Close a gap with the advancing attack
Whirlpool carries the user forward toward an enemy. Test it from a modest distance first and watch where you finish after contact. This helps you decide whether a short-range follow-up is actually in reach.
Line up the target before pressing the skill. If you pass beside it, turn toward the enemy and reset your spacing before spending another cooldown.
Budget the Water branch after Whirlpool
Water Wheel is the next purchase: nine skill points and Water Mastery 27. Together, Whirlpool and Water Wheel require 15 points, before other upgrades. Keep character level, Water Mastery and unspent skill points distinct while planning the path.
