SSF WW Barb

[Wulf]

---

INTRODUCTION
Patch 2.0 brought us a brand new barb tree: Windcarver (whirlwind). WW was previously held back due to its limited amount of monsters it could hit as you went through enemy packs. Gale Force is a brand new passive that fixes this issue by doing splash damage everytime a weapon touches an enemy.

This new AoE tool paired with WW’s single-target dmg capabilities makes the build viable to complete most of the games content with limited gear. This guide will cover physical dmg WW barb. Due to its large pool of good items, tankiness and linear progression, it is a very SSF-friendly character.

WW INFORMATION

► WW mechanics

• Weapons take their turn during WW
  While your barb is dual wielding, each weapon hits enemies in alternance: weap1-weap2-weap1-weap2, etc. Each of those weapons swing every 4 frames. This means you have a source of dmg every 2 frames. This gives huge value to “on atk” procs and life on melee atk (loma). In fact, loma is what will keep you alive in the lategame.
  
  
  
• Weapons are selfish when dual wielding
  Weapons don't share their “physical dmg” stats with the other weapon (str/dex does work, however). Procs, atk speed, life on atk, max & min dmg, atk rating, ewd, deadly strike, all do not help the other weapon. However, if you were to get these on armor or charms, both weapons will benefit (except for atk speed). Also, when the game detects you are dual wielding, orange text on both weapons is disabled.
  
  
  
• Make enemies surround you
  Whirlwind damages in a small AoE around you. To kill faster, have enemies surround you rather than chasing your allies around. I recommend to not use a merc, reanimates, or effects that stun enemies (like the reward skill Thundergod). You can disable reanimates with the Rest-in-Peace cube recipe.
  
  
  
• Movement speed hurts your dmg
  Whirlwind hits enemies 12 times per second. If your move speed is high, WW goes through enemies too fast and low amount of hits land. There’s a short delay before you can recast WW, so you lose dmg if you do several short distances instead of long ones. Ideally, you want a slow WW to land as many hits as possible per cast. I recommend not going above 10 move speed. This is the reason why I ignore Wolf Stance, Gladiator’s Dominance, Kingdom of Shadow charm, and opt for boots with no/low move speed. Using heavy body armors also decreases your movement velocity.
  
  
  
• Weapon range is very important
  Each weapon in the game adds range to your atk swing. Daggers are range0 and a Pike is range5. Weapon range has a major impact on how much dmg WW will do. Weapons with high range will hit more than short range weapons because enemies remain in “the danger zone” for longer as you pass through them. Sadly, for this reason, I wouldn’t recommend range0 weapons even if they have gigantic dmg, like

  .
  
  
  
  Note: A weaponless punch has a base range of 1, and weapons add their range to it. So equipping a range2 weapon will have your barb reach range3. From bossing field tests on identical setups, range3 deals approximately 25% more dmg than range2.
  
  
• High attack rating is mandatory
  Maintaining 95% chance-to-hit enemies is very important on WW barb. Not only will your hits lands more to deal dmg, but it'll also keep you alive with your life on melee attack. This is especially true for 125+ uberquests. Your barb's level also impacts your chance-to-hit enemies. Do not get baited into only using Best-in-Slot items while omitting your atk rating. Aim for at least 50k. It's fine to sacrifice big dmg armors for something that gives you more dex.

► how attack speed is calculated for WW

Attack speed on armor, charms and skills/buffs will not help you in any way. Only attack speed directly on weapons will make WW punch faster. Each weapon need their own attack speed on their personal affix list.

WW frames per atk (fpa) are calculated by taking your weapon’s Attack Speed Modifier (found here) and subtracting it to its Weapon Attack Speed (in other words, wsm – wias). The resulting number needs to reach a specific value to hit a breakpoint. Those are the values you need to reach:




Simple examples on how the calculation works

Example 1: Labrys (2h barb axe) has a base speed of +25, and you need to reach -60 for 4 fpa. This means you need to have at least 85 atk speed on your weapon to reach the cap (+25–85 = -60).

Example 2: Great Sword is a 2handed weap, but because barb can wield 2h swords in 1 hand, all 2h swords are considered 1handed. In other words, you’ll only need to reach -34 and not -60. Great Sword base is at +15, so you need 49 weap atk speed to bring it to -34 (+15-49 = -34).

Example 3: Hammerhead Axe (1h barb axe) has a base of +5, so 39 weap atk speed is needed (+5–39 = -34).

Note: Always cap your weapon’s frames to the lowest possible (4fpa). Use a mix of mystic orbs paired with jewels or gul runes. Prioritize atk speed mystic orbs on 2h axes and use gul runes on every other weaps. Obviously, use jewels with atk speed when you’re dealing with mid or late game weap runewords. Use your best judgment; do not use a gul rune when only 6 atk speed is needed as it’s better to sacrifice 1 MO slot than 1 rune slot.

SKILLPLAN & ATTRIBUTES





HOW TO PLAY

• For Farming: have WW on left-click and cast it using the shift key. It prevents accidental namelocks.
  
  
• For Bossing:
  
  • Have WW and Shower of Rocks (SoR) on right-click.
  • Simply hold right-click down while switching between both skills.
  • SoR automatically targets adjacent enemies. You just need to hold right-click down and hover over enemies. You don't need to click on monsters.
  • WW around your target following a triangle pattern (tri-WW).
  • Don't do short WWs. Fully go through your target and stop right before you're out of weapon range.
  • Ideal rotation for highest single-target dmg: SoR → 3 WW → SoR → 3 WW, repeat.

mystic orbs & sockets

Mystic Orbs
Always put five enhanced damage/defense % MOs in weaps/chest/helms/belts before you put a runeword in, it'll bypass the limit of 200%.

• Weapons: atk speed until 4fpa (alongside gul runes or jewels) → ed% to 200 → life on melee atk → ewd
• Body Armors, Helms & Belts: ed% → max dmg → dex → mf or str
• Gloves & Boots: max dmg → dex → mf or str
• Amulets & Rings: mf → psn length reduct and/or resists

Sockets
RUNES
We use Runemaster as a reward skill (gives high defense per rune socketed in gear), so we want to always socket a rune where we can. Always use indestructible weapons (zod rune/zod-crafted jewel) because durability degrades fast on 4fpa. Keep picking and upgrading runes until you're stocked.

• Weapons: Gul (until 4fpa) → 1 Zod → Jah (2h axes) or Elq (all other weapons)
• Armors: Eld → Ko → Mal → Elq

JEWELS
Runewords require jewels to fill non-rune slots. Jewelcraft using Sur rune (life on melee atk). Make a handful of Zod rune jewelcrafts (indestructible) for weapons. Keep jewels with 2 or more relevant affixes.

Relevant affixes: atk speed, atk rating, str, all attr, life, max/min dmg. (stop rolling at ilvl 86)

PROGRESSION MILESTONES & UBERQUESTSUberquests are orange-colored

Tips before starting

• Runes can no longer be downgraded, so pick them all up. You can stack them with Vessels.
  
• Open all chests you find in Act 1. They're a good rune source.
• Pickup bloodstones, ambers, onyxes (they're gems) until you have 12 perf of each. They're useful for some ubers.
• Pickup and stockpile 20+ jewels. They're used to create sockets and runewords.
• Pick up actual gold stacks. Vendoring items doesn't give anything.
• Do all quests. They have good rewards that will help your progression.


• Consume gold signet in your inv. Buy white/grey armor from vendors (ideally all 1 socket). Gamble Ono weap.
• Rescue Cain and equip

  Tier2 Great Sword (get 2 of these, 1 in each hand)
  Tier2 Fanged Helm

• We keep Cain armor and “eth” belt because resists are good.
• At lvl 49, last call for a free respec from Akara if you made a skill/attr mistake.
• After Baal 5th wave, take tp & grab Sunstone charm ( video ). Mobs hit hard → WW around the edges rather than going deep in packs.

  Both Tier2 Great Swords → Uptier to Tier3 (item + 1 arcane crystal) [don't go to Tier4 yet]
  Tier2 Fanged Helm → Uptier to Tier3 → Uptier to Tier4

  Farm the boss (taking the shortcut) until you have trophy
  The trophy will be used later on The Sleep (Atanna Khan charm), not in a wormhole charm
  Once you have trophy, ignore boss and do full clears until you have a full str charm
  If you don't have the patience for a pure str charm, you can do a str & dex charm instead
  I recommend a second charm with full vit cycles for future purify bosses (vit is better than hp cycles on barb)
• Once you have a full wormhole → do the following Uberquests:

  Run Yshari Sanctum maze for full set ( map route )
  Once you have the full set → respec to vit setup:

Great formatting, easy to read and follow

detailed and good
What I'd do is warn people that you get gale force @ level 50, when it pretty much starts being ww barb. People who quit in A2 may never even see the build in action, just saying Requires bit of patience to get there.

if they follow the guide and get 2x shark war swords, there will be no problem until lvl 50, even in a2 sewers. praise the gods for 2fpa with lion stance +flat dmg ♥

its stated in the skillplan that gale force comes at sunstone charm. but i added a "(level 50)" right after, ty for feedback

sunstone itself might be a bit of a challenge but its a timerless uber, so even with a handful of deaths theyll still get it eventually. SB also said that sunstone req will eventually be removed (engine limitation). iirc he said removed in 2.1 or 2.2.

Ahhh, here is the guide you promised, awesome. I would give you a cookie if I could

Thank you for taking the time to put together this guide, there is often a high barrier of entry for mxl, and the ability for new players to just click on random updated/relevant guides definitely helps out.
