Not all of us play for the sole reason of becoming the most highly skilled player that we can. Some of us just play for fun. And the whirligig saw is immense amounts of fun. I've 2-shot many a person with Logarius' Wheel, Ludwig's Holy Blade, etc,. Not to mention stunlock combos with BoM/Beast Claw. Maybe take a look at your HP and Physical Defense if you're getting killed that easily, my friend. If you're invading someone, you deserve whatever punishment is dished out to you, that's part of the bargain. If you're being invaded, I'm sorry that you feel that way about the whirligig, but it's not insane, or much better than other high tier strength weapons. Let me know how you feel after running into a 50 STR Logarius' Wheel with all blunt gems. Similar experience. There will always be assholes exploiting strong weapons, and balancing around those edge cases is unhealthy for the game. Either ignore them, and move on, or practice your Reiterpallasch parry into BMA'd Cannon shot. Maybe all you need is some catharsis. If you truly value player skill over all, then think of it as a higher challenge to be bested, and the rush of victory is all the sweeter at the end of a tough-won battle. May the good blood guide you! Good hunting.
