Whirlwind

Alpha-2 Whirlwind Fighter skill demonstrations.

Whirlwind is actually pretty close to what it's always been. It's an AoE channeled attack that ramps up in speed the longer you hold it. There's also a spec option on the right, if you want to pick that, that gives a final upward swing at the end, that has some additional bonuses to it. – Tradd Thompson
