[YeezyGT's S16] [MW: Impact] "The even-edgier Dark Drinker. Post-Whirlwind nerfs, there's a real case for having a Surrounded version of this tucked away - with Surrounded Spec, it goes up to +35% instantly, with a 2s lingering buff after no longer being near enemies. It's enough to just about one-shot stunned Unstoppable Phalanxes in Legend-level content, using Jagged Edge. Whirlwind is still very strong for sustained DPS phases, just not as good as it once was -- Guillotine doesn't have an option to slot Vorpal, so its essentially down to "Will there be enemies in this encounter, or just the boss to focus on?""
