Whirlwind is a special move that was added during the Age of Shadows expansion in 2003.
Effects
This move is similar to the Bushido move Frenzied Whirlwind. It allows a single warrior to damage multiple adjacent targets in a single attack. Whirlwind is limited to aggressors; it will not cause damage to party members, allies, or innocents. This special move, when combined with a high Bushido, allows a melee warrior to clear out a number of enemies all at once, making this special move a must-have for Felucca and Ilshenar champ spawns.
Bushido bonus
Bushido gives a damage bonus to Whirlwind : ((# of opponents * Bushido) * (# of opponents * Bushido) / 3600) = Bonus Damage
For example, if a player is using a weapon with Whirlwind on it, is surrounded by 4 enemies, and has a Bushido skill of 90, the additional damage done to each of those enemies will be 36 points of additional damage. The damage bonus is capped at 100. [1]
