Path of Exile 2 Whirling Assault FAQs

Can Whirling Assault be used with other weapon types?

No. Whirling Assault is exclusive to Quarterstaves and cannot be activated with other weapon types.

Does Whirling Assault benefit from Rage or Momentum stacking?

Yes. Rage and Momentum support gems significantly boost attack speed and movement responsiveness, making Whirling Assault smoother and deadlier.

Is Whirling Assault affected by projectile modifiers?

Only indirectly. While it has a projectile speed stat, it does not fire projectiles. This stat governs the arc speed of the spinning strike.

How does the +1.4s Total Attack Time affect gameplay?

It extends the animation duration of the spinning strike, allowing more enemies to be hit during the movement. This can be mitigated with attack speed supports.

Can Whirling Assault be used while stationary?

No. It is a movement-based skill and cannot be used with Attack-in-Place modifiers.
