I am running with Sweeping Wind, Kyoshiro’s Soul, Vengeful Wind, and Bazubands of Justice. With this configuration, you shouldn’t have to refresh the skill after you activate it. But it keeps dropping off, usually in the middle of a crowd, but not always. Twice I was just running, and twice it wouldn’t activate at all. This happens about 75 - 80% of the time. Previously it would happen about 5 - 10% of the time.
This is not a bug.
The passive damage of Sweeping Wind does not count as a melee attack. You have to actively attack at least once every 6 seconds to re-activate sweeping wind. The belt only refreshes the duration of Sweeping Wind when it is not dealing damage.
- The vortex lasts 6 seconds and is refreshed each time you strike an enemy with a melee attack.
- Sweeping Wind gains 2 stacks every second it does not deal damage to any enemies.
If you are running through enemies and not attacking, the belt will not refresh Sweeping Wind, and it will drop off.
