Diablo 4 Barbarian BuildTOP Damage Ramaladni 1H Whirlwind

The core mechanic of Whirlwind is called Snapshotting. This is a little known part of how the build works and is the reason why many players struggle with damage.

Snapshotting means that once you start channeling Whirlwind the game takes a "snapshot" of all of the current multipliers and buffs applied to Whirlwind and keeps them active until you stop channeling Whirlwind.

This is a very powerful interaction because it can extend the natural time limitations of buffs.

To use this to its maximum potential you need to make sure that your Fury is full and overcapped for the Edgemaster's Aspect as well as Limitless Rage.

To make sure your Fury is full you need to use your shouts and Lunging Strike. You can also cast Whirlwind for taking advantage of the Wrath glyph which grants Fury on Critical strikes however you must make sure the fury gain is higher than the cost of whirlwind.

All of the Damage from Whirlwind comes during the Vulnerable window from the Exploit glyph. This is for the first 3 seconds of hitting a target. If you cannot kill the enemy in those 3 seconds you need to move on to the next pack and return after the 20+ second limit before exploit can apply vulnerable again.

When searching for this unique it is very important to find one with a .3 roll. The damage difference between .1 and .3 may sound small but its massive! Ramaladni gains its incredible power from the scaling with your total fury. By stacking fury you can reach up to 214 fury from gear and the paragon board. With 214 fury and a .3 roll on Ramaladni you are gaining 64.2% Multiplicative Damage which is the highest possible mulitplier any build can gain on a 1 handed weapon by over double! Even with a .2 Roll on your Ramaladni you will be gaining 42.8% Multiplicative Damage which is still above the next best aspect!
