while doing the secret of southsun events someone linked Consortium whip, it was a blue item i believe a scepter with the skin of a tentacle.

how does one get this item? (it isn’t from the token weapon vender)

Just searched the database, there is nothing called a ‘Consortium Whip’ listed. Perhaps the person was just trolling?

I hope that if/when they bring whips into the game that it will be a new weapon type.

I think whips should be available to thief (think catwoman), necro (for their minions), ranger (?) and if I have my way, engineer, but I have no excuse for this, I’d jut love to be able to use a whip on my main. It is a ranged weapon after all, even if it is a rather short range.

So I hope it’s not just a scepter skin; I don’t think whips suit guardians or elementalists at all. (Mesmers: debatable for style.)

I just did a sylvari ranger story line quest, around the level 8-10ish mark and was being attacked by a whole mob of enemies using whips.. Couldn’t help wonder why we didn’t have them as weapon options for our characters!

Well, baring the Lightning Whip of course

It’s an NPC item. I linked it in NSP and also in an Overflow in addition to the Karka Backpack. I forget the name of it, but basically it’s unobtainable, it’s just an NPC weapon link.

Someone on the forums posted an item link to it yesterday or the day before. It’s a flesh colored tentacle with little octopus-like suckers on it.

I assumed it was weapon for NPCs only, though I haven’t seen any using it yet.

Hey folks,

Thanks for liking the whip I created (well, as much as a single designer creates anything that is). Currently the whip is not an item players can use. Thieves can steal a tentacle whip off of some creatures, but I don’t think it is something players can use.

I’ll try to keep in mind that there is interest in that weapon, and see if there’s not people I can talk to about adding more permanent solutions.

Robert, that would be awesome. I’m a big fan of whips myself and would love to be able to use it on one of my characters. (As a non-magic “normal” weapon, i.e. no light whip)

There is a thread in suggestions discussing possible new weapon types and which classes they should go with, in case you would find that type of input helpful.

I hope it is seriously considered! I’ve talked about several weapons I’d love to see even if only two classes could use them and whip was on that list along with a two-handed battle axe. A great many games overlook the whip as a weapon but others such as Castlevania have proven there is an interest for it in gaming. The whip would be a really different kinda weapon to use with all kinds of possibilities for pulls, throwing elements, and crowd controlling mobs.

Glad to see it is being looked into.

But whips are existing, non-magical ranged weapons. It makes little sense to limit them to magical classes.

Hey, I don’t know if you did it but thanks for the whip in SAB. That was a cool gesture and—call me weird—but I loved the animation. I don’t know if you guys remember the whip animation in SAB but it was hysterical. To me, that indicated that you guys heard “we want whips!” and said “who cares about the animation? Let’s get them a whip” and that’s just plain cool. You guys rock.

Oh, and thanks for the apothecary back. Some people might not see the little things you guys do but I notice them. TY!

The whips that you use in the Sylvari storyline are awesome, and probably a bit OP for PvP and WvW since they have (from memory) a pull, a push an immobilise and a stun.

If they do add them it should probably be to warriors first, they are a weapon suited to gladiators and arena combat.

I think Rangers should be the ones to get Whips because next to Engineers, they need the most love. Ranger needs more main hand weapons. We are blessed with amazing offhands, but the worst mainhands in the game…

A necro wouldn’t be too shabby with a whip either, because of the whole masochism thing from gw1.

Indiana, I’d have to say, strikes me more as a thief than an engineer. And in Crystal Skull, he’s obviously a high-level rogue with Evasion in D&D terms.

There’s also the distinction that it’s generally rogues, warriors and rangers that perform skillful tricks with their weapons – engineers are more about teching them up. So the tricks that Indy pulls with a whip would fit the thief theme much better. If an engineer was to use a whip, it’d be an engineered-up whip that’s doing weird things with its skills rather than just performing tricks with a whip.

Whip should be RANGERS only!!!

(there are several posts on Ranger forum about whips……..)

No regular, conventionally equip-able weapon in the game is exclusive to one profession. The closest are hammers, maces, rifles, and the two types of bows, which are currently all used by two professions each.

To those who think Scarlet hate means she’s succeeded as a villain:
People don’t hate Scarlet like Game of Thrones fans hate Joffrey.
They hate her the way Star Wars fans hate Jar Jar Binks.

You could always hold the skin until we got the Whip as official expansion in the future… Battleaxe and Whip sounds like good inclussions for future expansion And I think it would fit more as a “Whip” weapon than as a scepter skin.

Judging by discussion on the forums, Whips and Polearms seem to be the most wanted weapons for an expansion.

Polearm: Warrior, Guardian (paragon-style), Engineer

Whips: Ranger, Thief, Necromancer.

Preferably for both, a new 1h weapon? (Ranger and Engineer desperately needs a new MH…)

By the way, Robert? If you’re lobbying to get the pink tentacle whip as an option for player characters; would it be possible if you could also add a single Sclerite Tentacle (like the ones on the back item) as another version?

I think that having a Sclerite tentacle (scepter) combined with the Sclerite Back would look awesome!! Especially on Dread Cathulu (my Charr Necromancer)
