Though you'll want to avoid obvious attacks (you've got the mobility, just move away), incidental damage is going to happen this is how you solve that problem.Ĭritical Strike Damage - It's a build based on critical strikes, why not make them SUPER EFFECTIVE?Īttack Speed - Makes your tornadoes and Whirlwind tick faster, what's not to love?

Life on Hit/Lifesteal - This is how you're going to survive the damage you're tanking. Any less than 35% is going to leave you wanting on fury unless you specifically focus on fury generation (and therefore sacrifice damage). For maximum effectiveness, shoot for 50% buffed. The Hurricane rune lets you keep your sprint-enhanced mobility and encourages even more tornadoes to form, perfect for cutting down monsters and cutting time off of your run.Ĭritical Strike Chance - This is the lifeblood of this build, giving you the fury you need to keep fighting. Dealing AoE damage that can crit and granting you the ability to pass through monsters while Whirlwind is active, mobility has never looked so good. In this build, this skill is absurdly good.

Whirlwind (Hurricane) - At first glance, this skill is good. This buff cannot be renewed before it expires, so spam away! Due to the potential to critically hit as well as triggering Life on Hit (LoH), this skill not only enables this build to survive with extra mobility but also generates enough fury to let this build thrive. Generating tornadoes that remain stationary and tick multiple times per second, the only trick is to travel enough distance to generate them.

Sprint (Run Like the Wind) - Despite this build's namesake, this skill and its rune are your foremost damage dealers. Keep in mind that the effect only lasts for 120 seconds at a time, and should be up at all times. Whirlwind Barbarian is an MP10-viable Barbarian build that utilizes critical strike chance to abuse Battle Rage (Into the Fray), effectively giving you a fury generator for near-limitless AoE farming.īattle Rage (Into the Fray) - Your core fury generation skill, the skill itself offers additional damage and critical hit chance while the rune enables you to generate fury when you crit.
