Whirlwind
===Whirlwind===
[[Image:Barb-ww1.jpg|thumb|250px|Whirling up some goat jerky.]]
Everyone's favorite spinning, multi-hitting tornado of a skill returns in D3. As it did in D2, Whirlwind lands multiple, bonus damage hits to anything in the barbarian's path, and it can strike multiple monsters per use. It appears to be usable as long as you wish (mana permitting?) but only in a straight line. To change direction the barbarian must stop one WW, and begin another one.
The whirling graphic is much improved as well, with the weapon visible tracking around in a circle, leaving a glowing light as it spins.
 
The hover text for Whirlwind was visible in the WWI gameplay movie, and it's reproduced below. It's not yet clear what "Fury" means in the Barbarian's skill descriptions, but it seems to be some sort of value that skills expend, possibly related to Rage in World of Warcraft, which goes up when a Warrior attacks or uses certain skills, goes down over time rather than up, and is required for most skills in the place of Mana, which Warriors don't have; it's not related to the Barbarian skill of that name in ''Diablo II''.
