Useless weapons

[Platinum_Myr]

Those weapons would make a lot more sense if they made style bonuses mean a lot more.

 

 

 

And I mean a few points actually mattered. So if you're going against rune armor with a crush bonus, it is signifigantly better than using say a slash or stab bonus.

 

 

 

Not just sort of better, but a lot better. It would also make negative bonuses extremely good, and 0 get hit a lot more.

 

 

 

It basically requires an overhaul of the combat system though :(

[Jimmyw3000]

All the weapons have a point.

 

(No pun intended)

[purpieman2]

maces are pretty useless on f2p, but the d mace is prety good.

[Lenin64]

all the weapons that stink are here fot 1 reason, and 1 reason only: so that we can laugh at people who use these as their main weapons. But yea, why are there even warhammers? Its just a lump if metal on a stick, and only fremmeniks sell them.

[Nazgul740]

alot of those weapons were used in rsc... at least I remember useing mace, battle axe, 2h, skim, hammer and long... all weapons had the same speed and bonus against different types of armor...

 

 

 

 

 

umm hammer wasnt in rsc if i remember right....

 

 

 

Are you sure? :? I could swear i used it in at least 1 dm... meh you could be right though

Plates should have high stab and slash bonus and low crush.

 

Chains need to have high slash mid crush and low stab.

 

 

 

I think if armor will have different stats (like chain will have higher crush then plates) and we will notice the differences we will see people start using bigger range of weapons then whip and d scimmy.

I too wish that chainmail had a higher crush defense. The only chain that is ever worn is the rune by lazy wusses who are scared to do dragon slayer and the dragon chain of course... It always annots me when the slayer masters say to use a high crush defense, but the plates have the highest...

Hey!I wear rune chain, and I did dragon slayer. Plate is too bulky for me, and really, how many monsters use stab attacks? How many use crush? exactly. Chain also looks better in my opinion. Ive never wore plate ever, not even in my lower levels.

Warhammers

I agree

 

 

 

slow and cheap

[meol]

I had seen this since I was f2p. Nobody uses daggers, only a very few newbs (not noobs) used shortswords, maces weren't used at all, nor did warhammers. Most people used scimitars and battleaxes, and a lot of them also used longswords and 2h. That's still only 4 out of 8 types of melee weapons in f2p. In my opinion, the differences between slashing, stabbing and crushing attacks and defenses should be much larger, as well as the advantages of one weapon against another. (For example claws being faster than daggers, or the shortswords being more accurate than longswords)

Rubber Chicken. 8-)

 

Rubber chickens are 1337.

 

So are scythes. Scythes are teh 1337test!

[minirouge13]

everything but daggers and rubber chickens are 100% useless!!!!!!!!!

 

yay!

 

 

 

oh theyre not? :oops: my bad :-k so the rubber chicken and dagger is?

 

 

 

well teh dagger is a little magical...

Warhammers and shortswords should have the ability to wield two of them. Spears should be one handed. That would help them abit.

[123Yourgone]

Jagex just needs to make all weapons the same speed, who needs realism, No one uses 2 handed weapons any more becouse they are useless.

[harleytdawg]

thrownaxes have a use =p

 

D spear spec owns for cw

 

 

 

 

 

besides that.... :uhh:

 

ive been wondering why does the d spear own in cw kinda nooby question but :?:

Its more about balance than realism. Who would use scimitars or daggers if u cud swing a huge hammer or axe at the same speed?

 

And nobody uses 2 handed weapons? Ever seen someone hold an M16 with a shield?

I was reffering to runescape artard.

 

And people will use scims and daggers becouse they want to wear a shield.

 

If jagex insists on making 2 handed weapons so slow, they should make them do a LOT more damage.

 

To keep the average damage per minute arround the same depending on armour type and other factors.

 

As it is a d scim kills full rune faster then a dragon battle axe, and thats just stupid.

The special is one that pushes a player back one square and makes them dizzy for about 4 seconds. Great for flag holders.

Javelins just miss something, and that's too bad because they look cool :P

 

 

 

They should take the brine saber out, i heard it isn't 'that' good. Or upgrade it's stats.

[skeroh]

bronze dagger (p)'s. lol, um...i thought thrownaxes had a use in the dagganoth dungeon if you didn't have two people. or maybe it was kalphite...

[qeltar]

The brine saber most likely will be used to kill something in a future update.. they all but said so.

 

 

 

Some of the weapons discussed here really are useless in their current state. For example, the javelins -- slow and inaccurate, why do they have dragons drop them all the time when nobody would use them? Maybe to kill something easy on a slayer task but that's about it.

 

 

 

On the other hand, Jagex seems to be making an effort to encourage people to not always go for the same weapons all the time. For example, what's the best melee weapon against mith dragons? Hint: it's not the whip. :)

As far as I can remember back, warhammer came with rs2 :anxious:

[hephaestos8]
