Classic Barb idea
#1
Hi,

I've been playing a lot of Classic recently and decided, what the heck, I wanted to try and make a Barb.

I believe that in Classic, weapon speed has no effect on Whirlwind. So you can use any weapon at all and whirl with equal effectiveness (in terms of hits).

Subsequently, I see a lot of Barbs whirling with Bonesnap, or rare Martel's. But I had an idea of my own.

How about Cleglaw's partial set?

I was thinking 2x Cleglaw's sword + Cleglaw's gloves. The partial set bonus of this is +max/clvl to Cleglaw's swords, and +ar/clvl from Cleglaw's gloves. The swords themselves come with 50% Deadly Strike. At high levels the swords can break 100 max damage, which, when combined with Deadly Strike, brings them up to Bonesnap-levels of damage.

Now, without the shield, the very best bonus of Cleglaw's is lost: 35% Crushing Blow. However, I believe this can be compensated somewhat through the use of Goblin Toe boots. I am also considering a Swordback Hold for Open Wounds (it's that or Boneflesh).

The question I have is this: am I better off going with dual swords? The bonus, in my mind, would be the freedom to use a shield or a second Cleglaw's (or something else). Or should I just use a big two-hander?
