Whirlwind Focused Dungeon Support Build

This build is focused on supporting Dungeon and Elder Rift parties by highlighting Whirlwind's AoE damage and utility while providing damage and movement speed buffs with the Legendary-enhanced versions of Demoralize and Sprint.

Legendary Gear Setup

The core Legendary items of this build are The Gathering, Battlemaster's Helm, and Swiftwing. These three items provide the build with the most utility by adding a vacuum effect to Whirlwind, turning Demoralize into a damage buff, and providing Sprint's speed boost to nearby allies.

Eager Maelstrom and Ydama's Cyclone improve Whirlwind's radius and damage respectively, while The Remembered turns Hammer of the Ancients into a Spirit that stuns on summon, enhancing the build by improving its AoE utility.

Set Gear Choice

For this build, Grace of the Flagellant is the set of choice. It directly synergizes with Whirlwind by improving Channeled damage and providing benefits whenever you hit enemies multiple times.

Legendary Gem Setup

The core Legendary Gems of the build are Trickshot Gem and Bottled Hope. These two gems boost Whirlwind's channeling duration and provide extra damage and movement speed buffs to Sprint and Demoralize respectively.

The rest of the Legendary gems in the build are used as they improve the damage potential of Whirlwind by directly increasing its damage or by providing a chance to inflict strong damage-over-time effects.

Stats and Paragon Priorities

Attribute Priorities

Strength Strength is core to all Barbarian builds as it directly contributes to Damage and Combat Rating.
Vitality Vitality is crucial to the build as it increases Life and Combat Rating, which increases your survivability while using Whirlwind.
Attack Speed Attack Speed is also a vital stat as it directly affects the frequency at which Whirlwind deals damage.
Critical Hit Chance Critical Hit Chance is particularly strong in this build as Whirlwind hits multiple times at a fast rate.
Critical Hit Damage Alongside Critical Hit Chance, Critical Hit Damage enhances the potency of critically hitting with Whirlwind.

Paragon Priorities

Vanquisher > Treasure Hunter > Survivor

Prioritize spending points in the Vanquisher tree to get Zeal and Wrath as soon as possible. These two skills increase movement speed and damage dealt, which directly synergizes with Whirlwind and the rest of the build's kit.

Afterwards, invest some points into Treasure Hunter to get Swift Learner and Gold Find, boosting your Experience and Gold gain as you clear out Dungeons.

Lastly, put points into Survivor to get Unyielding and Escape Artist, improving your survivability as a melee class.

How to Play



Keep Party Buffed with Sprint and Demoralize

Diablo Immortal - Sprint and Demoralize

The primary goal of the build is to support your party as much as possible with movement speed and damage boosts from your enhanced Sprint and Demoralize.

Always keep these two abilities off cooldown to optimize your damage and maneuverability within Dungeons and Elder Rifts.

Group and Clear Monsters with Whirlwind

Diablo Immortal - Whirlwind Mobs

When faced with a large group of monsters, use Whirlwind to pull them in and clear them out. On top of your Demoralize and Sprint buffs, this ability makes short work of any small mobs in your party's path.

Keep Hammer of the Ancients Off Cooldown

Diablo Immortal - Hammer of the Ancients Use
Always use Hammer of the Ancients whenever it's active. The enhanced effect it obtains from The Remembered drastically improves your survivability by allowing you to interrupt enemy skills with the stun and by summoning a Spirit that will fight alongside you.
