Barb WW + shout. Shout interrupts PC player's WW, but not console players. Any input?

Any console players who played WW during the betas have any input on this? I’m trying to confirm that shouts do NOT interrupt whirlwind for console players, but DO interrupt whirlwind for PC players.

Thanks for any help!


Okay I have clarification on the topic now.

Shouts on PC are interrupting the WW and allowing it to recalculate damage formulas. You barely notice because the interrupt is like a millisecond.

Shouts on console are not interrupting it and not recalculating the damage formula.

What this means is console WW damage is stacking into the millions with shouts multiplying damage infinitely.

but…shouts don’t interrupt PC players in WW?

Honestly something I don’t remember so this is helpful in clarifying.

Got told, that shouts were not interupting WW in Beta

Interesting topic

Shouts should interupt, else it would feel silly

i just remember ground stomp interrupted it in the least agile way possible lol but that’s not a shout.

felt super clunky. like waiting for the bus before it happened/finished.

i can shout without interrupting in d3 - they should fix the bug where it ramps to crazy dmg but not interrupt the ww per say.

i can yell at everyone while running around ezpz :wink: don’t know anyone that can’t yell while running.

Haha I imagine you losing it by spinning it non-stop tho ! Burpppppp :smiley:

heheh YELP :face_vomiting:

Honestly if Shouts interrupted WW in Beta on PC, I didn’t experience it. I was still shouting while WW was up.

You should clarify the OP with this, AND put the time stamp in
