Survivability, Hardcore: I wouldn’t suggest the build for hardcore, but it can have decent survivability. Using nightmare act2 merc with a Pride or Doom Runeword will provide you and the party with Might and Concentration or Holy freeze auras. Playing in a party: A WW Sin will not bring great boosts to parties, but they can still benefit from your Merc’s Auras. As you deal damage from multiple sources, killing any immune monster should not be a problem. Make sure you have decent survivability, a Call to Arms can help you immensely. Playing solo: The build is a great fit for soloing the game.

Not one of the most efficient builds for Magic Find.

Uber Diablo and Uber Tristram are problematic.

Not fit for a ladder start, not a cheap build.

Not a good fit for Hardcore as it’s survivability is not amongst the best.

Solo Baal or Chaos runs are doable within 4-5 minutes in top-tier gear.

Super fun and relaxing to play with for players who enjoy melee builds.

Can quickly solo the whole game in top tier items.

Decent run speed and can get past any obstacles.

Awesome run speed and mobility, can get past any obstacles.

Aim for high Increased Attack Speed for more frequent attack with Whirlwind.

A solo Chaos or Baal run in high-end gear will take you around 4-5 minutes. The build is not considered to be one of the best MFing ones, but with an inventory stacked with 7%MF Small Charms and a Gheed’s Fortune it will perform fairly well. In High-end gear, the solo clearspeed is very fast, and you have plenty of room for customizing your character and use a variety of skills and gear according to your goals. If you are wealthy enough, an Enigma can be used for teleportation. With Whirlwind, you will be able to move through any obstacle, and movement can be super quick by utilizing Burst of Speed. If you want a stress-free hardcore experience, this one is probably not your best choice. Uber Diablo and Uber Tristam will be problematic, as the build’s survivability is not as good as some other melee build’s. Soloing the game will not be a problem, but the 8player damage output is not that immense, and the build is not amongst the best boss killers. Unlike WW barbs, you are able to deal a variety of damages ranging from Physical to Crushing Blows, Open Wounds and Poison.

Due to this, you won’t be able to play the build right from a ladder start. To gain access to Whirlwind, you will need to wear a Chaos Claw, so even the base build will cost you an Ohm rune. Their playstyle is very similar to WW Barbarians, but they are much more versatile. Introduction : The WW Assa is a super fun build if you enjoy melee characters. This build guide is made for Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction’s Expansion ( LOD) for the 1.14d patch and for Diablo 2 resurrected.
