Stick Ranger ver6.5

Weapon addition(Whipper).
Bug fix: Iron Medal

www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSAz-ID4QFU

Thorn whip 2: 2-6 att, physical 18-22 magical damage, 80 MP (needle glove like effect)
Poison whip 2: 2-7 att, poison 1-1 magical damage for 2.0 sec, 120 MP (melee whip which may cause poison when hit, nothing is thrown)
Explosion whip 2: 2-8 att, fire 30-40 magical damage, 150 MP (Explosion orb like effect)
Stone chain 3: 3-9 att, physical 18-30 magical damage, 40 MP (stone whip but with a more powerful magical attack)

Range and speed is the same for all whips.

Dang those whips take a TON of magic, and their effects don't seem that impressive.

Also, did the iron medal fix make it where the xp stacks enough to give you 2 xp instead of 1 when you kill a low level enemy?

Video added, enjoy.

Explosion whip could pwn but the problem is dex vs mag. you need a lot of mag but without dex you can't really expect to get a lot out of it.

I choose 25 mag as 25 is a good number to get a magical attack in every 4-5 hits.

If you guys request it, I may do a whip test. Pick a stage, and the amount of mag and dex. Str effect all whips evenly so please don't ask me to put points into that.

Stone Chain 3 is droped in Seaside 1

I nearly forgot today is Friday.
Here are the locations:
Poison whip: Forest 2, Tan Skull Bat
Thorn whip: Cavern 3, Orange Skull Bat
Explosion whip: Cavern 3, Brown Skull Stickman
Stone Chain: Seaside 1, Red Roundhead Walker
Those ridiculous high MP numbers seem to make them quite bad ...
*edit* ... I'm stupid... I thought something weired happened, but it didn't...

On the Stick Ranger comment board, I saw this. Richard Warlock also notice the problem between mag and dex and even gave the bullet numbers.

Number of bullets per whip at 0 DEX:
Stone Whip = 3
Fire Whip = 4
Thunder Whip = 5
Ice Whip = 5
Thorn Whip = 5

Correction:
Thorn Whip = 7

Poison Whip = 5
Explosion Whip = 3 (like Delta Explosion)
Stone Chain = 3

One of the biggest misconceptions about SR is that you have to have full MAG for the weapon you are using. One of the most interesting things about the Whipper class, I've found, is that you can balance MAG and DEX to do more damage than if you go full MAG. For example, Thunder Whip shoot 5 lightning bolts on activation but costs 90 MP. With 90 MAG, you will be shooting 15 bolts every three swings. However, with 30 MAG and 60 DEX, you will be shooting 17 Bolts (5 + 12 additional bullets) every 3 swings. Explosion Whip is like Delta Explosion (3 explosions). If you actually put 150 MAG on you character, he would be doing 9 explosions every 3 swing. With 50 MAG and 40 DEX (8 additional bullets), you get 11 explosions.

to be honest, i liked the 3rd to 6th whips more than the new ones. or better say, i was more suprised by them.
but anyway, they're still good, inspite of the MP values being ridiculous.

seeing that the first LV3 whip is "stone chain", chances are that the following whips will be "fire chain", "thunder chain", "ice chain", "thorn chain"? i hope not, but seeing how the orbs, swords, guns and gloves turned out to repeat themselves... let's see. ^^

Do you people think I should put 4 iron medals on my team and level up super fast because they fixed the glitch, or just leave my team the way it is with a lot of crystals.

If you're quite a ways from the max level, then make another set of weapons with four iron medals, or equip the iron medals over your other compos.

It's a lot easier to level up when you're making twice the experience, and if you have any distance to go, it's worth getting some iron medals.

By the way, there's a new update. Someone else make the thread because I don't have a good whipper to test the new weapons on.

I already made the thread but I forgot to put it in the update sub board. I will wait til a mod notice it and move it.
