Guild Wars 2

Who else wants to run around with a whip main hand and torch offhand? I know it’s “pie in the sky” but I love the idea of an Indiana Jones feel. It also goes along with the tamer aspect.

would be cool….

would be totally awesome if it was made a stun/bind weapon.

Dear Mr. Chopps,

i really think it would be cool, yes.

Robert Hrouda.1327:

but…. but I would never whip Cuddles the Black Widow, or Sir Chompers the Hyena… or even Citizen Snips the Devourer.

however you would whip that lazy bear, Henry, without hesitation, wouldnt you?

If they added a whip, we should definitely get one!

If we got any new weapon at all, I would prefer if they gave us a light option like the thief… if you don’t have a weapon equipped in that hand, you get new skills that directly control/buff the pet. Then you could choose if you wanted the first three pet-themed skills by not having a mainhand, the last 2 pet skills by not having an offhand, or all 5 pet skills by not using any weapon at all. (Skills would have to be good to make-up for the loss of stat points.) The first 3 could be offensive and the last 2 defensive/support… etc.

Lol ya I’m just spitballing for the fun of it, hilarious responses.

Omg, i would love to have a whip! However, i’d probably use it with a warhorn offhand for the total Beast Master feel, but that’s just me xD.

I’d support the idea of a whip for sure.

Something tells me Robert’s brown bear would be called Gentle Ben

love to see some female dominatrix rangers running around XD

being able to make a cool weapon out of leather would help the bottomed out price of of that crafing material too.

Indiana Jones was smart enough to not bring a pet with him.

My sides hurt. Lol. Great ideas everyone keep them coming

I for one would love to see a Whip for rangers. We know for a fact they were considered to be in the game because Whips are used in the Sylvari personal story (WHY were they not a Sylvari elite instead of the useless druid!?) but they’re just too baddass not to use in a future update.

Any Whip weapon that lacks a Devo reference is a tragic, tragic, shame.

Am I the only one who things a whip is a lame weapon? I mean, when is the last time anyone who wasn’t physically tied up was whipped to death? I mean, you don’t see em much anymore, but warhammers were accepted weapons of war back in the day. Heck, Engis have wrenches and prybars (probably used more often nowadays than we know). About the only cool part of the in-game Nightmare Court whips is the sound effect. But I’m pretty sure none have ever killed me.

Now, if they changed our Shouts to Whip Animal……..crack Sic ’Em crack

I’d have to agree somewhat with Seras. A whip as a main physical weapon sounds and looks (in my head, anyway) a little silly. I like the idea of a whip offhand, though. Something that (like others have said) is either pet-enhancing-heavy or control heavy. I mean shoot, we have whips from that event in one of the charr maps where you have to train devourers, and the lightning whip animations from elementalists. We’re halfway there!

wait, i have to repeat myself, DO WANT… plz add… plz plz plz

I disagree with Seras. Sylvari and the Nightmare Court already use Whips, and they’re quite deadly. We also have the Slave Driver in CoF who uses a flame whip.

I never thought of it before but WANT! Would make a decent mid-range weapon, pos with a bit of AoE or a cone of attack, because we all know the ranger needs something to target more than one enemy in a group. I think thematically it would work very well with the ranger aswell, especially thorn and vine whips. But personally I want it to be a two handed weapon, or allow me to dual wield

Engineers and rangers only :P (to compensate for all our sheet)

one can be a beast master, the other, indiana jones (whip and pistol)

If they do this, I’d demand they change the short bow Crip Shot description back to what it used to be…

“Shatter your targets dreams of being an adventurer with a single arrow to the knee, crippling them and causing your pets next 3 attacks to cause bleeding.”

If we get a Whip mainhand; we’d need a Chair offhand

Aveneo.2068:

4: Sit: Sit and become invulnerable for 5 seconds

5: Poltergeist: Chair becomes a mystic weapon, chasing and damaging foes

lol Chopps

Great ideas, enjoyed reading and moreso I support and want the whip. Always thought that Slave Driver flaming whip was quite cool (ermm…hot)

Captain Beaky does not like to be whipped.

The graphics are already in the game for this.

Also, there’s a whip that you can buy from an NPC in PvE that does the same animation.

What Arenanet could do is, like all conjured elementalist weapons, make a weapon skin out of this. If you don’t want to add a weapon to the ranger’s arsenal, you can make the whip a skin for an already existing weapon. Like an axe, or a dagger.

I vote 1h Sword.

I remember a long time ago wanting a whip that required beastmastery in GW1 so my character could attack with my pet without spending points on another weapon (if you wanted to do this effectively you’d have to put 9 attribute points into another weapon trait).

Whips in GW2 sound like a great idea though. Perhaps it could be filled with pet-centric skills, such as those that provide boons to the pet and increase the damage of its next attack when used.

If done properly, I would rock this weapon. A more PVE friendly melee 1h is something we need badly.
