I believe it’s since a very long time…

Since the beginning.

since launch….

Drop blind field from pistol 5 and use whirling in it. It’s a nonstop blind spam + reflect projectile as well. It’s a very lethal combination. Just make sure you don’t do it on their zerker stance.

Hm, I’m pretty sure, there was a patch year ago or so, what removed reflecting from Wirling axe...

no that patch was to cancel dodge roll in whirling axe animation…
we can’t have those thieve escape now can we..

Since the beginning.

When the game launched, whirling axe gave a long evade, but it was so absurdly overpowered that devs changed it to reflect.

then why doesn’t the warrior’s whirling axe reflect projectiles?

15 second CD base (vs 35 base)
Fills adrenaline (i.e. greatly assists class mechanic)
Always on weapon (isn’t lost if used at incorrect time)
Flavor (tanking vs trickery)

Us thieves are holding the axes “wrong”?
