Yes but whip is alot more accurate, especialy when you don't have enything to put its accuracy down. Accuracy is so important but so many people don't recognise that. They think its all about hitting high but its not, say you where in BH and fighting some body, what would be better 40,0,33,0,27,0 or 20,25,30,14,24. I'd say the one hitting continuesly, not because his hit's add up to a higher amount but he is hitting continuesly. I't is hard to k0 some body if you hit 30's-40's's but only once in a while, but if you can keep hitting 20's-30's then not only does your oponent get time to hit you alot but they have to keep eating and if they try and run away then its your chance to hit them when they in low health and kill them before they escape. This is why wip is alot better and more used. Now day's you don't get alot of people who can't afford whip in members so price isn't some thing to worry about too much. Now i don't want to turn this into a topic about bounty hunter but this will also help in killing monsters. I don't know about you but when ever i used to fight creatures they always used to get near to low health but it almost took forever to kill them and all they needed where like 1 or 2 hits. Now i have trained my attack up and using more accurate weapons it doesnt happen to me as much, believe it or not i have had that strength level for about 4 months at least and i have noticed a massive change since i got my attack up.
