Unknown Criminal Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 They suck, do they not? Worst defense in the game makes one of the better weapon types in the game almost completly unused, how do we change this? What can we change about whips that would make them a more used weapon, we all know that they are a piece of leather line with a handle in most cases, does anyone have any ideas on how to improve this weapon?

HBwillie Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 whips are offensive as hell and they disarm really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Criminal Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 We know what they are good at, its because what they are bad at nobody uses them, you lose a defense, and nobody risks that for an exta attack here and there, so im looking for suggestions.

Calron Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Actually a lot of people use whips these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantangel Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Instead of -5 in defense for being bad make them -4. Definitely wouldn't ever primary 1 handed and dual another weapon for it, I'd rather dual wield it so I lose dual parry on classes who have it and just use it vs. people who can't use them when I can only dual wield, in which case since dual parry rarely ever works anyways, might as well just use it anyways. I think major problem is people don't know where a whole lot of whips are and the fact that there's like maybe 3 good ones and 2 are hard to get, why bother when you can grab an exotic weapon that does 3+ nifty things when you attack with it and the whip does very basic attacks. I see weapons that have extra attacks as being more powerful than your basic whips that are hard to get for anyone really solo. There is one that's very easy to get at lvl 30-35 or so, but otherwise you either have to be lucky or find a group to help you once you hit 40+.

Raargant Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Whips are the best weapon in the game, hands down, versus casters, and in the hands of a warrior are quite powerful as well. Whips are fine as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deykari Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I originally opened this thread thinking it was going to be a proposed tone-down. Seriously, whips are immense. Infact, I've fought decked warriors dual-wielding whips as a decked hybrid (thus having the standard dodge/parry/shield-block/two-handed defenses) and a couple of other classes and found myself greatly outmeleed regardless of their poor defense because of their strong offense. Not saying that they need a tone-down. Just that, they don't need a tone-up. Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyzarius Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Whips rule, but like anything in FL they cannot be applied 100% across the board in all situations. Their great offence comes with a price that will burn you bad should you rely on them to much. oh..and lots of people use whips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizz Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I have seen very few whips in game, and the ones I have seen are weak. I would like to see more available and at midrange damage. I know there are a few good rares, but it would be nice to see some more standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aulian Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 echo echo echo.... Ah anyway, yeah whips are very good. I'd say better then flails for the most part in communer and caster killing. (provided you have the right ones ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
