#2713, "Flail/Whip warriors"


          

Well I tried the flail spec for the first time as my primary spec and I have to say it may not have been a wise choice. Although I am quite good in sword/dagger/mace I just don't cut it when I group with othes in the mid to late 30's. I have no excuse as I knew what I was getting into it. I have to say two things though:
1- Lash is completely useless. I fail and I kid you not (check my logs) at least 80% and it even says spec warriors would do better
2- I find the wait to choke way to long.
Yes this is a highly utilitarian spec but basically due to the make up it will forever be a seconday spec for most. Could there be a review of this weapon? I can think of three skills that would help:
1- Snap- quick flick of the whip similar to mace backhand
2- Pull and kick - Similar to swords Cross and kick
3- Lower choke level

Well my two cents

Lash was successful more often than not for me. Perhaps because I was arial with high dex. Perhaps because I used whips more than flails.

yes, whip specs have to wait for their skills relative to others. However, I would think the most experienced players would probably be as deadly with a whip/flail first spec as any other (bearing in mind they have knowledge of haste, for example).

eyejab is a very nice skill that shouldn't be overlooked. pull is pretty nice too.

well, I do agree that without haste you are basically a walking punchbag against ragers, for example. However, you are perhaps the only warrior class that can kill anyone (who doesn't have a cursed weapon) when your gear sucks.
