Armor could be a little higher but it looks totally fine and should work if you get familier with the build. You should put a Ruby in your Helm though, getting higher Paragon should be better than 25% MF which don't do a lot in the long run.

My new gears... I missed out on a good chest and shoulders, so I'm kinda sad. There was a chest I wanted with 150str/150vit/65AR/3 sockets! Shoulders I was looking at had 250str/150vit/68AR

holy shit dude, thats some sweet ass set of gear. the only thing that does not fully convince me are your weapons. but thats just a gut feeling, i didnt do the maths.


yeh, only bad about the weapons is no Strength rolls. Though I make that up with higher rolls on the rest of the pieces.

Thanks, that's what I figured. It's a magical thing when I get and hold my ww. So awesome and fun! But very sad when you drop it in the middle of a pack TT lol :p

Yeah, sounds like it's a L2P thing. After a few trial-and-error runs, you shouldn't have a problem judging when you can maintain WW.

For the most part, I only do 3-4 passes maximum through a group, and only really keep WW going against Elites.

The issue could also be that you're not keeping Sprint going while you're whirling, or that you're not making large enough circles to spawn enough tornadoes.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

Yeah actually (stupidly) I wasn't focused on sprint nearly enough. I heard that I should be doing it but it was low on my priority list of things to do during a fight. I accidentally figured out that that is the most important thing (after dying countless times lol). Still figuring some things out but that one thing feels SOO much better.

So is it normal to show lower dps than what you actually do with ww? I bought an off hand that looked like a big upgrade (but lower dps since that doesn't matter right?) but my dps went down quite a bit.

Correct. Character sheet DPS doesn't tell you much with this build. It's still useful to determine whether a piece of hear is an upgrade, but NOT for offhand weapon. It also gives no indication of sustainability.

Perfect, thank you!

edit - WW barb is so fun and so good! Thanks again to all that helped me out, it's greatly appreciated!

Isn't desecrater physical damage?

I think it could balance out with the fact that all enemy damage was reduced by 15% yeah?

Too bad it's probably too expensive for me to try out.

i picked mine up for just over a mil so it isnt too expensive since 1 mil is like nothing in this new economy, i could either resell this or find a way to incorporate it into my build, its nice to see a sudden poison nova burst down an entire mob when im WWing through it but losing almost all your health passing through molten is pretty brutal

Ah I can't check AH right now, but I figure one with a socket would be pretty expensive.

I also use Overpower since I got used to it before it got nerfed, but that 35% damage reduction is still useful.

Hello,

I was wondering if I could get your help and input on improving my WW barb for faster Act 3 clears. My current budget is 50,000,000.

There are so much cool stuff to by and I am slightly confused on where to spend the money to get the most bang for my buck.

Here is my setup
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/uma-2985/hero/2220727

At the moment a complete act 3 clear takes me 2.5 hours. Obviuosly I would love to get my hands on gear like Tyreals Might, Lacuni Prowlers, Fire walkers and Andariels visage. But that might not be the most cost effective way of improving? I have a hard time figuring out in what slots to get certain stats.

I would like to mention that my immidiate budget is 50 mill, but I am looking to invest more in a near future so I am looking for longterm feedback as well.

I would love your input on 25 % movement speed for faster clears? and how to go about too get that cost efficient.
My main weapon is pretty rubbish maybe thats where I need to improve?

All hints or tips would be very much appriciated.

Best
Niklas

You know, I try to give good advice to people starting out their WW Barbs, and I don't think I lead them wrong, but I feel like I'm stuck where I am, and I don't really know how to upgrade this stuff. I see profiles of WW Barbs who built completely different from me, but often have twice as much damage, and about the same survivability.

I tell people to shuffle the stats around on their gear to optimize stat/slot ratios, but I'm wondering if I'm somehow not following my own advice. Anyone see anything that stands out on this that perhaps I'm just blind to? Maybe it's just a matter of throwing more gold at it?

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Sylvr-1850/hero/20429053

Edit: I just started farming A3, and it feels pretty good. I might die once or twice a run, but that's usually just carelessness or lag. Even so, I want higher numbers damnit!

Oh, and this is my friend's WW Barb that I walked him through building on a 6M budget... same DPS as me... which is another reason I feel like I'm doing something wrong, unless I just got a bunch of his gear really cheap. I straight gave him his second ring, so that doesn't count toward the budget.

I replaced my weapons, and the difference was huge, even though my listed dps barely changed, it feels like my sprint damage went up by 60-70%.

Im wondering, what should I improve next? Im thinking of getting an andariels visage or a fire walkers, but Im not sure which one, and how much more durability I can afford to sacrifice. Budget is about 30m.

How long do you guys think weh can have our WW Barbs completely stomping this game and being the best farmers in the game? I think 1.0.5 will nerf Barbarians, what about you?

Wow...so a couple days ago I asked for some advice as I hadn't played since 1.03 release...all I have to say is that this new WW/sprint barb is quite a bit of fun and easily stomps A3, it's hilarious actually. I spent roughly 15M on some upgrades and transformed my classic tanky barb (that CRAWLED through A3) to a crit producing machine. Today was the first time I've ever used the build, and after some practice in A1 for a bit, I went to A3 and crushed it with not a single death. Thank you to everyone who posts advice on here, it is so much appreciated!!!

Oh and kind of off topic, but have legendary drops increased? I got 2 ilvl 63 legendaries on my single A3 run today.

Finally, I'd like some advice on what slots I can improve for the biggest dps gain...preferrably the most cost effective. Also, are there specific legendaries that I should be considering?

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Bairemuth-1169/hero/788725

I now have 47M to spend. Thank you Manticore!

i dont think they will completely shut the build down. the only thing that is broken about the ww/sprint build imho is the possibility to get perma-wrath and thus perma-cc-immunity.
but even without that, the build is very strong.


and its not like other classes with good gear werent stomping the game just like we do. with ww/sprint , it might just be cheaper to reach this level. and sprint innately is an extremely good ability for speedfarming/-lvling. this cant be prevented without making sprint as a whole useless.
