Keep in mind, if you are starting with Barb as your initial ladder build, you are going to be a bit behind other players (sorc). Practice the different ww techniques: tight triangles, kiting pack edges that mana burn (though I think mana burn was removed or made it child safe), kiting around huge packs, etc… Zerk, etc… I personally max Battle Cry to curse large packs, removing all their defence and half their damage. Some max howl others max Find Item or Shout and still others buff Nat Res. Infinity (removes 83% of boss defence as well as enhances elemental damage from charms and jewelry.) Resistances don’t need to be maxed with this build. Using the right act 2 merc and weapon for him, as well as using the right weapon on switch to curse bosses, I’m confident double grief will be the fastest boss killer in the game.Ģ x Grief in PB (on switch Amp curse for bosses and Lister pack)ħ rows of Sharp g charms, torch, anni and resist charms.

Since 2 weapons is the only way to go now, I don’t play D2R, however, I did try out double grief in phase blades, and they still work well. Unfortunately with D2R, with the lack of mathematicians on the development team, they were unable to understand how ww worked in D2 LoD so they ended up breaking whirlwind with 2 handed weapons, cutting the kill speed of 2 handed weapons virtually in half.

The last 5 character levels is 99.9999% of the experience a character needs to get to 99. Whirlwind using eBotD TM in D2 LoD 1.14d is the most powerful end game build, as nothing else kills Diablo, Nihl, Throne and Baal faster - these monsters, in the last 5 character levels, is where all the experience comes from.
