Engineers are an “Adventurer” profession. Indianna Jones is an adventurer. We should have whips so we can pretend to be Indy. BAM, EXCUSE’D.

Pistol Main Hand, Whip Offhand! Need an attack where you wrap the whip around enemy and then shoot it in the face.

They’ll have to think about renaming thieves skill “pistol whip” :P (Or at least changing what set uses it)

Also would love to see the whip on elementalist, ranger and engie. (Others could go for it sure but ele and engie have the least amount of weapon choices as is already.)

Expansion pack, new weapon types for all classes, done deal.

Whips and Polearms would be super.

Whips would be great. I’ve wanted them in the game ever since I saw the Nightmare Court using them!

It’s actually kind of strange that we don’t have whips when you think about it.

There are quite a few NPCs in the world that wield whips already.

Whips- Cool addition that you don’t see in many games. What would the skills be for it? Main and off hand? What classes would you like to see use the whip?

Polearms- Don’t we already have spears and tridents? Some have awesome skins….why not just make them usable on land but with a differing skill set?

Circling Skies.1872:

Whips- Cool addition that you don’t see in many games. What would the skills be for it? Main and off hand? What classes would you like to see use the whip?

Yes, main hand and off-hand… I made a somewhat extensive thread about it here: Weapon Type – Whip (It is now in the “Suggestions” subforum.)

… because I’d like if we could keep the discussion going independently of the Southsun Living Story arc. (This forum will soon get locked.)

Robert Hrouda.1327:

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.

Hey Robert, it’s a great idea to add these! Many people in my guild want these too, including me. I would say wait until(if) you guys do new classes. If you don’t, then it would be great as a new weapon. I also think adding flail skins for maces would be a good way to diversify a poor selection of maces in the game(just my opinion). The mace market could use some love and different types of flails would be a cool way to do that and add some style for mace users.
