Whirlwind Breakpoints

[pbrain]

1) Every 4 frames Whirlwind finishing function checks if you should make an attack.

Does this mean attacks are only possible on the 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, etc. frames starting from the begining of ww's activation, or is the 4-frames between checks only valid for the first 2 freebie attacks (i.e. the first 8 frames) and then it checks every frame after that using the 'real delay' number? To clarify my question, if you have a weapon with a 'real delay' of 6, which sequence of frames do you make attacks on:

A. 4,8,14,20,26,..
B. 4,8,16,24,..
C. something else

A would make sense, given that real delay of 6 corresponds to an empirical breakpoint, and B would look identical to real delay of 8, but A seems to go against the 4-frame check.


Something else I'd like to clarify as well. When dual wielding, which weapon attacks first? I'm guessing it's the weapon on the left when looking at your inventory screen (that is, the weapon in your characters right hand). Just saying 'leftweapon' is amibiguous (to me at least-there could be a convention I'm unaware of).

Thanks to all the code readers who are pulling this info out :D . This thread explains so much, especially with regards to dual wielding's quirks. I think it even explains Blizzard's claim that dual wielding increases your attacks by 50%, even though that's only technically accurate in the first 8 frames of ww and against 2 or more opponents :blink: .
