After having used both extensively, i vote longsword for a number of reasons: - It is more accurate.. i just HATE zeroes - The strength bonus is better.. Gatta love those 25s - The spec is better.. I'd rather hit MUCH higher than end their protection prayers for a mere 5 seconds! - More versatile.. you can slash or stab! I can live with a slightly slower speed. Looking in an old file of calculations, i think d scimmy gets 5 hits for every 4 d long hits. If one of those d long hits is a special and the randomizer is taken out, dragon longsword should do more damage over the course of the fight. Also, because of it's less accuracy, chances are the d scimmy will hit more zeroes than the d long, furthering the longsword's lead. For training however, i vote d scimmy. ~Net
