darkgale Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Both weapons are effective in their respective areas, D longsword is slightly slower than the Scim but makes up for it by an increased strength bonus attack bonus and a more versital special (in terms of PvP, being able to attack normally and then without the enemy knowing land some or a single high hit for a possible ko. The Scim, is good for its effectivly higher speed and popularity. Tbh, i would prefer a Scim in that particular situation, im not sure why since all of the information should deem the longsword the better weapon but i just feel safer with a scim contrary to its counterpart the longsword.

Your information is correct, but your logic is not. Longsword special isn't as good as it is thought - it frequently hits zeros, and usually hits low. DD++ is a far better alternative - its easy to switch and spec without wasting any time. And, obviously, d scimmy delivers more damage and XP in every situation.

If you actually use D long spec in a PvP situation, you have already lost. Dungeoneering isn't a skill. I'm faster than bots at Sorceress Garden. PM me if you want to chat. My PM is always off.

00hydro Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 If you actually use D long spec in a PvP situation, you have already lost. Now how do you mean that by? It's pretty much a low level knockout weapon. Despite how many people believe that the dragon dagger is the god among dragon weapons, I've found the dragon longsword to be more accurate. Chances are if you're using either weapon for player killing, you're not too high of a level. (Most higher levels use godswords or abyssal whips.) The dragon longsword is a perfectly find knockout weapon, packing a surprisingly hard punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racheya Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I'm a scimmy gal all the way. I used to weild longswords but after changing to the scimitar I just found it to be better... it's not about stats or anything like that, it's personal opinion and experience with each of the swords. I just find the speed to be more useful in combat. I edit for the [Tip.It Times]. I rarely write in [My Blog]. I am an [Ex-Moderator]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compfreak847 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Now how do you mean that by? It's pretty much a low level knockout weapon.

Chances are if you're using either weapon for player killing, you're not too high of a level. (Most higher levels use godswords or abyssal whips.) The dragon longsword is a perfectly find knockout weapon, packing a surprisingly hard punch. I don't know if you'd consider 133 combat a low level, but I find dd++ a very powerful knockout weapon, much more so then an abyssal whip or even AGS. Whip, obviously, is the weapon of choice for regular combat, but for that pull-out-and-combo power, dd++ has it (see avatar for details). D long is a horrible k0 weapon. One shot at a increased hit just won't do it. Expecially when they are eating. DDS is defiantly better. At lower levels, DDS is even better due to even higher hits True to some extent, the zeros and slow hits just aren't good with a d long. A dds tends to hit rather low on high defence, though - but it will murder pures of any sort.

Owned_Nex Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Well, what defence does is lower the chance of hits, not as much the amount hit. Dungeoneering isn't a skill.

Cacmypants Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Dragon long has a much better special than a dragon scimmi though... but yeah, otherwise it sucks compared to it... d long spec has a consistant chance of hitting mid 30s for 4 attacks (depends on your stats of course) and d scimmi is just pathetic even if it does work, 5 seconds with no protect prayer aint changeing the tide of a one on one fight...

Yeah, but you must understand that if your str is HIGH enough to hit in the 30s 4 times, then you could have easily hit 25+ 6 or 7 times. Even with the special, D long just barely misses on the DPS.
