Net/whip changes?

Now that I have my shadow guy going and can look at the skill tree, i see shadow gets access to entangle abilities from whip/net at level 40. However, as far as I know you cant get/buy those weapons till level 50. Has this been changed that anyone has seen?? Also, the fight tag..."if entangled" unlocks at level 50 but that would mean there are 10 levels you cant tag entangled if you can get those weapons at 40. I hope this make sense. Thoughts?

Anyone have thoughts on the best attack style to use with whips? Bash/slash? Lunge seems illogical..

Don't forget about the shadow special styles too Shadow Dance and Whirlwind, i'm using shadow dance on mine and its quite effective, i could see using it with whip/net and then swapping to whirlwind once they are entangled/knocked down.
