I'm closing in on 200k tokens, and I'm trying to decide whether I want to buy the CLS or the CR. I've been leaning toward the CLS, but I've seen so much information about the CR being better statistically. Here's my situation: I'm 95 att, 99 str, 85 def, 95 hp, 79 summ, and 77 pray. I have extremes, and I'm working towards 95 prayer for Turmoil, but I would say it's still a long way away. I'm also 87 slayer. When I play, I am usually either slaying, or boss hunting. Since I am trying to save at least some money, I will most likely still use whip for the easier slayer tasks, such as hellhounds, greater demons, etc., because I don't want to have to be constantly spending money to recharge my Chaotic weapon. I usually only PvM at Bandos or TDs (I assume that CLS would be a better PvM weapon for me, since I am not yet maxed attack, and because I don't have Ovl/Turmoil). I don't do PvP at all. Right now I have an AGS for PvM and a whip for slayer; whichever Chaotic weapon I decide on, I will sell AGS and get Dragon Claws for PvM specials. I have two main conflicts: First, I think the CLS is better asthetically. I know alot of people think I'm stupid or "inefficient" for considering looks, but I play the game for fun, and if I'm not having fun, I wont play as much, and therefore, will be less efficient. Secondly, for me, larger hits are more fun, and more appealing, so that also makes me lean toward the CLS (Please don't suggest CM; It isn't versatile enough for me, and I would like to keep the shield spot free). I'll have to consider all the facts and weigh how much these qualities mean to me, but I'd also like to have some more actual data about performance. So here's what I would like to know: How much faster could you complete a Steel Dragon task with CR compared to CLS? With CLS compared to Whip + Def? With CLS compared to Zs? How much faster could you complete a slayer task against a lower defence monster (Abby demons for instance) with CR compared to CLS With CLS compared to Whip + Def? Also, just tell me which weapon you think I should choose. I will have to personally decide whether or not the better stats of the CR justify choosing it over the reasons I like the CLS. Either way, I know I'll be getting a better weapon than my AGS or Whip.
