Maybe someone could here explain to me why everyone seems to be all about the 2Hs now. I found a pretty nice 2H. The tooltip said it should give me more damage than my MH/OH, but in practice it's just worse. Much worse. I generate fury faster with two weapons, I can spend it faster, - not only because I generate more per time, but the animation of Seismic Slam executes in like half the time - and I only lose a little bit of damage per attack, but I get to attack so much more often.
Don't get me wrong. I want to like using a two-handed weapon. I really, really do. My Barb is named Tryndamere, for Pony's sake! Tryndamere don't use no pansy one-handed weapons! But they're just so clunky and slow in this game. =-(
I made this build to get the Avalanche achievement, and I absolutely loved it. Most of the Cold runes are to take advantage of the +19% cold damage.
Basically, use WW to group up and maneuver through mobs, Avalanche big things, dump fury with SS (to cooldown Avalanche more quickly), Revenge for healing, Furious Charge for more mobility (and because I want to someday get Raekor's 4-piece and charge all the things, all the times!). Frenzy is really only there for relatively quick fury gain and for the DPS buff. I actually started using it when I had a two-hander because they take soooo long to swing.
I know this is a suboptimal build, and I'm not really looking for build advice (fun trumps efficacy for me), but how to make the most of the build I have chosen, and what I need to be looking to do with my gear, for example, should I be on the lookout for a beefy two-hander, or is DW still the way to go.
