The Godly Super WW Assassin Guide! :D

The WhirlWind Assassin
----------------------------------

Abrevations That Will Be Used In This Guide
----------------------------------------------------------------
WWA = Whirlwind Assassin
Nats Claws = Natayla's Claws
DF = Dragon Flight
WW = Whirlwind(...duh?)
SS = Stormshield
Bnet = Battle.net
FRW = Faster Run/Walk
& = and
eth = ethereal
non-eth = not ethereal
DR = Damage Reduce/Reduction
CC = Crowd Control
PVP = Player vs Player(Dualing/Dueling)
PVM = Player vs Monster

Why Make a WWA?
----------------------------
Because a WWA can be extremely devestating, if you know how to use it, and you have what it needs, they can be one of the best dualers, against any character, ever.
