Git gud and stack your own mana/life leech to steal back from them.

and can't leech if you can't fucking cast any spells since you just went come 100% to 0% in one single hit from a pack mob because you were whirlwinding.
now you can either spend a rejuv and then get hit again or you can quit the game

I played a whirlwind, conc, and frenzy barb on the d2jsp melee ladder with great success.

at one point i was top 5, and i beat people with smiters and zeal pallys and shit like that.

I think both of you are scrubs and should try playing path of exile.

Personally, I'd just drop the character altogether. The barbarian is by far the worst character to play solo with.

Those items might be acceptable if this was normal difficulty, but this is clearly nightmare since Lister has two monster affixes.

Alright anon I pity you so I'll give you a single-player cheat. In the chat box put in /players8 or /players 8, and hit enter. This'll multiply your dmg/exp/etc. by eight. After that you should just destroy them in one whirlwind, or at least make it significantly easier.

>>377684761

>doing this badly with a drop mod installed
>having that much faster run/walk as a whirlwind barbarian

Nigga, Tearhaunch and Sigon's Wrap are so shit tier you'd be better off with magic items. Just because something is gold doesn't mean it is better than everything else. Also, run/walk is bad with whirlwind since it means you get less hits per whirlwind.

Skeleton necromancer is the go-to. Max out raise skeleton, then skeleton mastery, then corpse explosion. No character is more trivial.

>>377685016

For Sigon's Wrap, basically anything is better. +20% fire resistance and +20 life is absolutely pathetic. I found this within two minutes of rerolling the shop. If a vendor can supply something better than you are wearing, than you might want to consider suicide. As for boots, you could craft some Safety boots and get something far better than that shitty Tearhaunch.

Normal duriel diablo and ancients are the hardest thing for a summon necro with nightmare ancients right behind those

A barbarian speed run isn't hard either, but no one is going to play it melee when war cry is entirely gear independent.

Play on version 1.09 and you can get adequate gear by cubing chipped gems with swords. On any version past that, good fucking luck finding good enough gear.

Whirlwind can do crushing blow. The only things whirlwind doesn't do that other attacks can do are off-weapon increased attack speed, chance to cast on attack and chance to cast on striking.

>>377687127
you can talk to warriv without ruining it, you just have to make sure not to talk to anyone else

Crafting is generally for rich folk and/or niche builds, and even then rares may be preferable. I imagine its lottery-like chances of making anything worthwhile was created with endgame players in mind to begin with.

>>377689638

Fury wolf isn't all that difficult. Solo whirlwind on the other hand does piss poor damage, is very slow and has insane mana consumption. Whirlwind is a rich man's skill.

>>377689934
Fury wolf has a bunch of issues like also being Mana hungry, range issues, and often enough misses once so the rest of the attack misses or you get hit but don't stagger, but you're still locked into the animation. Fury wolf is a pain in the ass with shitty defenses
