And lasso only requires 8 ST and 1 IQ, so a ST8 DX16 IQ8 munchkin with a lasso can easily float a lasso over your dodging behind/neck/arm literally from across the entire arena, then choke you to death (to be fair, you should be able to escape if your DX is decent), or without save, pull you down or remove your weapon.

Possibly of interest, here's a
short report of a Death Test team including two whip/javelin dual wielders TBH the whips did not feel as broken as I was afraid they would be, although I did restrain myself (eg no whip lasso of bears).
