Question about Whirlwind

[Omadas]

out of curiosity id like to know if the secondary weapon in a two weapon build actually hits during a whirlwind..? cause it seems to me thats it doesnt.. or should it?


thanks for any info..

Whirlwind works like Cleave and Great Cleave. You get 1 attack on the mobs in the appropriate degree arc with the weapon you have in your primary hand only. Your off-hand weapon won't register an attack.

I've heard people say that you get two attacks when TWFing. I've also heard people say you only get one when TWFing. Honestly, I'm confused too. Guess the best bet is to just to test it yourself.

You should only be getting one attack on the Whirlwind. It's still worth it if you can handle the agro with your TWF character, though.

I can confirm *(from personal experience) that whirlwind and TWF do not 'stack'.

BTW: If it did, it would be too broken

well .. i guess my next question is .. should it.. cause i mean if both arms are outstretched to counterbalance then the secondary weapon should be right in the face of whatever your hittin.. sure they may step back from your assault but not always.. low percentage like two handed swings..? maybe.. who knows..


even with a shield it should get a bash attack.. ?!?

When you use the full attack action, you can give up your regular attacks and instead make one melee attack at your full base attack bonus against each opponent within reach.

When you use the Whirlwind Attack feat, you also forfeit any bonus or extra attacks granted by other feats, spells, or abilities.

There's your answer. Only one attack. They should fix the animation though, as it shows the character with both weapons outstretched
