Double swing baba Vs WW baba?

i'm making a new bar now
but coundnt decide wether go Ds or Ww, and was unsure about the skill build
i thought if Ds:
bash, Ds, mastery, Bo, shout and some one point wonder(iron skin,resist...)
and if Ww:
ww, mastery, Bo, shout, (this is the one i dont know what to put)then some one point wonders

well, that's all. plz help me decide between thos 2, and tell me what that skill should be if i go Ww

I would Go For WW im having tons of fun with mine ^^

and for skill placement and such look in the guides for Gmoura´s WW guide
plenty of information but then again ive never made a DS barb

Good Luck

Definitely stay away from PvP if you decide to make a double swing barb, they're terrible.

a ww bar is good too
but then mana becomes a prob 25 per cast for a baba is just huge!!
thanks for repling tho

Are we talking pvp or pvm? Pvm, all you need is some mana leech somewhere, 25 per cast is nothing as your mana will be full after every whirl (if you hit). Pvp can be a burden as mana leech is useless, but you can always drink mana potions.

Double Swing is actually used for a proper build??? I made one recently in Sp just for fun, but are they viable in hell?

well Ds is actually not bad, it's verymuch like zeal, so many people use that as a build
i have a friend that can kill all hell ancients with a Ds baba in less than 2 min
it's quik since he was rushing his other char on a seperate comp and tried to avoid being killed at the same time

well i was talking mainly pvm and some pvp just for fun
mana leech? sounds like a great idea since the mana pool of a baba is just so ..

I am working my first character right now, he is lvl 48 baba, and he is a combo of ds and WW. I have the nightsmoke belt on right now in nightmare, and mana is not a problem that much, cause you get hit so often. 50% damage goes to mana, i think? I use the ds on the monsters that have manaburn or a lot of lightning cause I am still getting ripped up by those monsters. I am trying to work on my res, I wear the venom ward armor, so my poison res is maxed, lightning is around 60-70, and cold and fire are around 20% so when those get higher I think I will have more success. So bottom line, I looked at alot of build guides, and I decided to go with a little of both.

Depends what do you wanna do with your baba, for mfing bosses it's better to have ds and for travi (mana burn) it's better to have ds for everything else it's ww.

The advantage of ds is that you are mana burn proof.
