Ranger rat whip

[Tethler]

Just as a preface, this is on green server, so suggestions to use velious era weapons aren't helpful.

So, I've always been bad at figuring out stuff like damage calculations and optimal weapons etc, so thought I'd pick the brains of you fine folks.

Revultant whip has a 5/14 ratio, which results in the liberal application of MH damage bonus. Is there a good rule of thumb I should follow when deciding when this should be replaced? Is a Wurmslayer (25/40) with a clearly superior ratio better than the whip, or does the damage bonus application on the whip make it worth using still?

Also, is there any situation I'd want to use whip in offhand? Just for mob push?

Would appreciate any feedback, thanks!

The whip is better than wurmy on high AC targets. Those don’t really exist until Velious though.

So in Kunark era wurmy would be the superior weapon in pretty much every situation?

It’s very consistent, you get nice MoK healing, great for mob push. I’d prob use it until you can use something around a 10/18. Watch those enrages [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] .

I find it hard to endorse in comparison to something like Jade Mace for any target except in fairly contrived situations. Mine has been banked for a long time.

I'd swap between Wurmy and a faster weapon (e.g. Jade Mace, sky sword etc.) depending on the target / whether I'm soloing or not.

Pretty sure this is ranger bis primary for kunark era. Not that bad to acquire just find some enc in hs north to solo it for you. Just don’t piss them off breaking cc with its proc when you do get it
