarians). I know there are characters that could have higher life (a barbarian/wolf hybrid) or possibly higher defense (palidans) or even WW itself (asassins) but as far as having the best versatility and attacks/defense very few can come close.

Also. A good character is only as good as the person behind the computer. So, if you can't control you character then a WW barb will do you no good.

I would def. pick up one of the pvp WW guides. The funnest build I've had so far is my 91 BVC barb who pwns cocky sorcs.

PvPwise, yes. PvMwise, maybe.

better than frenzy and whatever else barbs turn into?

PvPwise, yes, PvMwise, not.

are they better than zealers or hammerdins(doubtful).

PvP: One of the best
PvM: Very Good.

2) They are capable of having the most life of anyone in the entire game.

This is false. A perfect Windy can have 8 600 life. A perfect Wolf can have up to 10 000.

I did. Plus, it seems like he's thinking of PvM, since Zealots just don't cut it in PvP, but they do in PvM.

so frenzy barbs are better than ww in pvm? how much better? i thought ww was the fastest barbarian killing weapon since it can do crowd control and continuesly leach ?

[SicHalo]

frenzy barbs are about equal maybe even slightly better as they can do everything in pvm like Uber etc.
Although ww is better for crowd control if u get mana burned in a dangerous crowd, i.e hell cows a chief cow with fana aura + mana burn mods and he hits you in a crowd u could prolly die where as frenzy u can switch to double swing which is a free attack and both frenzy and double swing can be used for chances to cast, i.e lifetap amp etc, where as whirlwind does not work with chances to cast.

And as stated if u pvp and do "light" pvm then Whirlwind is the best as its the only real viable pvp build barbs have, however if u pvm then frenzy is the best

frenzy for pvm ,
ww for pvp as said above.
