So first time poster here. I've scoured the posts about barbarians that are asking for help with their gear and I thought I'd ask myself. Just another average WW build barbarian but I'm really new to the WW build. I've been a sword and board Barb until recently when I decided to give WW a try. I'm currently farming Act II and a bit of the beginning of act 3(up through Ghom). Any advice is helpful.
Theres a few changes you're going to need to make to help your build.
Firstly, you need an axe/mace or a mighty weapon for crit chance or fury generation. Your base crit is right about where you want to start, but i'm surprised you're not a bit fury starved.
Secondly, you may want to raise your HP alittle bit. I try to aim for 40k at minimum to provide an extra buffer for the harder hitting mobs in A3.
Third, a offhand spear is not ideal. It will work, but it's worth it to get the fastest offhand possible. This allows you to take advantage of some skill mechanics of tornado. It uses your MH dmg, but uses the attack speed of which ever hand swung last. So you have a chance to have more ticks per second, which gives you more dmg, LOH and fury generation.
Everything else is fine for A3. Slowly get more crit chance, ias, crit dmg and LL as your damage increases.
I grabbed a bit of life after kill and it's noticable once you start killing things quickly. It's basically a free stat that no one charges for right now. Keep an eye out for it.

Excellent points! Thanks!
*edit* I am rage starved which is a huge issue. I can get by running away like a little girl bang a couple crates then go back at it... Kinda dis-heartening to do as a WW barb... Just seems so wrong...
Bumping this post because I've upgraded some things and am still having issues.
Currently bidding on a low dps(230) mighty weapon with high LOH/CDMG/socket for my offhand which will drop my dps by alot. If i won that what would i be best looking at next?
u shld get at least 40% critical chance.... 10% base + 10% axe + 8-10% glove +5-6% bracer + 4.5-6% helm with a slot + x% from rings and amulets ... as for critical dmg u can get 2Xprefect star emerald 90% dmg for ur weapons (abt 6m each) and u will have 280% critical dmg. Radiant star is abt expensive and does not reflect the amount of gold spend on it at early phase of the ww build.
if u can find critical chance and dmg item on some items and u can afford by all means acquired it. If not 280% is quite reasonable.
And also u need roughly abt 1500 LOH.
