Polearm whirlwind vs 1h sword whirlwind

[Furtin]

Currently at 50 skill, you can buy the whirlwind skill, which is an AOE attack hitting everything in a 360 degree arc near you.

For polearms, you can use this skill while moving, jumping, sprinting, etc. Once you use the skill, you can continue to move.

For 1h swords, you cannot use this skill while moving (you get an error message "You must stand still."), also once you use the skill, you still cannot move while the animation is playing.

Basically, whirlwind is useless for 1h sword. Either fix polearms (and make this skill useless altogether) or fix 1h swords and bring it inline with the current polearm variant.

Anyone have any whirlwind info concerning 2h Swords?

How is the damage?

[Bearon]

well in my eyes that obviously a bug should be the same with whatever weapon ur using.

[Sunspots]

agree. also, how's the damage and stam cost?

[valerion]

u can move with both u just have to stand still for a second b4 you click it.

Seems like it got answered. Anyone test it to kill this thread, or vid?

[NightsSentinel]

In my experience (and this is Greatswords so maybe it offers info for multiple questions) I can be running, jumping, or standing. It does not allow me to perform the skill while crouching or swimming. Hope this helps a bit.

Sorry but you are wrong. You cannot move throughout the entire animation.

[Furtin]

agree. also, how's the damage and stam cost?

Damage is about 10% less than a regular hit and stam cost is similar to other moves.

[AODSocrates]

Sorry but you are wrong. You cannot move throughout the entire animation.

Furtin is correct. :(

[Arcador]

Seems more like a bug rather than feature.

There are also several other animation glitches with some weapon attacks.

[valerion]

Sorry but you are wrong. You cannot move throughout the entire animation.

so once u click it u cant move anymore? can move with mace whirlwind

[Furtin]

Looks like you just figured out the purpose of this thread, eh?

[Vexrak]

This is seriously upsetting.... With 2 handed sword WW I can use it whenever i want however I want without having to stop even for a second and thats the ONLY thing that makes this skill one of the VERY few worth a damn.

If they change it so that i have to stand still to whirlwind with my 2 handed sword I will be beyond disappointed.

Whirlwind attacks are unparryable/unblockable.

[Furtin]

Woops necromancy my bad

[Uofriek82]

I dont know how this rumor is floating around, I have tested it several times and successfully parried[and blocked as well] each time.

Unless this is the case ^^

It's not a rumor, it's in the description of WW iirc.

[Viluin]

Well it's not true.

[Uzik]

This is not true.

You can block WW, it is just harder to block because you can glide while it is active, getting behind people etc.

[Drekor]

I dont know how this rumor is floating around, I have tested it several times and successfully parried[and blocked as well] each time.

You can run right past them and hit them just as you run by (you don't have to face them). This makes it nearly impossible to block. It's a player skill thing not an inherent thing based on the ability.

[MrShine]

I haven't had any problems blocking whirlwind with my shield. The only thing you have to remember is the damage is slightly delayed, so you need to block after the animation.

[Dorlas]

you cant block whirlwind...
and 1h mace isnt buged like 1h sword, just fyi...

[Warhawk]

new patch but 1h sword whirlwind is still the only gimped version of that skill. fix this!

Did you send in a report of this?

[morde]

This shit is still broke? I don't want to drop the 1k and test it myself.

[greeneggsnoham]

Yes. 1 Handed swords still require that you stand still to use whirlwind attack.

:(

[morde]

Well, guess I'll get my 2h axe up to 50 and buy Whirlwind for it then.

Thanks

Don't advertise for your clan on this forum:)


Whirlwind is the only melee skill worth anything. Those straight thrusts are just too hard to hit.
