SirTommy2005 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Leaf Sword > D Long due to speed and stab bonus. Mith and maybe steels the leaf blade comes into the picture, but irons and lower can be whipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladycai Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I've always used a whip and dragon mace crush styles on them. Didn't know stab was their main weakness ... a platebody's weakness is stab? 95/99 Summoning95/99 Slayer [hide=This is what you look like when you play RS too long][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zotto Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Maybe there is an effect on mith dragons stab wise, but on irons and steels I hit hardest with a whip. In fact, I used to bring a DDs to iron dragon tasks for the special, but recently stopped doing that. I just whip them. It's faster. But maybe there is an effect with miths. I wouldn't know because I never did any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4duke Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Leaf bladed sword has the highest stab attack for a one handed weapon, assuming you're not going to use vesta's longsword. But are they really weak to Stab, or is that just an ongoing joke...Because Ive read on RuneHQ they are weak to crush... Leaf Bladed Sword is the BEST weapon against metal dragons: Ranging from Bronze to Mithril! RHQ are stupid... There is a lot of BS there. If you don't want to melee, you can Range or Mage anyway. Yet it's going to be a little slower than Stabbing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zotto Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Maybe so. But if i use DDS on stab for a whole iron dragon I am slower than if I use the whip on slash for a whole iron dragon. Is the leafbladed sword so much better than DDS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zotto Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 oh it is. 67 stab vs 40 stab. I will try it next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4duke Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The Leaf-Bladed sword is kinda' penultimate (new word!) weapon against Dragons! (Ultimate being Vesta's Thingy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ks631Pistons Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Ok, so I have been reading through the forums, and I just discovered something I NEVER knew. Metal (or all) Dragons are weak to stab? Is this true? And if so what is the absolute BEST weapon for killing them. I've been cancelling all my iron tasks, and quite frankly Im sick of wasting the points. So help me out guys <3. Or you can stop being lazy and test the stab weapons yourself. LAZINESS SAVES TIME :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zotto Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I finally got a metal dragon task so I did a test. I took my trusted whip and the leafbladed sword. The results. Leafbladed sword: 19 iron dragons in 00:16:59. Abyssal whip: 20 iron dragons in 00:17:05. Technically the whip won in this test, but the differences are really minimal. I would venture to guess that during a prolonged test both would have come out exactly the same. The leafbladed sword seemed to hit more frequently. The whip had a few more zeros but when it hits, it hits harder. So if you get lucky and don't get many zeros it does an iron dragon a lot faster. Preliminary Conclusion: For iron dragons it doesn't matter whether you use whip or leafbladed sword. (potted and with 95+ combat stats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
