Affixes/Whirlwind Spins

Whirlwind Spins is a suffix that turns up on Main Hand, but only on gear tagged whirlwind. It gives kitSpins: +1 to +1 at its lowest step, +3 to +3 at its best — and you need item level 116 before the best one can appear at all.

It comes up at weight 5 when the game rolls affixes, never doubles up with another affix that does the same job (kitSpins), and it is what puts the Whirl, the Gyre, the Cyclone, the Maelstrom and the Vortex in an item's name — so you might pick up a Wand of the Whirl.

No Unique carries it at a fixed number.
