Who are you to judge a weapons strength before it's released? hes noone dont worry about him. he just spams for post count look at the maul, the maul was the 2handed whip. i still see alot of people goin for the maul, not sure why but hey whatever. now lets compare. by comparing some items of the top two things(rune to dragon) i can only wildy guess with information on slash and strength bonus's of other weapons the dragon 2hander will have nearly 95 slash, and 99 strength. that might be so but it really depends on speed, that's what makes the whip so good, and 2h's are SLOW.
