gspbeetle Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 i thought it is farming and slayer that ruined the long (ddp++ and whip)Â i never use the scim. it didnt hit a lot better than long like whip and less defence bonus, as well as a stinky special.

Humus Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hmm well I used to have a whip but I got fed up with being skint. So I decided to finish mm and get myself a dragon scimitar, then sell my whip. I'm glad I did. I couldn't go into the wildy because of the risk of losing my most valueble item. But before I saved for whip I used dragon long, and I remember hitting quite alot in pest control. But you alwace got the mace and the dagger, huh?

Smapla Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 D long spec is pretty great. I used to bring it for hard castle wars games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquashock Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 The dragon long is a horrible weapon :?    The special is perhaps the ONLY reason anyone should use it. But even then, if you have access to a dragon long, you have access to dragon daggers.    In the Scim vs Long argument, aside from personal preference, the scimitar is better overall in everything except the special attack, but again, if you have access to the long, you have access to the dds, which is a MUCH better weapon to special with.    Its faster xp an hour Its more damage over time Its special is next to useless   but it is still statistically better than a long ^^Click For Monster Hunting Blog (180M+ in drops)^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they changed the look of the Dragon Longsword more people would use it in my opinion. Currently, the Dragon Scimitar just looks way better then the Dragon Longsword.  ^Click Siggy for Blog^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregmister2 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 i prefer the d scim over the d long. it looks much cooler and the quest to get it is much harder Barrow Drops: 1 Ahrim's Staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeones Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Dragon Scimitar with Dragon Dagger specials   DEFINITELY   beats Dragon Longsword with its own specials.   :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabbles Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Dragon Long is the classic mid-leveled all rounder that is outclassed by a few combinations of weps. The Spec is good, but I would rather be using D B axe with a scimmy or whip.   Dragon Long will always be a decent weapon of choice, there are just better weapons out there for those with more quest experience or cash.

Xeones Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 y_anima"]not in str tho Godsword train strength :-k  Or didn't you notice the gs?   I think this thread is directed toward the MAJORITY of people who play RuneScape, not the MINORITY of people who have billions of gp.   It has been tested, it has been proven, and it has been seen. Dragon Scimitar beats Dragon Longsword in terms of Strength training.   If the Dragon Scimitar hits 5 times whilst the Dragon Longsword hits 4 times, this is what happens:   You get five hits with 66 Strength and Slash bonus   OR   You get four hits with 71 Strength and Attack bonus.   Isn't it obvious???

Voldmort0 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 D long owns tbh 8-) It's the most fun Dragon Wep, or one of the most. D scimmy is just boring, but is much better to train with and hit well, but it's just a regular good weapon.   D long, I'd say, is for having fun.

highlanders Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 First off, the +5 str bonus of the longsword means that your max hit raises by 1. It doesn't even mean you will hit 1 more, you just have the capacity of hitting 1 point more. The +5 str is nothing good.   Second off, did anyone actually calculate the difference of speeds between the longsword and the scimitar? +1 max hit vs. more speed, this is what this is about, and there's no doubt the speed wins.   Third off, people say the longsword is better because of the spec. That's irrelevant. If you truly are concerned about being the most efficient, you will bring along a dbaxe or a dds. So stop talking about the specs, it's stupid.   And finally, if you want to get the most efficient strength training, either use berserker necklass + obsidian sword, or use "controlled" opinion on whip. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackal_55 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 i get more XP per hour training with the d long. the scim always get strings of bad hits for me, but the long is nice and consistent. and like voldmort0 said, the d long is more fun! :D nudist hippy vegan elves who inexplicably wear leather.

Numer0_un0 Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 If anything's underrated it is the D Mace, it hits about the same speed as the longsword and does more damage with its specials. Drink a sup attack and have a low def enemy (even PvP versus someone with str gear), you'll almost always hit your max.   You may say that the DDS is better, but, trust me, against barrows or good defence it has nothing on you. I use str gear with about 210 defence and dds doesn't touch me, but a mace can hit through that =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
