SSF WW Barb

For the people having trouble with this build. I believe is more of a lack of mxl experience than anything else. I am struggling at level 35 but is doable. Just take it slow and follow the guide. Wulf guides are always top notch. Do some andariel farming if you're having trouble in a2! I was able to give my merc a unique weapon and he carried me through alot of tough spots lol

It's a bit squishy when you're not actively attacking stuff. I'm ripping through everything with just the T4 greatswords though.
Done all 115 quests with ease, only akarat needs more damage because he heals too fast. I haven't farmed dunc yet, but I'm sure it'll be quick.

Also, levelling this toon solo is a PITA. I hope it will be worth it later on.

I just did a single point into Lion Stance until I got my class charm and the Gale Force so you can keep that in mind. I even played with Earthquake primarily until I got the Tiered Unique weapons seemed to go alright.

Yeah, I think this is the way to go. And to not max Lion Stance first. The -phys res is a b*tch.

Also it's either that the WW skill isn't working properly or the new LCS is still lying, because adding more points in WW doesn't improve the displayed damage numbers.

EDIT: Leveling with Earthquake seems to be the way to go. A 1-point Earthquake clears faster than a 10+ WW lol.
I'll see if WW with Gale Force is even worth it at level 50.

Yeah, WW is kind of an acquired taste. Even in LOD.

I think it's just better to level with a different skill. Median WW (in the Median environment) seems to be really weak without Gale Force.

How is this build performing in 120+? Curious from those playing it.

So anyone figured out if putting points into WW does anything with damage or is it bugged atm and just leave it as a 1 pointer?

Ohh, okay, thanks for the answer

I just used Earthquake to level, works really well. Switched to WW when I got Galeforce.

I only just entered dunc at 120 with crappt t4 swords, no source of bloodlust and no minmaxing done whatsoever.
I only have 2 ripstars and a candlewake that increase damage a fair bit.

As long as you keep whirlwinding mobs just drop, I can even tank a barrel or 3. So already a pretty good farmer.
