Whip it is best in the off-hand and the parry animation is similar to that of a dagger, katana, or fist weapon. the best way to use it is to hit from a distance as it has amazing reach(almost as long as the spear). hit quickly and at random. and noe that the N. Whip CANT i repeat CANT be parried so its good against parry spammers.

Good question - I just decided try it out because I had two just sitting in BB collecting dust. I don't even think I bothered to get the "regular" whip from Blightown on any of my toons. Is there a glaring difference between the two other than bleed? What are your experiences with them?
sparkly-twinkly-lizard wrote:the ar difference is 373 for the regular to 354 for the notched and 333 for the guardian tail (though the guardian tail has more reach and poison.) thus i'd say the best are the guardian and the regular whip as the guardan tail is great on buff builds due to its range and innate poison.

Thanks Rant - I was waiting for you to chime in. Because I'm too lazy to go to Blightown to get the whip I will hook-up with a dependable seeker for a couple.
Ok - I'm back on my dual-wielding kick. I got in a few duels running with dual kats (Uchi RH, W.Pole LH) and it is a pretty good setup. The config allows extremely fast attacks and when combined with fast roll - it is kind of OP . I never was in to katanas since I believe they are way too easy to use so I wanted spice things up by forcing my self to dual-wield them. Plus I have enough encum to keep a shield equipped just in case I need to take a defensive posture. I wanted to try off-handing the: Gargoyle Tail Axe, Crescent Axe, Gargoyle Halberd, Scythe and G. Scythe but I wanted to see if anyone had some experience off-handed any these weapons. I have never off-handed any of them in combat before . Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Still evolving....

I've used that combo. It was a bit disappointing. Priscilla's has so crappy reach and loses its speed in off-hand too. But it could work against turtles. If you're going for bleed, i would rather use Gold tracer + Lifehunt scythe.FattyOfDoom wrote:I've been thinking of trying out the combo of the Chaos Blade + Priscilla's dagger. Chaos Blade to build up there bleed and Priscilla's to get the 50% HP thing. Has anyone tried out this combo before?

Wtf? I always do around 100 dependimg on my opponents armor, maybe steel ring? I was using the bkugs btw
