how to continue?

i have a grandfather,doombringer and a cresecentmoon legend runeword sword....my crescemtnmoon legenend runeword is a 2 handes sword that generally has the stats of the runeword and does 150-200+ (2 handed)

20 sword mastery
20 whirlwind
20 concentrate
and hopefully 20 battleorders... everyone say i should max shout... i dont get it? if i max shout, i have to give up one of my skills .. any pointers?

hey which is the fastest?grandfather(shaeled),doombringer(shaeled) and a cresecentmoon legend runeword sword???

The legend sword.

People suggest Shout because it would've been a better place to put points than Concentrate on a whirlwind barbarian. Pumping two non-synergetic combat skills isn't the most efficient use of points.

o i see, thanks tal! and with the stats of each sword, the cresecent moon, the grandfather and the doombringer, how do you suggest for me to use it?

question 1:
as in should i use a monarch + one of the swords, or i use them as in 2 handed , or use 2 swords at the same time...

question 2:
so do i use
20 sword mastery
20 whirlwind
20 concentrate
20 battleorders or something else?

question 3:
i do quite weak damage 1700-2000+
what items do i wear? i am currently using arreats,levethian kraken armour(the green armour) raven frost and some crafted amulet that gives 1 to barb skills and regenerates mana , gore riders,draculs grasp...anything to improve on?

If you can stay alive, I would use Grandfather(shael)+Crescent sword. If not, Gf will probably do a lot more dmg than the crescent, but it will hit less, so I'd say the crescent+Storm.

1. I would use a shield in your case, because you won't be doing a ton of damage with any of those weapons to stay alive without one. Out of the three, grandfather would probably be your best bet, though if at all possible you might consider finding something more powerful.

2. For a whirlwind build, follow the guide:

20 mastery, 20 Whirl, 20 BO, 20 Shout, 1 point wonders, leftovers in ironskin.

As I told you in the earlier post, 20 in conc and whirl isn't efficient; later, when you find yourself really only using one of the two, you'll wish you had those points in a better place. Likewise, 1 conc and 20 BO already has higher damage than the 20 in whirlwind, so you're fine with that.

3. Your damage problems stem from the weapon. A better weapon would do a lot more damage. Similarly, you can get some max damage charms in your inventory and consider socketing helms/shields/armor with ed jewels to help boost you a bit.

o i see, but grandfather does less minimum damage than the doombringer....thanks though.

 

[badguywayne]

but hey is this items ok for my barb?

arreats,levethian kraken armour(the green armour) raven frost and some crafted amulet that gives 1 to barb skills and regenerates mana , gore riders,draculs grasp...

It depends on what you're going to do. For pvm, highlord's wrath would be a better amulet, and dracs won't do a whole lot for you there since the life tap won't trigger with whirlwind, meaning steelrends would be the better choice. For melee pvp, you'll need the angelic amulet and two of the rings. For caster pvp, you'd need enigma. And of course for pvp in general you'd need a better weapon.
