Durability of new whips

[zamot]

Has anyone else noticed that the durability of the whips drops at a rather quick rate? I seems that the wear and tear of these is alot quicker than other weapons with whirlwind.

I have a feeling most if any of the whips I get will end up being strictly "for looks" ...

I do hope somewhere down the line they pull their heads out of their nethers and allow these to be crafted... stupid they are not... totally should have been a recipe... very disgusted and annoyed that they aren't.

I got only 2 so far but both were macing so I enhanced one to see how it did. Played for about 30 minutes, running trades routes, total of 3. Killed 3 raider spawns that were of the snake level. Then waited for Krampus, Once he spawned I focused on killing the minions and the whip did fairly good. sucked for krampus. I think the whips will be good for lower level spawn but they lack the damage of the 2 handed weapons with whirlwind.

They'd be good for oldschool Chiv Dexxers with Parry (no Necro/Bush), like my Macer that i use for soloing/duoing Blackthorn's Captains. Being able to keep his Shield up while still being able to WW down the packs of mobs at the beginning of the Captain spawns would be awesome. His Shield offers him a crapload of stats, not just his Parry chance.

But yeah, the Whips TOTALLY should have been recipes.

Agreed!

I think whips are the way they are so that not everyone is running around with them all at once. I imagine they are making an attempt at releasing them slowly. I can understand this decision. Perhaps they will release them in higher quantity later.

Chiv Dexxers with Parry

Darn I was afraid the damage would not be enough. I use Bushido and I do not not fight the captains so I do use 1H mace weapons so I can chug pots also.

They will probably work for the weak stuff I fight on my dexxer.

Ok did another Krampus run. I killed no spawns during trade runs and only fought minions and Krampus. My Whip went down 9 points in durability but my Brittle shield is still at 255. I am confused how this durability works

Put the whip on a toon and play an intrument and let music skill increase. See it whip loses durability.

That would test if it has an unseen antique setting.

I tried music with whip equiped and no loss on whip.

Also I do not have parry on the character, use the shield for stats only
