    No Fury build up to begin with. If you want to go hammer, better go with some fury-builder as opener. I would recommend Furious Charge with Stamina, perfect 1st skill to use. Just Charge into pack, use rage and hammer it to the end of Fury.
    Also if u go 2h, change rune on hammer for the Thunderstrike. With charge and hammer spam creeps wont even move to attack you.
    You drasticly lack hp regen here, go revenge but with Vengeance is Mine. This will help u ALOT many times.
    To do ALOT and fast damage, change USELESS inspiration for godlike Brawler.

    im lvl 44, near 45. When i hit it i will tell u how much dmg i can do with brawler. Without it, it's about 6k hits with hammer (crits) 4k opens with Charge and about 5-6 with revenge. Double the amount on wrath. 25% crit chance is enough. But i prefer WW with Wind Shear. Get some life steal on weapon and just WW till the end of times.

    Realy, that build is fine. Fine untill they hit you. Make those changes and just dont let them attack you ;)

    Second thought, you could open with Charge, change Battle Rage for STOMP with wrenching, so Charge, hammer hammer, stomp, hammer. Should be like this. Doubt any1 can survive this with good 130dps 2h on nightmare

    EDIT: with brawler i do about 900 to 1,3k WW crits, 5-7k revenge crits. Doubles on Wraith. 1,7k dps without brawler

    Here is the finished level 60 of the build. The invigorate from war cry and the blood thirst should be more than enough for healing ultimately. I can see why the Revenge swap would increase healing, but it is a DPS loss for sure. The comment about missing a Fury generator - I don't think I really see your point there. Frenzy is a great generator if you're using 1H weapons. I can see it being slower with 2H weapons for sure though. It might even suck, but I go from what friends have said. Brawler I 100% agree with you there, I just don't have access to it yet st the time of posting. Same with Maniac and such.

    After watching Inferno mode done by Method I can say without a doubt WW is going to have to go out the window. I am almost certain we will all be tanking in Inferno mode. I can see it now after watching. This being said, this build might not last for Inferno mode at all. Method killed Act 2 with a tanking build for the Barb in the group. It's pretty much just like an MMO on that mode. Everyone MUST play a role.

    This is my current build for Nightmare, as taken from another build site. This is a work of art. Whirlwind I personally find lackluster and should be shelved in favor of single target DPS after normal mode is complete. This build can optionally flop out Inspiring Presence for Blood Thirst as a passive if you need to. You probably should as you get to higher difficulties or mid-NM. Maniac is to be taken at the level it's available, and same with Insanity on WoTB.

    Honestly, this build has worked so well for me I've got other people using and loving it. It does lack mobility but you don't need that as Hammer is your CC for big pulls. WoTB demolishes packs when you have a full Fury gauge and Hammer. Ideally you want to use Hammers or Axes with this build. Keep both shouts up 100% of the time. Dual Wield I'm finding works well, but I've heard a few friends liking it with a 2H axe or mace.

    The basic premise is that you crit so much, and are self-buffed so hard you obliterate anything in your path. It has tight control, and doesn't need a shield to stay alive. It has not been Inferno tested, but who knows it might fly with a shield there just fine. It has all the single target DPS needed for hard bosses too.

    Note: A gentleman named TheHaven invented this build, and it is called Maniac Frenzy. I take 0 credit, and only hope to see it proliferate.
