More Details
Tasker and Theo allows for your Ancients to do maximum damage while the Cindercoat allows for extra fire damage and resource cost reduction to keep Whirlwinding without the Fury restrictions. Furnace is a big help on damage for elites and perhaps even a Maximus may even work better here in the long run.

IAS can help, especially with a 2H weapon, so keep that in mind. Utility, RCR is important because you will be WW'ing permanently. LoH to stay alive and then Area Damage for those big mobs you'll be doing lots of damage to.

Build Guide

The Fire Whirl was a build I was testing on the PTR while I had some materials to play with. With the recent changes to the Furious Charge set, perhaps some are looking for a bit of a change in play style, and while this may not be topping GRift charts, it can hopefully provide you with some WW entertainment to bring back that old Whirlwind feeling. The gear could undoubtedly be optimized better, so hopefully some of you out there have some better pieces to really make this thing shine.... or burn. Your choice. Let me know what you might do differently for this build and we can put it in action!
