try botd wp the 6 range is godly
whirlwind has a maximum range 5, which is reached by a rangeadder 3 (range 4 as listed on arrest summit) weapon in pvp, since players are size 2 (2+3 = 5)
its possible to have up to range 7 on normal attacks with a rangeadder 4 weapon against size 3 enemies, but against enemy players you cover 85% of the area with a +2 weapon like berserker axes and cover 100% of the area with a +3 weapon.
so a war pike has the same range as a glorious axe. But for berserk, the war pike is longer.
the thing is that whirlwind only checks for targets inside the 5 range radius, then checks for weapon range. I'm not sure if this means that shorter weapons sometimes miss when there are targets outside the radius (I don't think so), but it means you can't hit from 6+ range

If you can effectively use the different play style it can be loads better than your average mest whirl click and hold retard fpk bvc...
Without scripts its pretty absurd to try to only clip on 4/8 frame hits and it really limits your playstyle and makes you more prone to mistakes. You probably average less damage just from human error
If you had a perfect 500% ed eth +20 max 20% deadly strike mallet, that's still just 500 damage. Compared to grief you're getting +46 damage while losing venom, -25% defense, -25% poison resist, life after kill (matters vs dudu), not hitting the whirlwind breakpoint on whirls that last more than 1/3 of a second and not being able to wield a beast mace, so you have to sacrifice something on mastery or not having the efficiency of fanat, which means you're probably doing less damage anyway
The only way you can an 8 frame clip whirlwind work is with a big 2 handed weapon like a thunder maul
