I can't recall off the top of my head, but I saw it just a few days ago.
Maybe the grimlocks in UD?

Never saw it prior to the AI change, but afterwards, I've seen the Warship crew use it, and oddly enough "heard it" while fighting some of the Minmir giants/ettins.

Swamp hag uses it

One of the soldier's on the Dreadnaught does the anim every x amount of minutes
Re: Do NPCs use whirlwind?
The ai is adapting too much, they know WM is the best class.
Re: Do NPCs use whirlwind?
so no DM can tell me for sure whether or not this is the case
Re: Do NPCs use whirlwind?
I'm pretty sure I heard one of the minmir giants use the whirlwind (they lacked the animation). A great way to mechanically simulate a huge oaf swinging around a club-shaped tree trunk, really.
Re: Do NPCs use whirlwind?
I JUST WANT A DM TO TELL ME IF NPCS EVER USE WHIRLWIND
PLEASE BOSS

Re: Do NPCs use whirlwind?
If you only want DM input why bother making a post on the forums, since you're clearly ignoring all the other people in the thread that said they have witnessed this behavior in action?
If you're only interested in DM input might I direct you to the forum PM option to contact only DM's and not waste an entire thread ignoring people telling you they have seen the behavior you claimed no one has seen.

Re: Do NPCs use whirlwind?
You don't need a DM to tell you the most simple answer to this:
NPCs didn't use Whirlwind in the past, now they do. Ta da!

RP only starts at 30 if you're a coward.

Re: Do NPCs use whirlwind?
Out of curiosity, why does this matter?

Re: Do NPCs use whirlwind?
I know it's possible to script NPCs to use it. Valen Shadowbreath in HoTU does so.

I too can make ambiguous claims with absolutely no supporting evidence whatsoever and present it as fact.Dreams wrote: NPCs didn't use Whirlwind in the past, now they do. Ta da!

Re: Do NPCs use whirlwind?
Yes. Since the AI change, I've had the Swamp Witch whirlwind attack against me multiple times, as awkward as that is when thinking into it.
Normally, they do not. It's recent. Again, I'm really curious as to why this is a topic of distress, though. If anything, the permanently lasting traps that layer every dungeon, set by various spawns since the AI change stand out a whole lot more.
Furthermore, I doubt that a DM will be able to give you a clearer answer, as they weren't the ones coding the new NPC behavior.

Re: Do NPCs use whirlwind?
Yes: Some NPCs use whirlwind.
I am 100% sure of this, as I saw the Underdark egg spider boss use it just today.
It actually made the fight easier, as it was poorly timed on the spider's part and resulted in it standing around doing nothing for a few seconds.
This is a recent change, as I've never seen NPCs use it in my five years on the server, until the last month or two.
