Quote:Actually, if you are referring to this tidbit - "The extra attack it generates when used with Whirlwind now has the correct damage range" - it sounds more like a fix for the fact that Sweeping Strikes did not produce correct damage when used in conjunction with Whirlwind. I don't see any other references in the latest patch notes. The Retaliation range bug fix is actually listed in the 1.10 notes, and given that this exploit worked quite well this previous patch, one can safely say that these two are unrelated, or at the most, must be treated on a case-by-case basis, and we can slap "Undocumented" sticker on this sucker.
Actually that's a different bug. Whirlwind would attack 4 targets and the sweeping strike would be in the damage range of however many targets you hit TIMES your normal swing damage.
Like say you normally hit for 400 or so. If you hit three targets, they'd each get hit for 400-ish, but then your sweeping strike would hit the next one for 1200-ish.
Looking at the release version patch notes, it looks as if they removed the note I was referring to, so it is indeed undocumented. I remember seeing it in one version of the patch notes, must have been PTR notes.
So another undocumented change is that the melee range for cleave, sweeping strikes, blade flurry and retaliation was finally fixed back to unbroken, patch 1.7 status.
Edit: Well this section was supposed to be in a separate post where the threading would make more sense, but the forum software put it here :shrug:
