Hey guys, today I want to explain and showcase the mechanics of the new Wrath of the Wastes Barbarian set – also known as the Whirlwind set – coming in patch 2.2. I discuss the set bonuses, scaling with various damage modifiers, the case for using (or not using) Rend, and do a ~1:30 T6 rift. Enjoy, discuss, and be on the lookout for specific build videos combining this set and the ‘new’ Immortal Kings!
Thanks for watching and Thumbs Up if you like the video! Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions in the comments below and be sure to check out:
As always thanks for the video, the key weapons most people don't have I guess you just go with any 1handers if you don't have them? I also have resource cost reduction where i can I'm at 26.84% using Ancient Gift of Silaria and Fulminator (it has lightning damage effect on it). I also am using Thundergod's Visor belt idk if this setup is any good though. Also since you don't ever use Rend taking Call of the Ancients with the cold/stun rune on it can help with annoying monsters – at least its something to use when Berzerker is off cooldown (again because you'll never use Rend in 99% of situations so its a wasted spot. You could also take another damage booster like Overpower.
So you farm for set of 6 pieces just so that you can enjoy using 1 skill. I think Lineage eternal will be better than that game, but I am waiting for the Lost ark to come out and I will never play D3 again after that haha.
i like the ideals u have going there man iv been thinkin what if u could add in RORG and 2p ik set to the mix for the perma wraith ww with rorg u will keep ur 6p waste bonus plus 3p ik bonus wuts your thoughts thx
So, is this set playable? Better then Raekor? I want to play barb in season 3, but i have not enough time to play PTR and to test some sets and other stuff. Thx for video
i have recently documented my season 2 barbarian, and i would like to ask if you would be able to spend half an hour or so, and leave a note with any comment you may have on, what i came up with.
i understand that you have only so many hours in a day to spread over real life, gaming, and research.
So this is a physical only set? Seems like using anything but would be gimping yourself not just by a little bit, but a massive amount of damage. What a shame.. fun set made sour with a lack of choices :
Once again, great vid. I'm SO looking forward to playing with this set. Using a 2-piece IK bonus, the guardians can provide constant Fury, or do damage…it's going to be a ton of fun. 🙂
kind of an uninspired set though. whirlwind and rend, deal more damage, you take less damage? you're playing the exact same way you could without this set, just not as effectively. zzzzz.
Really enjoy your videos. Very concise and articulate. Which legendary gems do you think will shine with this set? Which off set pieces do you think will compliment this set/build well?
Fuck people who bitch over the 'thumbs up' stuff.. The dude is putting in effort and time so a little reward is not to much to ask for, right? Keep it up bro..
I really hope, HOPE this doesnt get nerfed. The way this is…. is competitive with the EP monk and dh finally. hopefully wiz and wd gets a buff as good. Super exciting.
So was the little rogue/slanderer BIS over like ashbringer or bulkathos? I was thinking definitley little rogue because the attack speed bonus is absolutely bonkers and it has a direct correlation with WW. I have ancient little rogue and slanderer waiting in seasons 😀
Hey man, Im just curious how you have double set ancient weapons… along with a whole 6 piece set and some of it being ancient with crazy good rolls. I play this game often and I have never come close to getting that good of a build except for when the auction house was active.
You think it would be worth dropping SOJ for RORG and using Hexing Pants? Really can't wait for this build. Have ancient Bul Kathos set weps from S2 ready to go. Spin it to win it 4 life
how do you keep your fury up? I have the wastes set and the same build but i run out of fury so fast idk what im doing wrong
how does he make his skills show specific stats?
@Christoffer- it's 30% attack speed buff from Istvan's Paired Blades set. BK set is better though.
What is that passive you get that gives you 100k more dmg whenever you ww?? It's the yellow sword thingy when you ww

I need this set!! All I have is the gloves
How do you keep your fury like that

whats that lightning u have while fighting
Could you make a video about the Dread Iron belt? You know the "groundstomp cause an avalanche" one.
Thx! Thumb up all your videos!

"Not going to have a seizure or anything.." nearly choked on my drink laughing!
dear mikhail,
i have recently documented my season 2 barbarian, and i would like to ask if you would be able to spend half an hour or so, and leave a note with any comment you may have on, what i came up with.
i understand that you have only so many hours in a day to spread over real life, gaming, and research.
thank you.

Excellent video, palpable enthousiasm 🙂

Damn, this is gonna rock in HC even.
Spin to win !!

Holy moly this looks like so much fun! Eagerly waiting for your WW/IK build vid 🙂
So i wonder how good this patch is whit a TF. I know the khatos gona be bis but a good TF is always fun.
I want to play that set now
You make good video Mikhail. 1 thumbs up for u.
Fuck people who bitch over the 'thumbs up' stuff..
The dude is putting in effort and time so a little reward is not to much to ask for, right?
Keep it up bro..
Really solid content lately man! What i like most is your ability to apply nuance, great attribute. Keep it up!
I used to like your videos but i will NEVER like a video if you ask for it in this way
I really hope, HOPE this doesnt get nerfed. The way this is…. is competitive with the EP monk and dh finally. hopefully wiz and wd gets a buff as good. Super exciting.
Last time i played ptr skull grasp didnt even work. or it was so unimportant that i couldnt see the difference.
So was the little rogue/slanderer BIS over like ashbringer or bulkathos? I was thinking definitley little rogue because the attack speed bonus is absolutely bonkers and it has a direct correlation with WW. I have ancient little rogue and slanderer waiting in seasons 😀
Nice now i don't have to do ptr XD Much Appreciated, and you provided as anticipated. Always quality content at the mikhail channel. Thumbs up!

keep it up man. more vids ! more vids!
Can we hope to see any WD build vids?
Are the dust devils only physical? Or are they doing physical because you stacked physical?
Goodbye s2 monkfest and welcome s3 barbfest.
Awesome vid mikhail
for some reason BK set still doesn't sustain whirlwind nonstop
I think the intro "thumbs up" should be turned into an annotation instead
well i guess i'm rolling barb on day 1 s3 lol
cant wait for s3, i wanna see ik+wotw set 😮
stop saying thums up the video…said it at the end please ugh
