" whoismiked wrote: Considering the projectile it fires ~~flies~~ rips through the air .... I think it's pretty obvious it's Wind Ripper. Also just basic logic tells us that ripping through wind is a semi-common expression, while dripping wins makes no sense on any level. most people would have more dripping wins than me what I would like to see is someone RIPping to the wind I need more purple titles	Posted by Ocylix on May 22, 2014, 2:06:39 PM Quote this Post
You define winning as items dropping, however GGG has already cleary defined winning in POE as in this... " So if this item actually was a Win dripper, it would have a chance to launch fireworks on hit/kill/etc... Therefore Wind ripper is the correct name for this item.

Win Dr. Ipper It's obviously just a typo that will be fixed in an upcoming patch when GGG announces their partnership with a famous soda company and this item is the key to winning a free case.

Its actually... ..."Win, Dr.Ipper" -> WinDrIpper Dr.Ipper being the man who designed the weapon; being so good of a bow that they said he won. Hence the name.	Posted by MwHighlander on May 22, 2014, 5:15:32 PM Quote this Post
