> Entwine is nothing at all like lash. The only similarity is the keeping in combat ability. Entwine does not lag your foe, so, for instance, when fighting an invoker who is kicking your ass, entwine does nothing. In addition, entwine puts your whip into your inventory, so you switch weaponry. > To answer the question of the poster: yes. Lash works better for whip specs, from my experiences playing both a whip spec and a non-whip spec who used lash. A bit of advice however, as a whip/flail spec...always use flails. They parry better than whips and are parries less. Further, don't rely on lash much. It sucks for mages and sucks slightly less for whip specs, but your best bet is to pick a spec like whip/flail for stuff other than lash. Entwine is a good reason, but better reasons are choke, strip, and pull. Whip/axe is a pretty good combo, imho. Choke, strip weapons, start with a pincer, they'll probably die before they can flee.
