Assassin WW Freeze on Level Up...

[OneFromBeyond]

Playing 1.11 SP, I created an Assassin with Whirlwind. Everytime she levels up, if I am in the Whirlwind animation she stays that way, forcing me to re-start the game. Has this been seen before?

Yup, known bug. There's no fix, all you can do is not be in a WW animation when you're about to lvl up.

Leveling has the same effect as leaving the trade screen. If you've had skeletons die after leveling it's because the game treats it as removing the +skills and other modifiers. As you can imagine, if this is done during the use of one of those skills which can't be gained any other way, i.e. Whirlwind on an Assassin, then the game has unexpected results. In this case, since you don't have the skill any more, it doesn't know how to react to the end animations, and you're screwed. Same thing happens to a Barbarian wearing a primal helm granting Whirlwind with no other points placed into it, I think. I'd have to check on that, though.

OK...thanks!
