is there something about this skill i dont know?
i never see anyone using this skill ever, is it underpowered? does it suck?
noone likes it =/
then turn around and every other wizard is using either disintegrate or orb like 95% of the time
L2 not google your build and come up with your own =P
huh? i didnt google anyones build, and if i did its only to do the opposite,
i want to be the only barbarian not using WW or in this case the only wizard not using desint/orb
they're good with large mobs, but elites being the main enemies in the game, the unpredictable nature of the skill makes it useless... so most wizards (me included) choose a less powered but more controllable skill, pretty much the same idea as with death blossom, i'd love to use that 670% damage, but being unable to aim the projectile makes the skill pretty much useless :/

Many wizards use neither disintegrate nor arcane orbs. Not terribly uncommon.

Desintegrate is great for leveling. Terrible for Inferno.
I havent seen Whirlwind being used outside of leveling either.

There's a build where, with enough crit, you can be in WotB all the time whilst Whirlwinding
Wicked Wind works incredibly well with Critical Mass, its what I use to tank act 3 with under 20k hp, I almost think it should be nerfed, which would be weird since its one of the least used skills in the game.
note that I still have 800 resist/8000 armour, just not much health since I can rely on Diamond Skin,
what makes it bad is the terrible pathing the twisters have combined with the high AP cost, i'd love to use it but currently it's a waste, and the tornado rune still has that terrible pathing, only better radius
Difficult to use (compared to orb and laser) and not noticably more damage than either of the 2. Kinda like meteor (which is only usefull due to procs on the ticks)
I don't think you guys have tried the melee build yet.
You can pretty much chain cast diamond skin, frost nova and explosive blasts with >30% crit.
Actually i did... and i didnt like it..
Firstoff, the damage is way to low (without familiar + magic weapon)...you dont kill effectivly enouth.
Second...most Mobs like to move around, which makes dealing damage very painful.
and Third...you are slamming buttons like crazy with this build...
basicly, you can bind 1-4 + LM + RM on one Key, and spam it... its annoying.
I rather stay with my Archon / Orb / Hydra build... its boring, but its very powerful.

Either way, with sufficient gear you can make any builds work.
what about with the rune that makes 2 hit and creates a super twister? still worthless?

And may the odds be ever in your favour.
