Whip, Is it really that great?

[Frankdragoon]

In my opinion the whip owns totally, but i wanted to hear what you guys think. So post away :

[britonlongbow]

It's speed combined with it's str bonus is what makes it the best weapon in the game.

[Frankdragoon]

i see what you say, but is it worth the 1.6-1.7m? or do you think it should be atleast 1m??(i got one btw, im not trying to lower its price)

[aoe325]

Yes. 'Nuff said.

[britonlongbow]

Well since it would only take 2-3 days maybe 5 to make the money needed I would say it is worth the cost

[Frankdragoon]

yes its powerful and yes its fast, but i still see ppl prefer d scims.

Its fast hits hard and is 1handed. There is no wep in runescape that compares.

Yea, some people (like me) just think that it is a really inpacting weapon, if you look at d scimmy it seems like you're hitting something with some plastic. Although it is not this way, it depends on it's stats.

Strength training, (now in the style of the thread) "Nuff said"

[wakka102]

whats there to have an opinion about? it IS the best weapon :lol:

[britonlongbow]

D-scim is the best str training but it requires 1 very hard quest and one long quest

[Ts_Stormrage]

For strength training:

 

 

 

scim/rune def

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For pk-ing (where you dont need much running anyways) and dueling:

 

 

 

Anchor

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for long-term training other then strength:

 

 

 

whip/rune def

[jwrm22]

i hate it :) i dont wanna train def and atk...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and the anchor owns it easyly... just tested it at duel arena :wink:

[Nitemare100]

Whip has always been my favorite. When i train str i just go to pc. But I'm also starting to like the anchor ever since they made the 2nd modification to it.

[runekille156]

saying that the whip is high str and ownage speed with pretty low price is a all around good weapon. People say the whip is over price now my first was 5m and some peoples whips were 7-8m and even at the begining like 15m so dont complain about price and its a very very good atk and def weapon to train with.

[Abyssalwhip]

Basically spam..

Exactly i bought my whip for 3.7m and like 4 months later it went down. You should all be happy that such a powerful wepon can be gotten so easy.

Cost of d scimi annd its spec really comes into play here. Ppl feel cheap enough not to risk afew mil in the wildy so bring scimi. The special is also far better than the whips so in prayer battles the scimi has the clear upper hand against the whip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If a scimi user prays and u pray to him he will cut ur pray and inflict severe damage with a dds spec/other powerful attacks (ancients if u were mage praying etc) to perform a good KO. IN combination with range and mage it can be effective to have 2 specials to stop prayer for 5 seconds leaving u free to kill runners/prayers with your most damaging style of attack depending on what armnour he is wearing. (60 att, 99 stre, 99 mage, 99 range, 52/43 pray,99 hp, 1 def could be a perfect d scimi pure)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The scimi lessons the need for 52 prayer for smite because prayer can be cut anyway. ONly 43 is really needed. THis is an advantage to pures who want to keep their cb lvl low.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scimis do not have the strength or speed of the whnip but have other advantages in comparison to the whip to indirectly aid your next attacks, particularly aiding non-melee attacks which don't need the special bar so much. (only one dds spec after scimi slash so not enough KO possibilities for melee unless they on low health).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scimi may also train strength which the whip may not.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scimi is definately an all round weapon. Whip is solid melee whnich is occasionally used at no advantage whilst maging.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example.

 

 

 

Opponent got high melee/range defence armour like veracs (and whip and rune def and high att and stre) and is mage praying. The veracs gives a prayer bonus which will mean hnis pray lasts a long time. You are fairly weak at melee (no chance trying 4 dds specs on the guy) and range but a strong mager (you are melee praying). U can d scimi spec and using barrage to win. If he takes his armour of you have strong enough melee to dds him once or twice-with armour on he will die.

[Risen_The]

It's good, and it's best out of all the weapons we have.

[muggiwhplar]

Yes. End of discussion.

[Revenga]

Yes...Dumb question. :XD:

[blouinator]

best weapon in the game i think the anchor(before it was nerfed) would have taken it over though

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

off topic:~Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind, My problems fell out of the back of my mind~ Reliant K (britton i love that quote :) and iv herard of that band before too aint it a christian band?)

[Chocobodude0]

It's fast, has an awesome strength bonus, and is cheap. Of course it rocks. The only drawback is being unable to (effectively) train strength. To be honest, the only people who hate whips are those who don't have one. :|

[iwatake]

Yes, it isn't just a stereotype.
