About this mod

Staggers foes as you dash by them using Whirlwind Sprint, making it no longer a semi-useless shout.

Permissions and credits
A simple change
Have you ever looked through your shouts list in the UI, only to look at some of them and ask yourself "how could that ever be useful in battle"? Well, this provides the necessary bump to Whirlwind Sprint. No longer will it be the shout that can only slightly maneuver you or close minor gaps. Now it will stagger most foes that you run into!

Description
This is a minor buff to make Whirlwind Sprint a little bit more than a utility shout. The stagger should provide enough of an advantage to get the upper hand in a battle. This change has caused me to use Whirlwind Sprint more ofter in my playthroughs, which is the basically the desired goal. There are no changes to any visual effects from the vanilla Whirlwind Sprint. Also, this will NOT trigger friendly aggro.

Whirlwind Visuals
I have included an alternate file, which adds the visual effects of Whirlwind Cloak from the Dragonborn DLC. Every gameplay effect is the exact same for both files, except for the visuals.

Changes
I have included an extra file with the changes suggested in the comments (Dragonborn DLC required for this file). This version has different effects for each word of the shout:
  • 1st word: Staggers
  • 2nd word: Staggers and deals damage
  • 3rd word: Deals damage and knocks enemies away


Downloading

If you want something more...
I have already made another mod that applies a knockback to whirlwind sprint. I only recently made the 'Stagger" version because I wanted it a little less powerful, but still useful. If you want to try out Whirlwind Sprint that knocks everything away, you can find it here:
