Frenzied Whirlwind and Hit effects.

Just to check with someone who knows, how does Frenzied Whirlwind work with something like Hit Fire Area? The same as normal whirlwind attack?

It seems to work as 2 whirlwind attacks that instead of hitting adjacent tiles it hits 2 tiles radius and only charge you mana once. But it kinda defeats the purpose of a WW Sampire since the special move has something like a 12 second cooldown in between uses.

Edit: I did this test on a human char with 120 bushido/ 0 ninja.

Ah see, I was afraid of something like that. Thanks WU. Guess I won't be having an AOE tetsubo of doom made. I'll have to make it a black staff instead.

I have a Titan's Hammer. It's nice for AOE but it's sooooo slooooow. Was thinking of getting a tetsubo and imbuing it (fill in the blank) Slayer, max ML, max DI, max Hit Energy Area, and like 15 SSI. Yeah this adds up, checked on a calculator.

Then I could obliterate the early stages of spawns with whirlwind while still having a good weapon for wailing on single targets.

Black staff is a bit slower though. Might want to lower something else and include more SSI.

I was curious about the Double Tap myself. I noticed that sometimes it would just flat out PWN spawns, but the rest of the time the special was garbage. I still stick with my radiant scimitars. I gotta get around to making a macer.

If you go macing, black staffs are the sh1t. Also make war axes for the slayers, AI FTW!!!

Black staff all the way for WW on a macer.

I use to use war hammers for the WW attack but I had to imbue a high Swing Speed on all my weapons and could not max it out to swing as fast as a black staff.

But now with the ability to make black staffs (love the devleopers added them) the swing speed can be low so you can add more properties at a higer level and hit more DPS.

As well I enhance all my to give more properties. They are wooden so a carp with a good talisman and the carp bench you can enhance most of the time.

I made 8 so far imbued to the limit (450/500) and while enhancing only broke 2.

Just my 2 cents

Yes. When making super slayer weapons I don't use the exceptional weapons I make, that way I can add the 5 properties I want. That was the 450 I was referring too.

The extra damage increase does not make that much difference so I hate to waste the property. I would rather have a leech of some sort.
