My WW Pk Barb

[WildfireFX]

im just wondering if this build is decent. i dont like concentrate for duels, i believe WW is still the uber move it was in 1.09. That being said, ive made a WW tanker build that's made to have massive def... and obviously make use of the whirlwind skill.

made to tank mainly melee, and do decent pvm as i plan on lvling into the 90s.

Skills:
20 whirlwind
20 shout
20 battle orders
20 iron skin
20 sword mastery

1 into pre reqs and other needs like increased speed, natural resists. This means exactly 110 points. Id better not screw up on skill placement at lvl 89 or some crap hahaha.

190 str (for my gf mainly, also adds some dmg.)
dex for max block w/ ss
rest vita

You forgot the weapon mastry.

 

[WildfireFX]

yes, i meant to include that.

-edits-

ok, so you think this build would work.. nothing else to throw points into other than iron skin, so yeh.

 

[Andrew]

seems fine to me, give it a whorl!

i have a barb thats pretty close to the same as urs, except i left iron skin at 1 pt and have 5 pts in natural resistance. i still have a few pts left to spare right now. it actually works pretty well.

 

[Andrew]

i used to have a barb liek that in 1.09 and he kicked some a$$

 

[WildfireFX]

cool, sounds like my ideas arent terribly off track.

 

[ArcaneLegend]

personally i think it works just a tad bit better in pvm. ud need a pt in berserk then. the only time i ever die is when i get iron maidened in the middle of a whirlwind.

 

[golinot]

See if you can get a azurewrath also?

 

[Ntrik_]

why dont you put like 10 pts in natural resistnace too.. if u got low resist items, sorcs will pwn joo.

 

[WildfireFX]

resists wont be too much of a prob ive umed a few things.. this is NL so azure= no. Im using GF. Valor for life. And i cant add one to beserk because... this build is exactly the right amount of points, and besides i dont need to kill immunes- thats what ppl in my party are for.

as far as nat. res go, ill have lvl 7-10 with + skills.. no need for more than base.

the only flaw with this is ill need a crapload of mana pots.

You know how easy it is to make an ownage WW barb that can own melee and non? VERY Easy.

I do however think I should change your build around for you.

20 Whirlwind
20 Shout
20 Battle Orders
20 Iron Skin
20 Natural Resistance
Rest Pre-reqs/ Battle Command

Dude, fuck the mastery, it's overrated.

Now then, onto stats.

Str - With the right gear, you don't need to go crazy on your str..I suggest enough to use all your gear with the help of added str bonuses from your gear. You will still do considerable damage.

Dex - 135

Vit - Rest, you will end up with a lot of vit by 90+

Enr - Base.

This setup with the right gear can own melee and non with ease.

20 Natural Resistance, thats too much, ur gear will cover that.

At least put some pts in Mastery, it gives more dmg n gives u Critical Strike.

Battle Command only needs 1 pt, thats it, it only increase the duration.

 

[ArcaneLegend]

dex is based on what gear u use. my barb at lvl 91 has 140 base dex, and with items it goes up to 230...which is excessive already.

 

[WildfireFX]

ugh well that build does lowass dmg, im afraid. i just spent all day lvling him and ww is just...bad.

Get a BOTD eth CB, genius.

ROFLMFAO..

Are you kidding me?

What are you gonna do when a max convic pally with a lower res weap owns ur ass with hammers or FoH? Or a sorc with a lower res wep?

20 Natural Res helps a lot.

"it only increase the duration"

No shit, the longer you have + skills, the longer u do better dmg.

Crit strike and dmg from a mastery?

Rofl..you get like a total of 20 dmg added and your crit strike is easily taken care of with dex and/or items.

Wat i do to a sorc/FoH?Tele, Berserk, there he should b dead.

More pts in battle Command...lol.. Is that duel goin to last 5 minute long?

Pts in Mastery will give them CS(do double the dmg) is always good, n BOTD doesnt give any CS. Also it give u more dmg, but very lil, so the choice is up to the person, max or some pts in Mastery.

Every1 hav there own builds n opinion, n this is mines.

LOL, you act as if everyone has access to one, and "chooses" not to use it. How about you give me one? Yeh, thought so.

 

[Jason]

You play non ladder, how DON'T you have one?

 

[WildfireFX]

captain obvious says its because i cant afford one. i wonder how you ever got mod-ship here, cause your attitude towards posters is crap.
