when you think about diablo2 you instantly think about whirlwind barbs smashing everything down, can you please restore WW to its original state and let us re experience the nostalgic days we had whirling around and smashing everybody in pub duel games? this should be one of your highest priorities @devs.
also WW is completely useless for PVM now which basically makes the barb useless in the game and reduces him to a BO bot.
bump for fix. please blizz. something… First hit on animation… 2h scaling… no monster selection while wwing… no stopping to randomly attack… anything.
27.01.2022 - dear diary ww still not fixed. Barbs and Sins still sad.
Yo blizz gonna do anything about skill that deals literally 0 damage if you cast it for short range? Afaik its the only one in the game that behave like that :~)
No news about Whirlwind
lol wtf…I forgot blizz was 2 dudes working out of a garage
legit bump for legit fix
this bug is still not fix and patch 2,4 add so much stuff to the game 
and single target name lock is also bug
All melee is broke and unplayable
Bump for awareness 
look this for 17 sec and you know d2 melee in a nutshell 4,38 sec to 4,55
In OG Diablo they nerfed WW, it used to be OP AF, thats actually what made nothing but EBOTD usefull for a ww barb after they nerfed it,In OG d2 a grandfather could put out as much DPS as an EBOTD CS as it does now. Its not bugged its purposefully supposed to be like this, 90% of the players on these forums never played OG diablo 2 when they went through numerous fixes. they may have played some OG d2 but not through every patch as I have.The bug was a WW barb hitting 15 times in a WW pass and double that with 2 weapons.thats the bug that was fixed.WW was so OP back then before they fixed the bug a WW assassin was untouchable, A grandfather wielding barb before the WW bug was fixed could take ubers down faster than the ultimate Smiter you can build now.It was cool though, now WW barbs almost feel useless.Is it bugged no, it was made to be like this, is WW useless now…pretty much
Bump for blue post .
Daily bump - Fix the game please.
Yes Please fix WW for D2R first ladder. Cant understand how bump a few never before use skill Can have a bigger focus than this.
The OP thread covers many issues. The main “bug” is covered in point 2 and is new to D2R from legacy D2. The issue is that D2R doesn’t register hits properly at the 4th and 8th hit checks (the free hit checks that aren’t bound by weapon IAS). Arreat Summit documents the hit checks in the WW skill description. D2R is apparently not registering those hits, which is a nerf to WW damage compared to legacy LoD.
The OP is aware that WW was nerfed in legacy D2LoD, this is a separate issue.
The other issues are more QoL/usability issues which make WW not as fun to play as it could be.
On top of all that, when they nerfed WW in legacy LoD they over-nerfed it (and most other physical/melee builds including BowZon) into the ground, so it would be nice if as part of D2R rebalancing, they brought it up to be more competitive again without having to have GG gear.
Daily bump for some kind of confirmation.
Can confirm Blizzard is fully aware this issue exists I even directly messaged Llama and he did respond that he has definitely brought it to the D2R teams attention.
Keep bumping it for awareness of all the users. As they say “squeaky wheel gets the grease”.
Glad to know that this officially has some sort of awareness though.
That’s great news.
Fix it.
It’s getting weird that this isn’t being addressed publicly though.
