Whips are one of the less appreciated weapons in Avendar. A whip will typically deal slash damage, but this type of weapon in particular frequently bears some manner of secondary effect. Gladiators, and to a lesser extent void templars, have the most specialized use out of whips in combat, but other pain-oriented classes, such as fire scholars, learn to use them as well. Whips are notoriously poor at parrying, but compensate for that by being more difficult to block.
