That'll be the Hellfire Whip he mentioned before the forums went down.
If it's a pet buff, I'd imagine it'd be something that'd enhance the demon's rage (damage)

Definitely a new travel power. Anyone who ever played Pitfall knows how whips are the way to get around.

The funny thing is that I can imagine swinging, doing a somersault at the apex and whipping out to the next anchor point. It'd look cool no matter how silly a concept it actually is.

Whips would be amazing, it could be added to both melees and ranged characters after MMs! Even better, I'd be willing to compromise on not getting my MA/Pistol Dominator Assault set for a Pistol/Whip set!

I think it'd work better as a buff for pets, rather than a power set - that'd need a lot of work to make the animations sync with the targets.

Well now that he's said it on a more public venue:

That was what Posi had let slip in the Comic Con's panel. What the others were like O___O was he supposed to say that?

It's part of the Demon Summoning set, all I know.

But WHIIIIIPS.

Kinda wonder if this will be the primary blasts only or if this will be significant to the secondary as well. They could just port the fire buff/debuff they already have of course.

I've got character slots saved for this one, let me tell you.

Sweet, sounds like it will be fun to screw around with.

Take it for the team when he calls you up. We need the /em whip_react emote to look perfect. ;-)

Is anyone at Paragon Studios a smoker? BABs is going to want to work on that "flicking the ciggie out of the beautiful assistant's mouth" trick.

We need a whip set so we can be City of Indiana Jones!

Awesome

I wonder if the dev digest does/will work again.. ?



I'm only ladylike when compared to my sister.

Yikes - BaBs obviously needs to work on his whip technique if it's him and the whip that you're worried about and not the 6 demons stood at the side of him laughing...

He is testing the whole powerset isn't he?

Oh well, if he accidentally takes someone's eye out with that thing, at least you can then begin developing the new Pirate AT
