Been gone for a few months, and looking for some suggestions! Currently running a WW barb, with MP8-10 gear. Using an old oasis profile, and doing torment I, seems to be handling it alright. My question is, are WW barbs still capable ? What are some good profiles for XP ? and I guess any tips or pointers people might have. Not 100% on what kind of gear I should be looking for or where I should be placing my paragon points, so really anything people might have to give as advice will probably be helpful! Thanks in advance.
 
I don't really play a barb but since no one else has responded yet I'll give whatever assistance I can.

Lots of class skills have been completely reworked, so although I don't really have any barb specific advice I can offer, I would just go ahead and look through all the moves and runes again and find a new build that works for you.

For XP farming, Crypt of the Ancients is the standard now. The new difficulty system gives a huge XP bonus on high levels, and it's completely possible to break a billion XP an hour doing CotA runs.

Paragon points are mostly about preference. In core, I like to max out movement speed (minus whatever I already have from gear) and then pump my primary stat. If you find a new piece of gear that changes your base movement speed, just respec your core points, since there's no cost. Offense and defense are just about what gives you the biggest boost, so experiment, check your DPS and then respec. Adventure has a new mod called Area Damage, which is a 20% chance on each hit to deal X% damage to all nearby enemies. That and life on hit are probably the most useful in that category.

I love this build, Free Charges, Rend does awesome dmg, Whirlwind to finish off mobs, and I always have my 3 barb pets with me (4 piece set bonus)
I'm using Whirlwind with that Rune because I have +30% Physical dmg

Paragons: Moviment speed til you get 25% then STR // All Res then Life% // Crit Chance then Crit Dmg // AOE Dmg then Resource Reduction.

I die a lot but I'm getting 1.2-1.3b xp/hr so idc lol.

I've tried a bunch of different builds, gear, settings and this is the best setup (Highest XP/HR) for me. Hope this info helps you too.
