Whip Nerf Poll

[Glitchless]

It has become apparent that despite previous efforts to give partial bonuses to non-whip users that whip users have, a whip users ability to heal himself with pets has been buffed by skills to an unreasonable degree - to the point at which an AFK whip user can remain alive vs. a similarly equipped dual wielder. Right now it is not a question of whether to nerf whips but how to nerf whips. We are opening this poll, but welcome other suggestions as well.

No

I don't see the option I like.

I don't use whips, and I don't feel like they need nerfing. I'm tired of nerfs altogether. There are plenty of builds, I'm sure, that can beat whip users.

nerf crushers also then with their stuns

[Faithfulservant]

I vote yes to nerf.

[Gracy]

[NemesisKnight]

DONT NERF ANY CLASS ON PVE

but give PVP option to nerf whip

i vote new abilities, its harsh on whip users otherwise. last thing i want is to see stuff removed (im not a whip user)

somthing to reduce healing sounds great

IMO, 2 changes are necessary:
1. Change the numbers on fire & ice. 25 - 50% max instead of 100% max to pull off both an attack & heal. They should either be able to hit like a mofo or heal like a mofo -- not both at once.
2. Reduce the amount of "whip-only" skills. Extending the skills to other builds at lessened efficiency should bring back balance without nerfing anything too much.

Casters > whip users > other dw > shield user > caster


Seems rather balanced to me. I'm sure archers and 2h are in there somewhere as well.

[Abeltronics]

ok so the why nerf whippers? because they heal good? nerf casters they can do 3k damage then

[Destruction]

Both Pvp and Pve need to be nerfed for whip users. When 1 strong whip user can solo a lvl 90 boss whereas a balanced, non-whip using FULL team cannot handle the same boss there is something horribley wrong.

P.S.-I use whips because I know how OP'ed they are. They DESERVE to be nerfed.

agree with poopoo

[beetdabrat]

As long as it doesn't effect PvE I don't mind. I'd rather see new abilities, skills, and gems though to encourage more diverse builds.

I have nothing against whips, but other clases should have gems/abilities to neutralize that healing ability.

I agree on #2. Extend the skills to non-whip users.
