Theres not really any need for what you are asking for. Once you get to 50, respec at akara (its free, but not at 51 and up). Take each of the skills that he has listed under "when available" including shower of rocks and aftermath. After that, start maxing out the skills listed under "max in order", starting with lion stance, then ww, gale force etc. Thats the full skill plan you need to follow.
Side note: If you are struggling with survival when you come to the ww passives, start from the bottom, since thats the one that gives life on attack.

Either because they teleport away all the time while nuking you, making you unable to get heals from attacks, or bc they slow you after teleporting away etc etc. Keep it up tho bc ww is the most broken class for farming rifts such as duncraig, fautz and slosglen with their good aoe and amazing heal on attack.
You seem experienced with the later stuff in the game, have you used WW for any of the 125 ubers or later? Should I just make it a farming character for rifts? is there a better boss focused build I'd like to at least get some of the charms myself. And yeah seems very anti-melee/ww which kind of takes the fun out of it. I made wind runners and strength beyond and lucked my Yaggai's have 49k AR but my WW damage is only 11-13k. I'm missing some sigs so I gotta finish up my homework with that. But idk where else I should be adding damage

I have tried astrogah, xazax etc, ww dont really work for those bosses, ww just isnt made for that late game, at least not what i know. Wulf mentioned that he managed to get about 20-36k ww in beta, and 5-6k str, so if you really wanna min max, you have to farm the charms that provide str like the umbaru treasure, cube the sleep charm with triune for attri %, str wormhole charm from the triune as well etc. But i would use the ww barb to farm, and then make a more late game oriented char, i dont know if other barb specs work for late game.
In the guide you Wrote:
Important: look out for sacred bases for runewords (green oil them as they drop & keep highest rolled ones: Hammerhead Axe, Greaves, Ancient Armor, Crown, Gauntlet)
Always MO ed% before putting the runes in. It bypasses the 200%ed cap
What runewords to put in once we find them? same runewords you stated leveling early game? Just not sure how these sacred bases could be better if i have all the TU's you said to get prior to Hell Act 1.
What runewords to put in the sacred bases is my question.
Says Base Setup
1) 2x Anak (sacred Hammerhead Axe): Use some weak jewelcrafts. (MO ed% before sockets). Add 2 atk speed MOs.
But then you say keep weapon sockets empty for Eld Runes? do i fill with eld runes? or use the rune word? im confused.
Im currently Act 3 Hell, and have done all UBER's and got charms listed to get up to Jitan using none of the sacred base's yet.
P.S.: So far im in love with this build and the guide...just confused on the sacred gear upgradeing part in Hell

Yeah when it comes to bosses this build just struggles. I'm going to use this dude for farming and make another char straight for just boss killing. So far I can't do any of the bosses that you mentioned.
