how do i know which weapon is used for whirlwind?
since the skill is able to use any kind of weapon i was wondering how i can set up which one it uses.
is it the weapon equiped with highest base stats, highest dps, highest item lvl?
if im specced into bleed or bludgeoning dmg its a solid question
Either A) it auto selects the most powerful weapon.
or B) If you hit *button (S I think?) you bring up a list of skills you have active. You can select Whirlwind (or whichever skill) and manually select which weapon you use.

you can manually select which weapon to use? i played all betas but that mechanic totally passed by me
Correct. I didn’t play a lot of Barb, but I discovered it durring the server slam. I was unaware of it previously.
well thats helpful to know. thanks
Whirlwinding Bard… that’s something we don’t see around here every day. 
Combination of the Whirlwind Barb, and the Singing Barb. Makes sense to me lol.
a whirlwind bard ?
he would use a guitar and whirlwind whimsically in tune

no worry it was fun to read, it wasn’t to make fun of you or anything 
as for the question itself i sincerely don’t know i apologize.
Like others have said, as a Barbarian you can pre-select which weapon will be used for EVERY skill that has a choice. This enables you to play around with 2H blunt weapons for more opportunity to proc bonuses on that, or with a slashing for maybe a bleed build or something similar. Litrally any skill that CAN use a different weapon can be selected, some of them are locked into 2 handers, for example the double attack in front of you can only be done with Dual weild. I believe Whirlwind can even be done on 2 x 1Handers. Combined with the Barbarian weapon techniques there can be some interesting combos.
