Question about spin to win build

[King]

I have trouble filling out my skill bar. Ofcourse we are adding whirlwind, leap for closing distance and after that I have no clue.

I was thinking of adding another skill that deals good single target dmg for bosses, Im not sure my whirlwind will be enough. so that would be my 3rd guess... I have room for one more but Im really clueless as you can see. Any advice here?

Just focusing on whirlwind, some support runes and leap is enough to get you through the campaign. Increasing weapon range is important for making it work well, as is using weapons with higher base weapon range. You can add a spell on channel to spice things up if you want but it's not required. A pure physical whirlwind build is strong. Leap is required to dodge mechanics.

Focusing on less skills is actually good to start with because once you get into act 5 you aren't going to be able to upgrade them all without some heavy farming.. or by paying for xp for them. You may already be that far in and know that, I dunno. Filling your bars and splitting the xp between everything whilst levelling just isn't going to work if you want to avoid grinding during the campaign.

There is a shout skill that I have (I forget the name) that debuffs enimies. But as Darkrayne said you will be hard pressed to keep everything fully upgraded. I have one main attack skill and 3 support gems linked to it and after they got to level 9 or 10 it is becoming very hard to keep just those at their max.

I saw people using whirlwind with poison projectiles

I use a mixture of long range spells (meteor) and close up skills such as whirlwind. Also, shield bash is op.

Thanks for the answers. Alright... so I will need to stick to one skill (Whirl) atleast for now, upgrading wise. Im still curious what skills to equip in my 2 remaining skills slots?

Make sure to add a rune that gives additional damage such as fire/cold etc to do more damage.

Use illusion axe with it if you're not already. Turn it off for trash though to save on mana pots.
