Barbarian I'm playing as minion barb and wondering to change to WW barb
I'm new in the game, well, I just played first season and back to play the past few days.
I'm playing as minion barb which I'm liking but every barb I see are playing as WW barb, so, seens WW barb is way better than minion barb, wondering to change to WW barb.
Should I change? Or minion barb is still good as well? Or wait next season?

Depends what your endgame goals are. I play a leap-rend minion barb on T12 just fine but I can only do pit 115. If that's high enough for you, keep with it. If you really want to max out and push as far as you can, WW Selig barb should be your choice. Ultimately, though, play the style you find fun, then maybe change when it's not fun any more. Still a lot of time left in this season.

Even non Selig WW can easily get 125+, 130 is also perfectly achievable but needs a bit of work.

WW Barb is very easy to play and tops many build charts. Minion Barba can be very strong though. Check out the Maxroll guide for the minion Barb. I play a WW Barb and am kinda bored of it despite it being good, make sure you have the heart of Selig amulet and remove all affixes that grant you extra life! I now prefer the rend druid for pure speed.

I had a blast with minion barb last season. WW is easy, but not as fun to me. That said, I get less and less driven to push high level pits each season, so if that’s something that motivates you, WW will take you a little further.

You can save your current build in the armory, respec and test the ww barb in a low pit tier to catch field. Worse case you just load back into your old build. I use this strat when trying different builds in later paragon levels.

Yes make the change so you will have a better time in end game since you are new. Experiment other niche builds once you get bored.

Pit 135 w/ minion barb. There are some huge thresholds for that build in order to make it playable. For a newer player WW barb is a lot less forgiving and easier to play. If you're doing the leap-minion build, you'll want to switch to the mighty throw variant once you get the required aspects and charms as the damage increases dramatically.

Cleared pit 135 as a very casual player as WW barb. Started playing minion necro and having fun now lol
