Whirling Defense

Usage Notes

 * The piercing damage dealt by this skill ignores armor, does not trigger Winnowing, and does not get converted to fire damage by Greater Conflagration.
 * This skill will damage all adjacent foes, but will trigger the AoE scatter effect on the AI if the damage frequency is high enough.
 * Whirling Defense does not protect against spells like Flare.
 * Combine with Oath Shot to continually maintain, given high enough Expertise.
 * With Mark of Pain on an adjacent foe, Whirling Defense can produce very fast and deadly damage around the character given heavy fire.
