Lets discuss what kind of skills you would want these new weapon types to have (and maybe how Whips and Flails would work)

Either way, you possibly cannot make a whip good enough to deal serious damage to a player

23

i hated playing calamity because whips were so outclassed

24

Terraria Technique:

crit dmg enabling, dmg buffing, self positive effect giving, and other weapon skill (we dont have minions/slaves) buffing whips.

25

there are no crits in AO tho

26

Not yet at least

27

the whips add them because they make the enemies feel so much painā€¦

i would prefer if AO never gets crits thoughā€¦

tbh, every weapon is weak when we consider that weā€™re god(or chaos) energy imbued superhumans with gear forged by ancient techniques. that or the weapons scaled to match us.

You know only mages are considered overpowered; the rest of the class is just trying to do something but in the end it doesnt even matter

29

Thats what the oracles want you to think.

they tell you this so mages get rid of the other classes, and then the Hecate spirit Oracles swap you chaos-users to use fire magic, before Poseidon Oracles flood you for good.

30

Oracles are like a Mage younger sibling that actually does something similar but you can easily toss them through a wall, Besides what is stopping a mage from using spirit weapons?

31

i think weā€™re derailing this post now; this is about how weapons are cool, not lore.

besides, Scythes(not actual war scythes, the common media version) are WAY less practical compared to the whip (or any other weapon) and their being added regardless.

32

Those magic-slinging twinks canā€™t handle the pain like us vitalbros

33

To use a spirit weapon, you just kill an oracle; you are not obtaining magic without the shard or killing curse user with devourer, which wont happen

34

i cant imagine a rope with a handle being effective weapon
a whip version of a spike ball on a stick: flail, works better and it is made out of metal
flail > whip, change my mind

35

flail could work as a strenght weapon

36

Anything is an effective weapon when you apply superhuman strength into the equation

37

Whips move very fast due to being light, surpassing the sound barrier easily, with durable magic materials and superhuman strength that could be a lethally fast variant of a flail.

Whips could be faster with less damage, and flails much slower with more damage.

Edit:

And again, unless Vetex adds these:

A whip is far better than a blade that only pulls said super durable enemies towards you with awful mobility included.

38

if the whip cant be a grappling hook and cant grab from long range it isnt worth it smh

39

then all weapons could be used as strenghtthge weapon as you can just use brute force with them

you know you can practically avoid most painful attack by avoiding whipā€™s tip? yes you can still get hit my the rop and anything else but main source of damage IS only the tip so if you successfuly block it with absolutely anything (stick, shield, arm, etc) you can avoid getting a painful hit, not to say that what you use as an excuse - SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH and stuff can also apply to armor, skin, body and anything for the both sides, also even if whip user is skilled heā€™ll have to somehow get his opponent to get enough vulnurable to get actual hit from a Whip the Way intended
so overall I donā€™t see whip being main weapon, barely even a secondary weapon

This is literally my point. Why do weapons require skill if its either a lunge or slash on a ground slam?
