New weapon type: whip

I would love to be able to use whips as a weapon, maybe for demon hunters, mid ranged, has the potential to disarm opponents talented (or just baked into a class ability like a ranged disarm). Come to think of it demon hunters need a 3rd spec, maybe this can be call the punisher spec. Chain whips, maybe lightning whips, what do you think

This smells like Moon Guard.

Whips wouldn’t be able to do enough damage to kill mobs.

lol,
I think whips and flails would be cool.

I wouldn’t be opposed to whips, but I’m still hoping for more tech and a Tinker class.

Aren’t there some flails in the game, though they’re in the mace class? If not, that would be a good addition. The Crusader in D3 uses those and the animations are great.

Hey don’t get me wrong I would be one of the first people out there trying to make Simon Belmont but I am long time Moon Guard player. I know what is waiting out there in the candle lit darkness.

They won’t because whips are attributed to human violence and slavery. And WoW is now world of safezonecraft.

Warrior artifact weapon skin is a flail.

I’m thinking of them as a CC device for snaring a fleeing mob around the ankles.

I get RuneScape vibes.

Abyssal whip or Varoc flail.

I mean it would be cool to see weapons like that in the game and could go with so many transmogs for Paladins, warlocks, mages, and warriors.

It would just go to Outlaw as it’s upcoming redesign as a cowboy, opposed to a pirate.

prefer swords chain, but Why do I want another new weapon if the Warglaive is only DH main weapon? and this damn Expansion didn’t drop me in the vault or in Tarragrue a Warglaive that I need to be a worthy Demon hunter?

That is necessary to think if they will serve for some class or more than 2 classes, as I also want other weapons such as musical instruments for the bard.

And others that we only saw in Warcraft in the RTS, like the giant logs that the Taurens use in Warcraft 3.

Whips and chains, me likey! Wait I . . . um . . . LOOK! It’s Elvis!

Semper Fi! :us:

I think this is a clever idea.

I know where this thread is heading and it’s not pg either.

I can see the degeneracy creeping in. First furries and now whips.

It sounds cool :ok_hand:

I don’t think it needs a 3 spec, it was created with 2 due to the fantasy around the class, besides adding more balance issues to the already huge problem with classes and systems, i would prefer new classes with 1-2 specs like Tinker or Skins for classes.

Whips seem more like a shaman thing to me.
But I even RP that Su-Hee has one. XD
