is this new whip going to have a strength option? or is it just going to have an attack, defense, and shared?

It will have the same styles as an abyssal whip, some players have suggested adding a strength option but this will need some strong support and would then be polled separately.

Poll it please.

Pking definitely does NOT need more OP items. Especially the 10% magic damage boost is just way too much. You have 85 magic please do not make suggestions if you do not know what you are talking about.

People will always go for what's fastest and if the new whip has a strength option it'll just hurt the Saradomin Sword (which hurts me since I Sara for money often). I'll vote no on that.

I do think that ranged is the forgotten middle child here though, no updates for it. Can we get maybe a power increase on the ACB or a ranging amulet along with the magic one?

A str option wouldn't devalue SS as it is mainly used for training. Sara sword still has a prayer bonus, and with the semi-high cost of using tentacle whip most players wouldn't use it to train with. You do make it sound quite selfish, though, wanting sara GWD to be better when this update could greatly help people who kill abby demons for money.

Adding this tentacle to the game will just destroy the value and usefulness of other PK weapons. The same goes for the amulet, it will make magic too powerful. It is currently possible to have a magic level of 99 at about 51 combat, and with those hits you will have some overpowered mages out there.

If those items were to be added to the game, it should ONLY serve as PvM weapons, and even then they will cause a severe crash to other high level weapons while increasing the value of the whip to otherwordly dimensions. Please, reconsider this idea and rather add a completely new and balanced weapon for each combat style which holds a maximum lvl of 75.

Thank you for your time.

I'm not selfish for wanting to conserve my method of making money which thousands of other people share. I've never heard of people caring about the prayer bonus on the SS and people often use it for Slayer. I don't even see it passing a poll because of people not wanting the SS to fall more than it already has.

You wouldn't be able to use your Whip for the following if it degrades:

Castle Wars
Pest Control
Questing

Having it degradable furthers the focus that everything is time and money related which is the mentality many of us left from RS3

Please explain how you would not be able to use a whip for castle wars, pest control or questing.

Well it seems that may people want to increase the amount to 10,00 hits and have a option to train str and you guys want 50000 hits. Why dont you maket it both to a point if you train with the st added option its 5000 hits and then the whip goes away. Then if you use the other methood o training it be counted as the 10,000 I am no to sure how it woul work due to the fact thta you can swich your combat bu tmaybe make it so a warning message comes up when you click to train wtih the str option and it says " warning once training str you will have 5000, instead of 10,000 hits on your whip and can't swich back to he tother combat styles. Bascily making it a str item or sometihng like that.

99 magic @ 51 combat means they have like 10hp. You could make something more effective around that level if you were 50 attack X strength with a Gmaul or 70+ range with a Dbow.

What manner of idiot tells Bwuk Im PB that he knows nothing about magic?

Please, adding 10% more mage damage on top of Staff of light(of the dead) would just be stupid. Don't make it 2013 again with ridiculous 40 damage ice barrages.

i know you wan'* and item sink for the whips but i don't feel it's the rigth thing to pay each 5k-10k hit's. why not make it like this : making the kraken tentacle costs 5 whips and the kraken thingy. when you die with it in a pvp situation it wil break apart into 1 whip and a tentacle.
this way alot whips will go out of the game aswell and even faster when it comes out.

i don't think adding such degradeable items is the rigth thing to do.
it's a slayer drop and adding the whip like this it will be rarely used to slay with.
this is just another advantage for the staking community.

plz consider this or make something like this and then poll it in 2 options, would you like the new whip and how should it come in the game.

ty.
