If you

Commento di MikeB

My all time favourite warrior skill.

Commento di 70583

from patch 2.3 this abillity will get improved for fury warrior dps, since it will strike all targets with BOTH weapons(or just Main hand if you use 2h) which is awesome for fury dps.

what blizz is doing in 2.3 is making Arms a pure pvp spec, and fury the pve spec

Worth nothing that Whirlwind has a range of 8 yards, 3 more than most of a Warrior's other abilities. Use it when you're trying to chase down a runner who's just outside of 5 yards, or a mage who's standing in our dead zone (5 to 8 yards) when you're frozen.

I wonder, if you're trying to level weapon skill and one auto-attack swing = one swing towards the next weapon skill level, does 1 whirlwind = 4 swings towards the next level? (assuming there are 4 enemies to hit)

Commento di 11715

Is the change in WW+ Sweeping strikes confirmed? No more 4 hits in 2 cretures?

Thanks.

edit: Don't you love people's mania to diminish the rating of anyone who actually ASKS something on this site?

Asking something is not misinformation kids.

:P

Well, I think my untimely Whirlwind during FLAME WREATH wiped my group.

Had good 'no moving' discipline, whirlwind, DEAD. Confirm?

Commento di MasterOfDisguise

When Patch 2.4 was released, Whirlwind had a different sound associated with it. This was a mistake and was fixed in Patch 2.4.2, as Brighid pointed out.

Commento di 40551

According to the PTR notes for 2.4.2, this was a mistake that will be fixed:

Whirlwind now has the correct sound associated with it.

Kind of sad, really, I liked the new sound.

Commento di Krohide

does the miss chance occur on this ability like it would while dual wielding to cause both weapons to damage the enemy or is it like heroic strike and it only misses about 5-8% or something like that instead of 24-28% while dualwielding white damage?

sorry for being verbose.

Commento di chillyman

So, with the additions to the new update (such as Bladestorm for instance) does this attack still make damage in a 360 degree radius?

Sorry for noobish question but I had to ask :)

Commento di 173812

I like sounding like a felreaver slash train-passing-by slash wc3-shredder-deathsound.

All go to forums and help us get back Train-passing slash shredder sound. Please.

Commento di 80916

Whirlwind has never been better now. With higher top-end damage from both weapons with Titan's Grip, go ahead and go crazy. Death Wish, trinket, Recklessness, have some enrages procced, and let fly. All the big crits are an absolutely marvelous sight.

These crits make it a no-brainer for leveling.

Commento di Skreeran

Did they change the animation on this? I just picked it up, but I was expecting it to look like Herod's spinning attack, rather than just a single spin. :(

Ah, well, I'm going Arms anyway, I'll get Bladestorm in 24 levels...

Commento di 427335

You spin ya axe right round right round when you go down when you go downtown.. lol

Commento di 493184

ok i got a question for anyone that loves calculating damage. I'm trying to make a comparison between whirlwind as fury vs bladestorm as arms. now im aware that bladestorm performs 7 whilwinds over 6 seconds so the 2 obviously have allot in common and bladestorm has some obvious advantages that im fully aware of...

so my question is this... applying all that the fury tree has to offer (improved whirlwind, titan's grip, ect.) a single whirlwind as fury is far better then 1 on arms. I'd like to know (preferably in percentage) just how much better?

edit: also i know titans grib decreases weapon damage by 10% having 2 weapons equiped decreases offhand damage by 50% and dual wield specialization increases offhand by 25%
this is kind of included in my previous question but which of these are calculated into the weapon damage used to determine whirlwind damage?

Commento di 105828

I have a level 40 warrior and can not learn Whirlwind can anyone tell me why? I was suppose to have been able to learn it at level 36 Im confused

Commento di 237003

does anyone else find it really lame that it´s an aoe attack but is mostly used in single target situations like in bg´s etc. most other aoe spells and attacks either dont do enough damage to be viable on single targets or are even designed so they can never be used for single target. for ex. seed of corruption, mind sear etc. why mind flay or cast a shadowbolt if you can do the same damage with the aoe´s versions on a single target and get additional aoe damage. in my opinion the true damage potential of ww should only be achieved when it is used on 4 targets and there should be a reduction for less than 4 making the least damage when only hitting 1 target. there´s a similar principle in heavy weight boxing, when a boxer takes a big swing and misses he/she expends more energy than if it landed. so in relation to ww, swinging your weapon/s in the air wildly and not hitting anything would make the attack weaker.

Commento di 610886

Hell i love this ability, it helped me get Save The Day
Amazingly useful

Commento di 629499

Come on Blizzard. We have 2 months till cataclysm. Just make this available in ALL stances D'=

Commento di 116066

Interestingly, now buffed to 75%, however, Meat Cleaver will only increase it's damage output to 97%... effectively continuing to keep it out of the single target rotation

Commento di 681419

In patch 4.1!
"Whirlwind now has its cooldown reduced by 6 seconds when it deals damage to 4 or more targets. The Whirlwind effect caused by Bladestorm remains unchanged."
It's a nice change, since Cleave was nerfed.

Commento di Thottbot

Got rage left over from a previous fight in Arathi Basin? Look around to see if an enemy GY is near, if they happen to spawn, intercept any one of them.

Recklessness>Sweeping strikes>Whirlwind>Cleave

Execute the casters low on health while keeping sweeping strikes up. GG.

Even when you just kill 5 or so and get slaughtered by the rest its bloody hilarious to see the dps and the damage

Commento di Thottbot

On the new patch the effect last even if you change stances. Whirl wind is very nice in instances

Commento di Thottbot

warrior ballet skill

Commento di Thottbot

does he just whirl around as the name suggest?/ or just do a single 360 attack ( some sort of cleaving )...if he does starting spinning..for how long?

peace !

Commento di Thottbot

I just have a question, how many hits do you get, does the weapon speed do any difference?

Commento di Thottbot

He keeps spinning but you only see the first rotation or so then people around you see you spinning...

Commento di Thottbot

If you jump off something and then press whirlwind not only do you keep spinning but you levitate in the air and don't take damage for falling!

Commento di Thottbot

Sorry for doubleposting but:
Don't you think it would be really cool when dualwielding IF it actually dealt damage from both weapons to each enemy?

Commento di Thottbot

At lvl 59 I use 2 blazing rapiers (30 something thru 70 something dmg 27.1 dps)Note: these weapons do only around 100 damage and yet when i use WW with them i hit for around 200-300 non crit so im guessing it either spins both weapons or doubles the power of one.

Commento di Thottbot

im a arms speced warrior, i use sweeping strikes
change to berserker than whirlwind, gets me about 5 crits, hits 4 people 3 times each lol
its amazing, so if u want insane dps use this and sweepign strikes

Commento di Thottbot

sweepingstrikes + cleave. will atack 2 enemys with 2 hits on em each.. so this atack is a little waste if its on 2 mobs.. however whirlwind and ravager would be nice and some sweepingstrikes and cleave. nice dps :D

Commento di Thottbot

as said.. heroic strike is a waste since it really doesnt take 15 rage.. it takes like 30 rage since u lose the rage hit.. heroic strike doesnt add as much dmg as the whirlwind does with a hit. also if u are fury speced its a chance for a crit extra good to keep the flurry up. this ability is nice for keeping aggro too if u are secondary/dps tank winwin ability :)

Note: He was lvl 60 at the time
So it is best used with 2H weapons, and he was also Arms/Fury
So i would have to disagree about using DW with it i would much rather see Arms warriors using this though being in berserk stance only is a pain

I use this constantly when lvling seeing im an arms warrior, and i must say the instant attack is very handy because the rage build up comes easy, WW with MS in berserk stance is a really nice combo instead of having to wait on heroic strike

Commento di Thottbot

I've tried jumping of a high ledge then used whirlwind... It made me spin continuously till I landed. Do you think an enemy near me falling also will get hit more than once?

Commento di Thottbot

really nice video :) fun seing how all run from him when he gets healed.. its really true best way is to stay away from warriors... else ur a dead cow xD

Commento di Thottbot

Why go on with all these pointless calucations of weapon speed, damage calucations? There's no trick to this spell. All it does is instantly hits four nearby enemy targets for your normal weapon damage..

Commento di Thottbot

i use whirlwind with whirlwind axe :) crits 500-550 i think ^^

Commento di Thottbot

Should try this spell while jumping off the elevators in shatt city, its really cool

Commento di Thottbot

Patch 2.3 info

Whirlwind: This ability now strikes with both weapons when a Warrior is dual-wielding :>

Commento di Thottbot

This move defines burst damage.

Commento di Thottbot

i have a lvl 61 warrior, and after patch i went prot, i level dual wielding and have 1k AP in my Solo gear, went up to a mob, stacked 5 sunders, Trinketed up, Reclkessness, Whirlwind... dear god! a 1.1k crit
this WAS with Reckless and trinket, but without Trinket i do 600-700 crits, but its still really nice, gives prot warriors a leveling ability

Commento di Thottbot

yes shamans totem applies to this skill. also does swordspec.. when u use this on 4 mobs/ players near each other sometimes ive gotten 2 extra sword procs.. 6 strikes and 35% crit = many crits :) sword procs also gives extra rage.. i dont know if the windfury hits does. but that would be awesome

Commento di Allakhazam

Is this a reward from the Cyclonian quests?

Commento di Allakhazam

No, you get this skill from the trainer @ lvl 36.

Commento di Allakhazam

No, you get the axe(Whirlwind Axe Whirlwind Axe from the cyclonian quests.

Commento di Amitur

I've been noticing that when using whirlwind, it uses all my rage over 25. The damage appears to be the same too. Anyone else seeing this?
