In terms of overall strength, this build is extremely powerful when properly geared, and can achieve ludicrous damage numbers with Whirlwind. Because of these changes, PD2 Whirlwind Barb is very dynamic (especially for a melee build) and offers a refreshing gameplay experience. Thanks to this, you can use it almost constantly without hindering your overall mobility.

Moreover, in Project Diablo 2, Whirlwind's velocity increases with every point, giving you more "range" (you can travel further and faster with Whirlwind active). This opens a sea of possibilities and makes Whirlwind Barb, well. In Project Diablo 2, however, this is not the case In PD2, you will achieve four frames with any weapon you use. Mainly, Whirlwind was affected by your weapon's Attack Speed which meant that you were limited to just a few weapon options if you wanted to remain competitive. Despite its popularity, Whirlwind Barb had one major weakness that came directly from its main offensive skill - the Whirlwind.

Whirlwind Barbarian is one of the most popular Diablo 2 builds (if you've ever played Lord of Destruction, chances are you know the build very well).
