Whirlwind

I've just started playing D2 again recently and am working on a Barb build. I figure I'm just gonna go for a WW barb. I've read all the pro's of WW but what are the cons?? Would I be better off w/ Berserk?

Re: Whirlwind

It has a high mana cost, it isn't available until level 30, you'll need to max a weapon mastery to really get the damage up to a decent level, and to a lesser extent depending on your weapon choice, chance to cast does not work with WW.

Whirlwind:
Pros: High speed, easy to use.
Cons: High mana cost, low damage, level 30 skill, "Chance to cast" doesn't work with it

Berserk:
Pros: Magic damage, high damage
Cons: PURE magic damage (no leech!!), no defense, level 30 skill

Berserk is good for playing untwinked. Just remember to put 10 pts into warcry, use a freeze merc and you'll do fine. Whirlwind is much cooler but it will suck beyond belief without the cool top gear.
