after a brief search of the pikeman forumn, i thought i would post my questions aboutspin attack here.

is spin attack usefull anymore?

what is the timer on the basic spin attack, and the advanced spin attack?

can this special be used with other melee weapons, (to include unarmed) ?

from what i understand, the old, pre-cu 'tactic' of going solo and macro-ing spin attack on a lair is instant death. how often do you find yourselves using this special?

this thread is dedicated to those players who enjoy bringing death to hordes of enemies.

I use spin attack probably as my promininet move. I find at level 80, and you are emant to be "tanking" for people, running in and using it against critters that they are trying to hit focuses it all on you! He he.

I still find it very useful, mind you...i kinda do the move half the time because its one of the only decent animations left.

Its very useful in a group. I don't know about the timer, post-CU its better to never use an attack twice in a row, as you'll wait a much longer time. If your up against a group of enemies, better to alternate between Melee Hit on your target, and then Spin Attack (throw in a Sweep once the enemies KD timer wears off, gets you a free attack).
