Whirlwind and animated dead

[Jynxx]

Started noticing down in Doom that animated dead helping out the LL or Devourer you're fighting are not affected by whirlwind attacks. Is there a reason for it or is this a bug of some sort?

WW hits revs with no issue

I didn't say revenants. I said animated dead. Thanks for trying.


Anyone (who knows the difference) else seeing this?

WW works on revs. (as it should on animated dead)

Yes, we agree with the OP. It appears to be a bug with whirlwind.

Selective deletionism abounds it seems.

I don't think it's WW, unless someone can remember a time that it did work. The animate dead summons have always been a bit strange with thier flagging/rights. Since they aren't a controllable summon, it's possible that WW doesn't regard them as hostile.

Momentum Strike doesn't work on them either, so I changed target to the Animated Dead (not summoned Rev) and use MS to get a harder hit on the LL or Dev and cast Dispel Evil to get rid of the Rev

You're most likely right. This correlates with why EVs and RCs don't target them.
