All it is really useful for is causing the silence and freeze status around you. The area of effect isn't that good, and most people are guarded against freeze and silence in WoE. Also, your time is better spent with Dazzler, which is far more effective and less random. And Dazzler doesn't require you to melee someone, so you can stand somewhere remotely safe.

All in all, I'd say no. It's a status effecting weapon. You can put a status card in it and have fun statusing people in PVP and WoE, perhaps. Not that your gypsy should have enough AGI to make the best use of it.

[Nack~]

Not that many gypsies have enough AGI to make the best use of it.

Fixed. Lets not be a closed minded filth monger now darling

It's fun for screwing with people who aren't smart enough to bring green potions, but that's about it.

So other people don't have to look it up. Frost Nova is NOT dictated by INT. :)!!!!!!!

[Jayed]

Frost nova is also 5x5 which is a pretty small area of effect to be honest. You'll have a hard time even getting to people around corners or over ledges. It's not that good. You pretty much have to start meleeing people in the middle of their precast without even a good way to get there.

[Parple]

Might be an okay CP weapon if you make it solid. But not really.

[Ahina Reyoh]

It's sort of weird... FN'll autocast on people who hit you from outside the 5x5 range and show the animation hitting them, but it only seems to do the actual effect in the 5x5 area around you.

I have like 188 atk speed on my gypsy, this whip owns. =]

Doddlers site said this:

Adds a 10% chance to cast [Area Silence] Lv 2 when dealing physical damage, causing [Silence] status to all enemies in a 11x11 area around the player.

Which after testing seems more accurate than the 5x5 cell range you people are talking about (tested it on summoned mushrooms, whacked one at the edge with the rest getting silenced too)

[rhapsody*]

i should try this whip..

I could mute Geos from up to 7 cells away... but 7+1+7 = 15, which doesn't match up with any of the Area Silence levels.

I hear Frost Nova is a bad skill and if everyone has unfrozen's on, it won't really do much but do some lil dmg, unless you're some kinda crazy gypsy build with a billion int

And if you're not an agi gypsy, I doubt you're gonna start whipping people at slow aspd speed during precast just to set off the silence effect

So, my opinion, not that great whip unless you're fat bard

If Kaite lasted longer, it would be a great precast whip to run in with but Kaite doesn't last longer.

If people are pounding on you as a Vit Gypsy, you could always wear a physical damage reflecting equipment and make use of it.

Other than that, it's a fun whip to play with if you're bored or you want to annoy people in PvP as an Agi Gypsy.

There's no possible way I'm the only agi gypsy on RO. I remember a 99 agi gypsy from illuminauti way back in the day.

[Rith]

so buy my whip then in CHaos :D well for those who wants it

[Jayed]

I think there are more of this whip than there are AGI Gypsies. Though the question on the table is, if you're an AGI Gypsy, how do you even stay alive/unstunned long enough to walk up to a group of people and melee? And I assume you'll wear undead armor so you don't get rapidly stone cursed by the first priest or other class you melee. I bet that lack of VIT is real fun when you're trying to pot =x

I guess if you were VIT/AGI you could annoy the living hell out of people. Must be an uber hard build to lvl, though.

[not fat bard]

I have alot of agi, and I have no troubles staying alive in WoE, and I rarely wear deadly valk nor do I use OH sunnies. I'm not saying I'm unkillable in woe, but I am very durable, also a vit/agi build isn't hard to level, just gotta be creative.

[Vienna]

Do you guys lack enemy Dazzler or something then, cause if you have 1+2 vit, you should be "stun" locked. Unless you're soaking up Status Recovs that should be going to more important classes like wizies =\

[amerlia]

In our WoEs, by the time we get through to dazzle and whatnot, we either a) run them completely over and our biochems/sin-xs destroy the gypsies/dancers b) their gypsies are retarded (true in many cases) rush our strings and I tarot them into submission or c) he stuns and comes out of it, it's not like he has 1 vit, he has some.

But on subject, I agree with those above. Useless pretty much. Same as all the new whips.

While this topic is here... what're people's opinions on the Episode 13 whips?
Stem of Nepentis [2]
The strong tentacles of Nepentis brings forth, a hard yet soft rope.

INT + 2.
While using Slinging Arrow, there is a small chance to enable the Frozen Status on Enemies.
When refined at 9 or higher, the chance is much higher

Weapon Attack: 120
Weight: 100
Weapon Level: 4
Required Level: 60
Jobs: Gypsy

Rope of Unbalance [3]
At the end of the rope is a power that enables enemies to back off. The users hit by this whip have nothing they can do but back off by its powers.

AGI + 2, DEX + 3.
When using Slinging Arrow, the enemy will be knocked back 2 cells.
When using Arrow Vulcan, the enemy will be knocked back 3 cells.

Attack Power: 110
Weight: 70
Weapon Level: 3
Required Level: 70
Jobs: Gypsy
They look sorta meh to me even if the Rope of Unblance could do similar damage to a Rope[4]. Just more whips to put in the storage collection, or is there actually some use to them?

If the Stem of Nepentis wasn't a level 4 weapon, it'd be easier to upgrade and a more practical whip. However, I guess they want to keep Gypsy players interested in almost useless but fun whips.

The Rope of Balance would be useful if the effect worked in WoE but I doubt it would. Useless like the Carrot Whip.

I'm waiting for an autocast Tarot Fate of Card feature on a weapon.

There's no possible way I'm the only agi gypsy on RO. I remember a 99 agi gypsy from illuminauti way back in the day.

Yea, she was agi too, but she like never ever WoE'd and 99d in Ti1. And I don't know any other gypsy out there on Loki that actually has high agi and WoEs. And if there is, then I'm sorry, but they probs suck since you're pretty much the only gypsy I know that stays alive as long as a Vit built gypsy...even though you are vit/agi/dex type thingy (I'm basing all this on Loki btw - if theres any agi gypsys out there, please stand up)

Back on topic, I like the Rope of Unbalance. Knocking people out of SW/Pneuma in PvP for my team to kill them. But for WoE, it's not that great since we all know how strong AV is :rolleyes:

PS. And Ame is the only gypsy that seems to slinging arrow with sleep arrows which is fcking annoying

PSS. And I'm the only gypsy along with Arnold that likes to portal bug dazzler <3 I should really learn to cut that shit out >_>

[John]

Nah, that _.~:+:RHaPs0djyeR:+:~._ thing does it too :P

AGI Gypsy/Minstrel could be fun, Arnolds looked quite intresting but I'd probably only consider WoEing on it if I had access to OH sunnies =\

[Rith]

i tried the whip, the status effect seems to come out often even on a low agi gyspy

[Deis' assault]

There's no possible way I'm the only agi gypsy on RO.

Trying to remember that Gypsy's name... *ropds*... its on the tip of my tongue, too.

Lost in Sin is an AGI Gypsy on Chaos.

Dunno if there are any others.

Oh I never seen her do that, she's always in Arrow Vulcan delay when I see her. Also an agi minstrel would be pretty fun, riff strings bomb spam, I know a few bios on loki that could get 190 atk speed with a pure agi minstrel's help. =^-^= I have a 7x bard named R Kelly, future agi minstrel?

[amerlia]

But yet so, so, so very effective and awesome. =D

[Jayed]

I like the rope of unbalance. It should do around the same damage as a rope[4] even at like 160 DEX. That said, I think ropes should ideally be replaced with this as 1) it makes leveling solo easier, 2) it is superior in PVP to a rope because suddenly your slinging arrow is a mini charge arrow, giving you new tactics.
