Now that Jagex is done, anchor or scimmy?

Featured Replies

Dragon Scimitar and a Rune Defender for me, I need a new spinal cord every time I use that anchor.

  • 1 month later...

i actually gave up my scimmt and obby shield for anchor ::' its been worth it, in my opinion. i cna hit 22 now, instead of 18, and the speed doesnt seem to make a difference (to me).

Definitely the scimmy...the anchor hits hard, but it just doesn't hit consistently enough to compete with the scimmy.

^Thanks Lil_Atza!

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. ... Smells like...victory.

Neither, I'll stick with a whip. I'm not 99 str yet, (plan to plow ahead for that sometime), but I'm still not going to train str with the scim; I'm just going to PC it, like I did attack. Doing things the "hard" way doesn't count for anything but bragging rights, which is practically useless because I don't have anything extra to show for it.

Well, after bumping a 1.5 month old topic, it looks like the scimmy wins after all :P

my vote goes for scim, its a perfect balance of speed and strength

In training, hitting NPC's and unarmored people; yes, scimy wins...

 

 

 

However, when dueling or PK-ing the MASSIVE crush attack bonus (+92, with my other equipment added its +114) as well as its special that doubles your chance to hit, I'd pick an Anchor any day...

 

 

 

Scimitar just fails too often to penetrate my opponents armor, even with a defender. It's especially hard to hit through that +82 slash defense penance torso :P

 

 

 

Equipment stats other then strength bonuses do matter, guys.

If I had to choose...

 

 

 

Whip.

 

 

 

Attack > Str.

 

 

 

Says the whip product.

 

 

 

I would take scimmy, i like the speed.

simple answer:

 

 

 

At best anchor hits 20% higher than scim

 

 

 

Scim's speed is quite a bit faster than anchor

 

 

 

Scim attacks once every 2.5 seconds and anchor 3.5 seconds:

 

 

 

Damage of Scim / 2.5 seconds is the damage per second from the scim

 

 

 

Damage of anchor = 1.2xdamage of scim (for arguments sake)

 

 

 

Damage per second from anchor:

 

 

 

1.2x Damage of Scim / 3.5 second = Damage of Scim / 2.92 seconds

 

 

 

Damage per second ratio: Damage on anchor per second is 85% than scim's damage per second.

 

 

 

Anchor only parallel's Scim's damage if it can do 40% more damage than Scim. i.e. if you hit 20 max on scim, you need to do 28 on anchor for anchor to match the damage of scim

Both are as accurate but scimmy is more Dmage over time
