The whip, a great, great weapon. But why does it not have an option to train Strength? I think the whip should have an option that gives just Strength xp.

Yeah Yeah we'd ALL like that.. but sorry it ain't gonna happen

You never know......

It won't happen, period.

It doesnt have one on purpose.

 

 

 

Go get a saradomin sword, or use a dragon scimitar..

 

 

 

Or just trained controlled like I do.

if this happened saradomin sword would be less than 400k in a matter of days....

 

it would also make the whip overpowered, dragon scimitar would be worthless.

They could add a stab option for the Abyssal Whip that trains Strength but not change any of the stats.

Yeah they could, but they won't. The whip was designed for non-strength training. Like it or not, it's a fact.

 

 

 

Personally, I don't care.. since I only train controlled.

Yeah, I don't think it will happen either, but if you consider that the whip would give +0 stab attack then it'd still be a pretty crummy way of training, but shut people up who complain about it not training Strength.

Please, strength is already the most common cape. We don't want it getting even more ahead.

Nope its to late for that.

 

 

 

Sara sword would crash cause it would be even worse than it already is, abby whip would go up, and there would be general complaining from players.

It's called "controlled".

 

 

 

And no, this has been suggested hundreds of time. Get a dragon scimitar or a Saradomin Sword and deal with it.

No, the whip is too much of a 'general use' weapon as it is.

if the abyssal whip could train strength i think the ss would go down to a similar level to the dragon scimi personally, seeing as the ss and abyssal whip have exactly the same stats without any extra items, this would happen a lot:

 

 

 

whip + rune defender, for strength training. seeing as the accuracy of the whip would be far greater than the ss, and it gives a small but useful defence bonus, compared to the two handed ss, therefore no rune defender can be used with it. i wonder how long it would take to get 99 strength that way? if you want to train strength, use an ss, or a dragon scimi + rune defender, not hard tbh.

It would become waaay to powerful, and would demolish the dragon scimitar.

The drawback to the whip is this exact reason. Nothing can be perfect. You either have to train with a scimitar, as it is better exp then controlled(time-wise, considering controlled trains all 3 styles), or Saradomin Sword.

Lmfao sorry but that's funny. How do you stab with a whip? LOL...

 

 

 

Anyways

 

This won't happen. The whipbwas designed to train strenght and it will never ever ever change.

+1

if you really want to train Str then get a different weapon...........end of story

Take a towel, and try to whip it as hard as you can, while still remaining accurate and acute enough to inflict pain. It doesn't really work.

 

 

 

Point: Whips are meant to be use accurately and under control, because you can't brute force with a whip like a sword. You also can't wiggle it around and hope someone loses an arm.

 

 

 

IT DOESN'T WORK.

would you care to explain how in the [bleep] a WHIP can STAB something?

 

unless you literally grab the tip of it and try to poke something with it, you cannot stab with it >.<

 

don't tell me it cannot slash, as it flicks downwards it lashes the whole bare edge of it against the enemy, slashing him with the 'bladed' part.

If you flicked with it, that could count as a stab. I realize that there's already an option called 'Flick' but it's still a slashing motion. Take anything like a chain or a cord or something and swing it underhanded forward. Just the tip will be hitting if you did it right. However, even in real life, this isn't as effective as swinging with it, so it's less accurate. They could leave the stab bonus at +0 or even make it a negative bonus, and they would still be giving the option to train Strength, so people couldn't complain about it anymore.

the main reason the whip cant train str is because it wud make every weapon apart from godswords obsolete end of convo
