Sword Mastery – As this build relies on your dancing blades, Sword Mastery’s buff to sword fighting is wildly necessary.

Considering its vital nature to the build, you have to dump 20 points into the skill to make it as strong as possible. The titular Whirlwind move is a swirl of blades that does bonus damage to all enemies in its radius.

Whirlwind – This is the most important ability to the entire build.Eventually, he should spin like a Beyblade and cut through entire crowds of monsters, while still easily surviving the clash. You focus on the Whirlwind ability and then use different character and weapon buffs to make the damage and endurance of your Barbarian astronomical. Skills (base): shout(20), battle orders(20), concentrate(20), battle command(1), battle cry(1), iron skin(1), natural resistance(5), increased speed(1), sword mastery(13), mace mastery(1), axe mastery(1), berserk(1), leap attack(1).The main point is “spin to win” when it comes to the Whirlwind build. Notable items: headstriker (upg, shael), shaftstop (upg), whitstan's, ravenfrost, string of ears, lava gout, goblin toe The character level is from the moment Baal died.īarbarian level 82 (Concentrate with shield)Īll stats below with merc's might, full warcries, charms, items Some info is missing due to those heroes no longer existing. Now it's time for the more in-depth information on each of my Guardian heroes. My play style is very conservative, due to death being very expensive to me: all items belonging to that character are gone, and must be found again upon character re-creation. Sorceress (Frozen Orb/Fireball) - easy to aim, direct damage highly mobile, but not very safe in Hell Paladin (Hammerdin) - good killing speed, aiming takes some skill needs a bit of block/physical damage reduction in Hell

Necromancer (Summoner) - decent killing speed, least item dependent safest in Hell due to having many tanks

Amazon (Freezing Arrow) - slow, item dependent the hardest to get to GuardianĪssassin (Lightning Trapper) - fast killer, very low item dependence very safe in Hellīarbarian (Concentrate with shield) - slow until a good weapon is found Hell was very safe, but needs good itemsĭruid (Tornado/Hurricane) - has decent tank, hard to aim tornadoes, good damage, decently safe in Hell
