Stick Ranger 6.3:Whipper

[disabled]

Lets compare the usefullness of the stats. Assume a lv 36 ranger, he has 70 SP to spend:
Invest everything into Str => Average Damage of 37.5 per Hit
10 into mag, 60 Str => 32.5 for the whip + 4stones*4dmg/stone=48.5 dmg/hit
0 str, 10mag, 60 dex => 2.5 dmg + 16stones*4dmg/stone = 66.5 dmg/hit
Now the whip can hit multiple enemies and not every stone hits (more about less than every second). My opinion is, that right now a str only whipper is the best for most use cases, but if there are other whips (especially fire or poison) in the future, that will shift a lot. Also imagine the Bullet card 3 giving 75% more "bullets" to 16 Stones or fires or poison thingies... might be a little overpowered, or they need a lot of mag.

This class is great, but unrealstic so far. Whippers don't shoot stones out of there Whip in real life.
Ps. I wonder what Whipper will shoot out when we get Fire Whip?

[majorlee]

"realistic"... really?
and how realistic is an infinite number of fire arrows coming out of one bow or gloves that freeze things? or an orb which fires big thunder bolts at the nearest enemies? or a staff i swing once in a while which will leave "X"s in the air?

[Randomness]

Quite the opposite to realistic, i think.

[TheSeaweedDoctor]

How many new Whips do you think we will get next week?

[majorlee]

hm... maybe it's like the Priest and Gunner classes:

- the Priest was released with only the starting weapon, but one week later 4 other staves were added.

- the Gunner was instantly released with 4 weapons, with 4 more guns one week later.

so chances are that the Whipper will also get a couple (4? ;) new whips...
maybe even more because there are way more weapons now in total than there were when the Priest and the Gunner were released...
on the other hand maybe even less because they heavily narrowed down the updating process (regarding the update "quantity")...

I planning to "hack" to quickly level up.

I going to keep 10 dex and 10 mag for now. I may use the code feature to make different groups of whippers. I going to see who would do better in VS mode.

I will update as the game update.

On the subject of realism does the poison glove work anyway? Almost any of the weapons can be poisoned to some extent except the glove.

[Randomness]

I always think of the boxer glove being better off being called rouge and holding two daggers. Anyway it really depending on the glove. It could be more of a claw type of weapon. Ever played the thief class on Maplestory?

[hottdog]

I have an idea in terms of Whipper weapons: A whip that shoots a curve- shaped wave that does damage to enemies.

Oh, and by the way, I actually love the Whipper class. It is a slightly- indirect melee attacker, meaning it has the health of a melee attacker but the range of a long sword! Alright!

(double post much)
anyways, i agree, when do whips shoot rocks into the air,
(ps, I lurv this class)
any possible reason would be that the whip is so strong it blows parts of the ground into the air? best esclamation I could think of

[TheSeaweedDoctor]

Do you people think I should wait until we get more Whips to continue my game, or move on to the hard stages with Stone Whip?

[Randomness]

Well you would have to grind (which is almost unheard of in SR unless you are using four priests without hacking)

Train, get best stones, repeat. Even then it will take forever and you won't be able to kill the Castle Boss without using the "hit and run" technique. I personally think you would be better off waiting for the next set of weapons unless you know how to "hack" the game.

[TheSeaweedDoctor]

So i'll wait till we get more Whips to continue my game

[tackew]

same, I created a file with 4 whippers so Ill wait
who else did that

[alem007]

i did that to, my 4 whippers are level 21 and i just defeated the castle boss, it didn't really took me long.

Did anyone else notice some bugs with the whipper? Like the stones doing 3-6 dmg instead of the advertised 3-5? Or 10MP not being enough for the stone whip? Or the Whipper can in some rare occasions attack while dragged and even while mid air dragged? And is it also the case for other classes, that the priests also effect secondary damage? I might have missed it or it might be on purpose though.

This Friday or Thursday night the Stick Ranger team will fix all the Bugs for Whipper or add New weapons, or both!
