I feel totally screwed.  After playing a WW Barb in Single Player where they
rock, I decided to play one on US East.  I put skill points in very little
else except sword mastery and the WW pre-reqs. (I know a lance barb is
better for WW, but I like sword and shield).  Finally, in Act I, NM, I
reached level 30.  I got WW.  I now am at level 33 with 3 +1 to barb skill
items.  My WW is now at level 7.

The problem is that due to lag, I WW at a pack of critters and hit nothing.
This is NOT due to a  low Attack Rating.  My attack rating yields a chance
to hit monsters of my level of 92%.  Yet when I WW through a pack of 10
critters, I frequently get 0 or 1 hit.  Despite having a total of 10% mana
steal, I can't even keep my mana ball filled by WW'ing through packs.  I
believe the problem is that the critters are not really where I see them due
to lag.  I am effectively WW'ing through nothing.

Do you have any advice on how to solve this?  Should I switch to Bash for a
couple of hits until I am connecting and then WW through the surrounding
pack?  Should I stick to single player?  Any advice would be appreciated.
