You're wrong about Longswords and Maces... I don't know about back from when RS2 was first released, but today Longswords and Maces are slower than Scimitars/Daggers/Shortswords... Ah I haven't used one since whips have been released, my mistake :) To the poster of this thread check out the weapon-speed guide :) http://www.runescape.com/kbase/guid/combat_weapon_types
