looks like a nic option here with this fire spell dmg bonus also maby auhe belt nice synergy.

About stats im considering full vit cause i dont see benefit from str here, and dex can be covered with metalhead. Also barb have nice 3hp/vit so it should work nice
What do you think guys ^^, i realy would use some help with that one

Hi, a bit long for short question maybe.. but.. I don't THINK you want to focus on Life on Striking. Assuming Whirlwind does a bit of damage, life leech i think would be better, with life on attack, if Whirlwind is considered an attack...

Life on Striking will proc for anything that carries wdm, so that does include whirlwind, but generally people go for it mainly if they don't have access to life on attack.

Ur right i think ill make theard in discussion for it ^^, ww dont do much base dmg i think, look at weapon dmg its mostly elemental and wdm only for proc triggering so im not sure if ll would do the job

, also want to know if it is considered as meele attack

When using throw skills as a barb, what speed type is it (referring to the SpeedCalc tool). Because with the same weapon and IAS, melee attacks seem to hit a lot faster than throw skills.

Does Mana Sweep not steal mana from bosses?? At least it seems to me that it doesn't... But I would like to make sure.

enchant crystal still drop in the void ? just curious.

are there ant movement speed breakpoints? different classes move different also i noticed

What is the % damage of knife throw procs?

Is there a % cap on

- Crushing Blow
- Deadly Strike
- Stun Attack(?)

Trying to get my 116 bowazon geared up and realized these attributes are crucial in survival/killing speed but dont wanna overdo it and waste gear slots.

It does, but since its only hitting 1 monster you won't receive much mana back. Just spam it till you're full if you need to.

WW is 100% WDM and gives a 600% damage bonus. If you are clearing packs life/mana leech and on attack work well. For bosses the 360 mana cost is tough to sustain.
