No argument there, but if you're new to UW it's bloody frustrating to blow 1K only to get owned by an Aatxe patrol when you think you're in a safe spot.
I'm sure after you've done 20+ runs only one is needed, until then i'll Robby Rocketpants my way outta there. Otherwise it quickly degrades into a gold sink and no doubt many people give up if they can't make it to the Smites.
Once there it's a piece of cake taking them down and it just comes down to learning the Coldfire patrols and how to handle the Nightmare popups.

Seems like the W/Rit build works a lot faster... plus no enchants with the W/Rit build

How can I get Whirlwind Attack? It isn't at any of the Hero Skills people I have looked at.. Anythin I am missing?

It's a Sunspear title track skill. Just go to Kamadan and speak with the Hero Skills trainer.
Arnack
He doesn't offer Whirlwind attack though.. he offers some different skills.

You can get the Sunspear titles from Pikin in Kamadan. Just select "show me Sunspear Skills".

Well, I shall give you some reasons why I like scythe w/d more than w/rt;
-W/rt is uber boring and you can't really make a run go faster or slower, other than luring big groups. It's for dumb mindless farmers imo, there is totally NO skill involved.
- W/D is challeging, can be faster if you get the hang of it. If you have any skill W/D is your call.
- W/D is like the w/rt not really depending on enchants, if you face NM's (especially at the graspings), than 'there's nothing to fear!'. If you face them at the smites, which is rare, you can run away. (and most of the time you encounter them without any smites anyway)
-Hitting 100-120 on a smite is just fun
And yes, you need a zealous scythe of enchanting to maximize dmg output, and make rending aura last long enough.

Actually, in this case the build is safe. Rend Enchantments is only a dangerous spell when you have to depend on the enchantment(s) in question to keep you alive, such as in the case of the monk tank.
Rending Aura and Mystic Regen are perfectly safe. Mystic has a fast cast time if you ever have to worry about being Rended fighting the Grasps and Rending Aura only really has use against the Smites, and in that area there are few times that you will both aggro smites and pop a Dying Nightmare.

I tryed Koning Scythe War/D build in UW and it works very well. I remembered now I died from day dreaming when I got the Grasps but forgot Def Pain which killed me that what happen now. Anyway Koning War/D build is badass.

Would I be able to kill aataxe's with this build? If not, which way do I run to get around them to the smites?

Highly doubtful that you can, almost all of the Warrior builds can not kill Aaxtes. To get to the smites you will want to run to the right. Or instead of asking us here you can check on GWwiki.
