2 Questions regarding BvC in PvP

[SumoSalad]

Yup, these been bothering me for a while now:

1. All guides say to reach the max IAS for ww which is understandable. However, I also heard that slower WW = more hits.... so which one??:wink2:

2. Which is better to put points into? Shout or Iron Skin? While I LOVE raising my teammates' defence in team pk, I need to know which one raises my defence first.

Thanks, thats it!!:wave:

1.max ias (last ias break point) is more hits... slower whirlwind doesn't mean slower hitting, it means slower moving... slower moving=more time you spend next to a monster=more hits on said monster... but faster moving=more mobility and you can still return-whirl/triangle whirl after passing the monster

2.shout and iron skin BOTH raise your defense. iron skin does it passively, while you have to, well, shout to get the defense raise from shout
iron skin and shout both raise your defense by the same amount per level (10%/lvl)

iron skin gets 30% defense raise for the first point you put in it
shout gets 100% defense raise for the first point you put in it (you still have to shout)

overall: put one point in iron skin and shout and if you need more defense, then raise shout because it also benefits your teammates (after you actually shout, of course)
after maxing shout if you still need more defense, put points in iron skin

Thanks for the quick reply IAmebAdger!!!

Ok I will put 1 in Iron Skin then rest in Shout coz it synergizes Berserk too!

hope your not a pure berserker, though...
berserk reduces defense to 0 when swinging, so that 1 point iron skin is not even worth it imo...

EDIT:oops, just re-read the topic and your first post, turns out it's a WW barb, o well, good luck!
