Whirlwind skill

I checked the

Whirlwind page and didn't get the information I needed.

If I dual wield two different swords. Which sword do I prioritize for which hand again?

for attack speed afaik WW averages the 2, so no difference

Thank you, that makes life easier. Then isn't the range of the

Whirlwind dictated by primary sword or something like that?

I don't know if this has been patched at all in all the recent revisions but this is what I've found.

"The attack speed of

Whirlwind is also worth discussing. Since Diablo 2 runs at 25 frames per second (even if Diablo 2: Resurrected runs faster, the back-end system still computes values based on the 25 frames per second). The first two attacks during the animation of

Whirlwind come on the 4th and 8th frame, no matter which weapon is equipped. The following attacks will then hit anywhere from 4 to 14 frames later, depending on the speed of the weapon as well as whether it is one- or two-handed. This generally means that you will want to equip very fast weapons or use

Whirlwind in very short bursts to benefit from the two first frames, which always deal damage at the highest speed possible."
