Weapon type: Whips

Thats a nice weapon for meele / close range fighters. I think there should be normal, crude ones, and ones made with elementals, just like you said. For example, a handle with a fire whip thats made purely out of fire, not solid.

Why would a whip have knockback? It doesn't have any kind of push force behind it. They are very dangerous for sure, but not against thick skinned enemies or heavily armored foes. It should have heavy damage against unarmored fleshy targets, where it could actually do damage as opposed to an effect that doesn't make any sense in the context of whipping a rock golem.
Maybe my idea don't fit very well here, but I didn't find where I could write it better than here.

I think that bow shouldn't be used with gauntlets cause it's impossible and looks odd. I know that it's the fantasy style game, but It's would be the same like play football with skies.
If you wanna use bow, use gloves man!
Don't have beta, so sorry if some ideas which I share already are in game.

I suggested this for DIII as well. I think the concept would make POE pretty unique for a MMO or F2P MMO.

I figure the "base" whip would come with a knockback modifier (as all whips should have) and come available in different materials.

Leather of course, then exotic materials like "palladium" & "silver". There could even be whips that were created from arcane energies and some that could be made of lightning and fire or ice.

These elemental materials could imbue the whips with the appropriate elemental damage modifiers. They could even be dual-wielded!

Anyhow, that's my idea for a sadistically sexy weapon.





Castlevania
i think whips sounds cool they are not in many games that would defiantly be a new thing
WHEN A PROBLEM COMES ALONG.
PoE definitely needs chain whips that can be used against vampires and sconces

Bumping this thread as it has the most replies.

Whips would be a medium range weapon as opposed to all the only short and long range weapons we actually have.

So it would not only be a cosmetic weapon but an actual new gameplay.

Not sure if I am for the knockback property though or just a little one so it's more about rooting enemies on place.
