Loved WW in DII....might try this once I am higher level. (Just finished normal.)

Wouldn't stuff die much faster if you just spammed Revenge? Especially if you took Provocation so it could be used more often? Your Revenge seems to do astronomically more damage than many seconds of Whirlwinding.

Interesting build but could it work as well without these godly items? Also why don't you drop one of your 2 armor-generating passive for weapon master either with axe/mace to get +10% crit or mighty to get 3 fury per hit?

This look hugely fun.

Revenge would be better in the bigger packs, but having similar gear to him (more resists and str but lower crit, since I wasn't going for a crit build) in Act II, Revenge doesn't do nearly as well as Whirlwind does on the champ packs. Whirlwind I think is also the only way to make Thrive on Chaos work, which adds huge advantages for champs. Perhaps he's using WW on the large easy packs simply because it's more fun than Revenge spam, even though it would be better in those cases. Either way, it's a really versatile build, one I'd like to try, but would require a huge change in my gear.

This build is great I tried this on my barb as soon as I saw your but my crappy gear cant handle boss packs. I clear inferno act really easily but when i step into act 2 i get one shotted. I have butcher under 2 min achi etc. Great build!

wow. You kept WotB for nearly a minute? O_o that's just amazing. WW really hits so many times in second.

My question: does ww hit more if you have higher attack speed?

Man, this is a nicely build Barbarian. Congrats. My gear is the absolute suxxors compared to yours though, but it's still costing me an arm and a leg. I also really like the Helm of Command, i have one but not nearly as good as yours, the one you have must be worth a lot. Another item mod you might want to look into is life on hit. I have about 500, which isn't much, but it's noticable with Frenzy, especially if you already have a fast natural attack and use WotB. I'm assuming it to also be pretty good with Whirlwind.
Act 2 is just a ridiculously frustrating pain in the *** for me, i'm really losing the will to continue and i'm sick of farming crap gear in Act 1, sigh...

Your gear is amazing, which is the only reason why you can actually pull this off.

But, this build is also amazing. Synergizes so well, uses WW, and running WotB forever like that? Awesome.
