I was reading some of those rune topics and it made me think back to the official rune system reveal on Blizzard's site, specifically where it showed off how runes effect Whirlwind (WW) as an example. My brain then connected that with the fact that many of the top tier skills will have cool downs.
My question is this: does anyone know how WW will work in D3? In D2 every time you used it, you clicked where you wanted to WW to. The barb does his dance to where you clicked and that was one usage of WW. If you wanted to go back and forth, multiple clicks, multiple WW usage.
Having a CD on WW makes me wonder if it will still be this "WW to where you click and that's it" usage. If so, I don't see it being that sweet on bosses, more like a horde only move.
I would like to see it work like this: you cast WW and the barb WW's for X seconds, then you can move however you like during those X seconds and the barb will WW along your desired path.
IMO, a time based WW would make it worth the skill choice (since WW is top tier and thus should invoke a CD). If it is just a one time use to where you clicked and then BAM CD, I will probably still test it out, but that may make it seem less attractive.
Of course, how skills will work is all speculation, just something I was thinking about.
