Whips

i would like whips to have the same selections as all the other weapons.
IE +1d4slash and crit for level 1 to 4 whips 1d6 slash and crit for 5 to 8 whips ect ect

i know its a rarely used weapon but given as there so weak as is making them standard like all weapons would help

Felt that this topic should be bumped. Was doing research for the wiki today and discovered that the smithy in Ave sells 1 whip, and it is a basic whip with no extra damage, no massive crits, nothing.

Bonus damage could be of the sonic type not slash as they are going to be low low bonus, maybe only
+1 sonic at level 5
+2 sonic and level 9 etc...

A whip is hardly a weapon so much as a tool, sonic would reduce resistance problems with what should be a mildly stinging attack.

there are 2 unique whips in the world...both are better than store bought...one is quite rare.

not doubting the unique drops, but im saying that if you dont know where those are, you must use a basic whip...

Thats not right. I understand its not a big weapon, but it should have the same representation as say club or dire mace.

There are crafted whips. I do know of the Whip of the Arcanum, but that is the only unique whip I've ever seen.

the other drops only if certain conditions are met...and it is a very rare drop

I see your points guys, but i think you have missed ours.

Whip is the only weapon that you cannot buy a lvl 5 version of, let alone a lvl 13 version.

It must be crafted or found. It is a rarely used wepon as is, and nearly non-existent under these conditions.

All Im saying, is that there should be the same oportunity to buy whips as there is any other wepon.

i second that motion, i have characters based arround the whip... lol its hard to work with the selection...

arcanum whip could use a little fix up... like increase the on hit by 2 scores or more to actually do what its supposed to do...

and not being saved everytime... (high lvl chars)

I have to agree with Kromix here; the saves on the abilities of many of the high level weapons are far to low to be useful at the levels they're intended to be used at.

lol especially because you have to kill one of your own to get one of them ;]

I know of 2 unique whips, is there a 3rd one out there? only drops at night or day? Grr... Any other hints? i'm curious to see it...

one is a primary weapon in one of the newest areas...the other is a secondary that can only be had if your good enough

a bump with some more suggestions

1) can you add a normal whip to the starting gear merchants.

2) levels 1-5 it is practicly useless to even use a whip unless your a super str based toon because of the low damage of the whip and the lack of a +1d4 slash & mass crit whip in the store.

with this in mind it would be nice to see something on this front not a high priority i know but also how long will it realy take for some dev to make a level 1 store whip and add a normal whip to the starting vendor? maybe 5 min at the most?

thx for your time

There is a level 1 whip out there with 1d6 or so damage... I made a whip-user a while back.

There are level 9, 16, 25, and 30 whips as drops as well.
