Whirlwind is a Barbarian only combat ability which allows them to hit multiple targets at melee or pole depending on the weapon being used. In addition, whirlwind now has the ability to with dual weapons, making one attack with each weapon on everything within range.

There is a high defensive penalty associated with using this maneuver so be careful! Many Barbarians feel that this move is intended to be a finishing move primarily, however when combined with our immobilizing roar Wail of the Banshee, or the stunning roar Lash of Command it can be a deadly mid-sequence attack.

There is also another use for whirlwind, to remove oneself or others from webbing, whether it is a Ranger's web or a Moon Mage's shadow web.

Requirements:
One Hand Attack: 350 ranks in the weapon and 30 Agility and 30 Reflexes.
Dual Wielding Attack: 350 ranks in both main and offhand weapon, 200-303 Offhand skill (number has not been determined), and 30 Agility and 30 Reflexes.

One Hand Example:

Centering upon your scimitar, like the eye of a storm, you become a rapidly rotating column of death.
Your scimitar lands a very heavy hit to a red bear orc reiver's left arm!
The orc reiver is barely stunned!
Your scimitar lands a strong hit to a red bear orc reiver's right leg!
The orc reiver falls to the ground with a gutteral comment about your mother.
Your scimitar lands a strong hit to a red bear orc raider's left arm!
Your scimitar lands a very heavy hit to a red bear orc raider's chest!
The orc raider looks down with a faintly surprised expression before collapsing upon the ground.
[You're incredibly balanced]
Roundtime: 4 sec.
