While “pure” Thorns builds that rely entirely on getting hit are incredibly gimmicky outside of PvP, Thorns naturally enhance the basic Whirlwind strategy. This version of the build also runs the “Thorns” package. Iron Skin is another interesting option, especially since you can convert its Barrier to extra damage via Legendary Aspects. It’s an incredibly effective AoE stun effect that can also reduce your Ultimate cooldown or generate Fury (we’re going with the former). So what eventually replaces Lunging Strike? Well, Ground Stomp is the most popular choice at the moment. Realistically, though, you’re going to have to rely on a basic skill to generate Fury until you’re able to get a good roll on those items and supplement your Fury reserves through your gear. Aspect of the Echoing Fury (which grants you Fury while your Shouts are active) also ends up generating a ton of resources when paired with Bold Chieftain’s Aspect. So what do you do to generate Fury? Well, Whirlwind will actually generate most of its own Fury thanks to the upgrades we’re taking, especially if you’re attacking massive packs of enemies. However, your ultimate goal with Whirlwind Barbarian is to no longer rely on a basic attack. You can run Lunging Strike in this build well into the endgame if you choose to do so. Not only does Lunging Strike offer a sneaky way to get around Barbarians’ mobility problems, but it obviously generates Fury as the other Basic skills do. After all, there are many versions of Whirlwind Barbarian that utilize Lunging Strike.
While Whirlwind Barbarians are nowhere near as strong as they used to be, they’re still incredibly powerful compared to most other things out there.įirst off, let’s talk about this build’s lack of a Basic skill. No build has been nerfed quite as hard or quite as often as Whirlwind Barbarian.
