The Silver Whip isn’t an A or S tier item but it’s situationally useful in the way a Dragonebone Club or other weapons aren’t. Not exactly in the spirit of the thread but a rogue forced to “tank” something might benefit from MH’ing it and swapping in a dagger for frontal backstabs; it could also be rotated in with a Locustlure as needed. As you are gearing up, it’s also a solid way to add 25Mr. In our guild these are SUPER cheap (about half the cost of a Kreizen’s Flame).

Again…it doesn’t play into the BiS rogue dps talk and I do not claim to be an expert (I’m not a rogue). I’ve been around to know which rogues top the parses and know which ones don’t, their gear is very similar. It wouldn’t be a horrible impulse buy, even if it stays in your bag 95% the time.

Well the trick to tanking is to maintain agro and the whip is trash for that. Rogues have something that rangers don't, AC. Rogues are tougher than equally geared rangers by a fair margin. Haven't done math, but I'm pretty certain Nightfall is the best agro generator. It's a 9/16 with dooming darkness proc and can backstab when the mob flips. Loved tanking with that thing. Mrylo is super high agro as well and that proc is ridiculous sustain.
