To fly in the face of blatant sexism!

[Kiaro]

Dancer's have a 'wider' Selection of Whips at their disposal, such as the 'Queens Whip' Which bards have no access to. This is perhaps the reason gravity decided on this nurf.

This is plain incorrect. Queen's whip and oritental lute are equivalent, please make sure you know what you're talking about with the basic weapons and stuff.

That said, the range of whips are largely novelty and not actually useful. All that matters is rope [4] and queen's whip, violin and oriental lute. The others may as well be filler. If you want to argue custom content however, nothing the dancer gets trumps the electric guitar (JT1) which bards can insta-cast easily for some nifty pushback tricks outside WoE.
