Replaying the game on New Game+ (on Death March difficulty) and yet to unlock the season pass. Having this ability from the get go has made combat infinitely more fun. I actually look forward to fighting crowds instead of running away and picking off enemies one by one (well not all the time, but I dont hesitate to get into a full blown scuffle now). Before you get the Whirlwind, you need to be really, really good with bombs (Northern Wind) and parry attacks if you're surrounded with more than 2 people. Lot of times when you're parrying 2 guys the 3rd one quickly gets a hit in. After you get Whirlwind, you wont be afeared of crowds! Seriously, it's legit crowd control move that (due to succession of attacks) increases the likelihood of dismemberment or any other sword buff exponentially.
Not only that, it can't be broken by sword hits to you (unless its a spear attack). It had made fighting so much fun in Witcher 3.
Apply the correct Sword oil, Quen yourself, Drink up Tawny Oil and Thunderbolt and go to work. You can even go to town on golems, cyclops and other relict types without breaking trance. Once again, this is a huge ability in the game. Combined with Northern Wind and other bombs, it is absolutely deadly. I wish there were a few more whirl moves than the standard one.
