Greetings everyone!
After finally getting an Ultimate Sword Cyclone PDV, I'd like to make a Diablo 2 inspired Barbarian. The main goal is obviously have fun on general content and do Cosmics too. As I have no experience with builds, advices and opinions on this one I made would be appreciated:

Can use Sword Cyclone to rope enemies in and as wider pbAoE, while Blade Tempest is good for cleaving mobs in front of you. I assume your single-target rotation is alternating between Blade Tempest and charged Skewer, which can prob work fine, as long as energy is good. Finishing Blow in Brawler won't work w/ either power, though, since both are AoE. Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con.
- Be safe and have fun, champs - for science!
Oh, I was counting on "Skewer" being a single attack, but I didn't pay attention to it's description, that's the reason of "Finishing Blow".
Does Steadfast works with Single/Dual Blades powers?

Awesome, thank you!
