Aneron Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 After all of the changes to the anchor, would you choose to use it or a dragon scimitar with a rune defender? EDIT: Well. An unexpected bump a month and a half later. Well, if a mod sees this and thinks it's outdated, feel free to lock/delete it I suppose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteboy1102 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Anchor hands down. And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

Aneron Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Well, I killed about 20 elves with the anchor, then 3 elves with the scimitar. About halfway through the second elf I decided the scimitar is much much better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star_Fox Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 anchor ha a better special, but the scims much faster and with the option of wielding a shield, scimitar makes a better long term weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoD Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 i love the anchor its my favorite pc weapon for bosses and such i would use the d scimmy though lost rights to my dark red text >:( 12/20/06 - QUEST CAPE OF ACHIEVEMENTBarrows sets: guthan, verac, dharok, maybe ahrim eventually <- lost to a hacker whole stole everything of worth from my bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodkilla87 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Scimmy - you dont have to fix it. Thats why i always buy rune, even though i can afford barrows. Barrows is just such a hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmcf121 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 whip please. since i'm not training str anymore(for a long time anyway), i sold my scim, and keep my anchor around for cw's, duel arena, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celt23 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 It's my primary weapon now, I like it alot. My max with it is 35. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Dude Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 If they hadn't nerfed the speed, it'd be the anchor. Unfortunately, speed pulls a lot more weight than str and att bonuses, so killing the speed killed its usefulness. I'm just glad I got about 300k exp before they nerfed it the first time :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nenga Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Jagex will never be done, they love anchors. But i'd chose my abby whip with rune defender. Ponies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoknight2 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 id choose scimmy hands down 1) because its awesomer and it seems a waste of doing mm if i dont even use it and 2) because i dont have enough of teh quests done to get anchor :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno53 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 i prefer scimmy, but i do enojoy whamming the odd 35-38s now and again with that anchor i find the scimmy better than the whip too, i can sometimes unleash several high 20s with one compared to a whipper of equal combat rarely hiting 25+ killing off the TET, one newb at a time :^_^:im cutting back on rs now due to rl issues (college), my sig stats havent been updated in a while...

sheepdean Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Scimmy - you dont have to fix it. Thats why i always buy rune, even though i can afford barrows. Barrows is just such a hassle you don't have to fix the anchor either and anchor is better for p2p imo, it hits well, has a very good spec, has 100 str bonus and is only let down by speed. scimmy is best for monsters though, no dubt about it Back by popular demand!And I guess I just wanted to tell you, as the light starts to fade, that you aree the reason, that I am not afraid, and I guess I just wanted to mention, as the heavens will fall, that we will be together soon if we will be anything at all.

Nitemare100 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I like scimmy better because it's faster and you can wield a rune defender with it. And the slash attacks work better against most monsters than the crush attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquashock Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 My scimmy still hits more constant at pest control (mid 20s - low 30s) My anchor hits high mabey once every 2 rounds (35+) and i lack zeal sometimes with it. So honestly im sticking with the scimmy. ^^Click For Monster Hunting Blog (180M+ in drops)^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_13th_Apostle Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Scimmy...I've tried both out at the duel arena many times over, and speed + defender always wins. ^Thanks Lil_Atza!I love the smell of napalm in the morning. ...
