Guild Wars 2

There is a whip in gw2, You use it in an event in iron marches to train lashtail devourers.

So the animations are already mostly done. =)

I think it’s being a little particular saying that a whip wouldn’t work when mesmers shoot magic projectiles from a greatsword. A warhorn is a weapon – why not a whip?

Nonetheless, they could always beef up the whip and put blades on the tip of it. Similar to a cat o’nine tail or a bladed whip (but on the end rather than the entire whip).

EDIT IN: I just looked up Quistis Trepe, I think something like that would work and is similar to what I suggested above.

I’m for additional content! As my lvl 80 is a Warrior, it would seem like something I’d never get to use. Even though technically I already used a whip in the game, as someone mentioned in an earlier comment above.

If Warriors won’t get to use whips (most likely) I’d like Anet to open up the restrictions on pistols. I’d love to go two handed! Honestly, we’re warriors! We wouldn’t know how to use a handgun???

Flail/Morningstar would be an awesome weapon for warriors if we didn’t get whips.

I’ve often wondered at the exemption of the pistols, daggers too. I mean, aren’t we supposed to be masters of weapons? No focuses, wands, or staves i understand, but no daggers, pistols, or shortbows?

My guess is they ran out of ideas for weapon skills…

I would love to see my ele running around with a fire or ice whip. The daggers have a lightning whip attack.

aside from the horrible animation issues, whips are an incredibly niche weapon.

I’d prefer Dual-Pistols for my mesmer lol

unless you get the chance to wield one and i can bet you will!

2moons AKA Dekaron had whips.

If Acclaim can do whips… Anet can do whips…

Whips and Flails sound like a decent idea.

Whips for the mesmers/eles and flails for Warriors/Guardians.

Yeah I’ve seen whips or something similar on some occasions throughout the game, the animation isn’t hard or anything either, there are many advanced animated models in this game. I can imagine the aoe technique of a thief was it? I see it from pirates all the time but dont or don’t often see any players using it, I thought it was the thief class… The spinny whippy blue black lines lashing out thingy, totally a whip weapon skill

I’m just not so convinced about using the actual word whip bc it just has too many connotations? XD it sounds wrong or cruel or whatever. Maybe a better term, like you would have flail or chain or lash or Idk something better xD

it’s called dagger storm, it’s a thief elite skill.

The Animation is already there as stated by other people, today In Ebon Hawk I actually gained a whip weapon for a Dynamic event.

Edit: just some ideas for dungeon whips, TA = Thorn like whip, COF = a flamming whip, HOTW = an enchanted water whip? Whilst the human ones can be based on real whips such as a Cat o’ nine tails.

Whips can be a nice addition to mmo.
There’re some martial arts related to whips. It can look flashy.

Honestly , each class got ideas they want for new weapons , for a simple example:

Guardians would love to get a halberd or spear of some kind they could use on land.

Im wondering if we will see this kind of modification before an exp pack , i think not.

This whip idea is amazing and for future updates it’s a really cool idea. They will add weapons, not now but later they will like they did in GW1. Daggers, Spears, Scythes were added in GW1 expansions and weren’t in the game at launch.
This is a nice weapon and Arenanet should listen to you on this one.

Want chain whips for warriors and guardians PLS

(Copied from another thread)

This can be a hybird weapon. Part close ranged and melee. All attacks can have double melee range (what ever it is currently) but still have a good melee area attack. Naturaly, the damage has to be a little lower becasue (it’s realistic) it has a longer range than a standard melee weapon. In lower levels it can look like your standard whip. In higer levels it can be a multi-jointed barbed monstrosity.

1 – Whiplash – Damage enemies in a straight line
2 – Whip Jump – Damage single target; Daze for 2 seconds
3 – Overhead Lash – Damage in a 180 cone; Confuse for 2 seconds

Thief/off-hand

4 – Cat-o-nine – Damage in a tight cone; Root for 2 seconds
5 – Whip Crack – Damage in a tight cone; Stuns enemies for 3 seconds

funny thing is whips are already in the game. At least the animtions. First of all nightmare court have em, and you asa player can use them too in one of the renown heart quests

yes i hope they implement them as “standar” weapons i would love to wield one XD

I would love the whip as well! Maybe expansion!

Whips are already in the game, and when you play a Sylvari Guardian (this one i know) you get to choose a path that will let you use the whip during one of the storyline missions, When i first saw the nightmare court using the whip, i thought it was cool, but didn’t think it really did a lot of damage. After doing the storyline that allowed you to use the whip and seeing the unique skills that the whip had, a new thought came into my head as “why didn’t they make the whip useable buy a few of the classes?” I really liked the whip after using it and am kinda disappointed this is a NPC only item, like several of the other things you get to use when playing through the story lines.

The whip is a pretty cool weapon, the animations for it area already there, though, the ‘sheathed’ view of the whip looks like like you have a tentacle growing out of your back.

So yep, i’d love to see whips added, but not for just one class, several classes of the same ‘armor’ type so that the item isn’t exclusive to just one class.
