Sir_Redhead Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I would gonestly have to say the Scimitar. But that is my personal opinion. You just have to find what you like, and stick with it. Even if others say it is worse. Gained first quest cape on 3/22/09!

50Athlete50Lazy Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 i'm a scimitar person through and through. The dragon longsword's strength bonus (+5 over scimmy) only adds about one damage to your max hit. The scimmy is a bit faster, which adds up a lot over time, especially if your not killing something with extrordinarily high defence. As for the controlled "advantage" most people would use a whip for this which is far better than either scimmy or long full stop. Scimitar wins for me :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levon_ Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Scimitar's max will always be more than a longsword's max per minute+ of fighting. It's great you know what you're talking about rustiod. Everything you've said is 100% accurate a true. That being said...your a [bleep]ing [bleep] douchebag, and none of your advice will ever (or should ever) be taken seriously because of it.disregard good advice because the giver is a douche THAT MAKES YOU A BETTER PERSON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kam42705 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 With dragon- they both have their strengths, and are equally matched, relatively speaking.... With Adamant and Rune, it's definitely the scimitar Bronze-Steel- I prefer the longsword, although the Steel Scimitar is great too... Mithril- Either.... i mean wth no1 cares about that weak noob that was scared of the great almighty lord ZAROS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amitoz Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Scimitar. Come to my Clan chat (I'm there if I'm online) if you wish to borrow a Green H'ween mask, Blue H'ween Mask, Red H'ween Mask, or Santa for a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killjoyfuly Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 i use a dragon scimy for str training but if im honest i preffer the longsword (first d weapon ) its more powerful and saves and invitory space (no need for dds if you have long sword imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Sibz Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Limiting my options to only the dragon longsword and the dragon scimitar as melee weapons, I would say that I would mainly use the dragon scimitar. The dragon scimitar is commonly used for training strength since it yields more exp gain in the end. Despite the fact that the dragon longsword is stronger, it is also slower. So what if I were to be [in a hard place] up against a strong, deadly monster? I might bring the longsword. Why? Well, either through stabbing or slashing, it is more accurate. Would I trust myself to the scimitar [in a hard place]? Probably not. I have found that I tend to hit more often with the dragon longsword, so I trust its accuracy more than the scimitar. Also, the special attack for the dragon longsword is more effective than the dragon scimitar, unless I was in a PvP situation. In the end though, the scimitar has more benefits as a melee weapon in my opinion, so I'm a scimitar person. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De_Lille_D Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Personally I'd use Scimitar, because I think it's better to hit a little faster and a little less hard. RSN: De Lille D [P2P]- Visit my Advanced Farming Route Guide - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theomega Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I say long because the speed difference between scimmy and long are like, a half second. Long also hits harder and more often too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Jay99 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 No scimmy is only a tiny bit faster. I've tested. That tiny bit is rather important. It makes the scimitar do more damage/hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De_Lille_D Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 What are we talking about here? About which weapon does more damage? There is a simple way to verify this: kill one kind of monster during a hour with each weapon (use the same stats and pots) and compare the exp values. I think this will vary from monster to monster: monsters with higher defense are more easily defeated with a longsword, as it's more accurate. Monsters with lower defense on the other hand will be killed more quickly with a scimitar. This is just my guess. If you really care that much: try it out ...

michel555555 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 i like the scimitar better its faster and its spec is better for pvp [spoiler=click you know you wanna]Me behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home from a party after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with seven men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies who always had the munchies.

madouge2 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It is not speed that is what makes a weapon good, nor is it power. A dagger is fastest, while 2h is slowest. You must compare its damage and speed. The dragon long has a special. Ok. 4 specials in 5 minits. Who says im going to use its special anyways? DDS is better... Now the skim. Its fast, near dagger speed, strenth bonus slightly lower. Its special is useless, but then agan, im using DDS or DBA. It is able to do slightly less damage is much faster time. (plug it in on the damage calculator. In 80% of the cases, D long can do 0-1 more damage) Now, D long is more accurate, but it takes longer to hit. Even if the Skim is "slightly" less accurate, it attaks faster to make up for it. Now lets look at it this way: WHo has used both weapons? Those who have used both, can actully experiance both, and compare, not with facts, but brute power and speed, the experiance, and the grace. Its ability to do massive dammage, and hit almost dagger-like. Thats wher the whip actully comes in. It is the power of a D skimmy, but speed of dagger. Combining power and speed. D long, simply hits 1 or 2 more, but is much slower. Anyone up for my challege? If you've ever used a D skim, you would choose D long. nuff said. Dragon scimitar is the same speed as whip and scimitar. It all depends on experience rates, not personal choice simply enough. I think it has been stated many times that Dragon Scimitar has a higher rate of experience gaining than the Dragon Longsword, that is basically the end of the thread. I quite like the Dragon Scimitar's special attack, I think it looks cool and it earned me a glory amulet in an iron war once. Some level 126 was protecting from melee while getting piled and I Severed her and she got decimated in the 5 second period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Scimitars are better for training. The special?

Tis True! d scimmi is much better than d long btw stab/controlled is pointless... who trains with controlled, seriously? and stabbing is less accurate than slashing either way. Useing an accurate attack style gives a hidden +3 to your attack level, controlled is only +1 to all, which isnt a big difference compared to +3.

De_Lille_D Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Normally, using focused or controlled training is a matter of personal preference: they both give the same amount of experience and they both add the same amount of bonuses. However, when using protection prayers, it's better not to use controlled, because your +1 defense will go to waste. In those cases, it's better to use either attack or strength focus.
