Topic: Diablo 3 Whirlwind Improvements

One of the most exciting things (to me) about Diablo 3 ...

Hrm. Well currently I've been sort of thinking about a Whirlwind build (not super original I know), but Whirlwind is a 'draggable' skill now. You can control it by holding down the mouse button and direct yourself around, same as walking around (although it's a slower turn radius). Which makes it way more awesomer, obviously; the offset is it chews through Fury like woah.

I want to see if it's possible to make a viable infinite Fury regen build to feed it. Ideally truly infinite Fury isn't possible, but the bigger challenge is the viable bit. Stacking regen is possible, but potentially sacrificing damage output or reduction could make it really boring, or just unusable.

Click drag is definitely great for Barbarians, now they actually stand a chance in PvP. :]

I wonder if whirlwind will be as useful as it was during D2.

You can almost be sure of it, it's still one of the most powerful Barb skills, and will definitely have several builds focused on it.

I'm not really a Barb player but this seems to make it so WW Babas won't be EZPK anymore. Which is a good thing, sort of. Rage quitting barbs were always funny.
