Notes
- This is used essentially in place of a normal melee attack. It can't hit party members, but it will hit other friendly NPCs. Otherwise, there is no drawback to using this over a normal melee attack.
- The radius is 2.2 m while the corrsponding ranged attack Volley has the range of 3 m.
- Extra Reach does not increase the radius of Whirlwind.
- Some properties of items are applied to every creature which is hit but some are applied only to a single creature.
- There does not seem to be a simple rule which is hit if only a single creature is hit.
- It is not obvious which properties apply to every and which only to a single creature.
