dirk4slayer Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 So here's my question: which weapon is better to kill Metal Dragons with melee, a Leaf-bladed Sword (on Stab mode of course) or a Whip? I've been wondering about this for a long time now, could any of you help me? Thanks in advance :thumbup: Chuck Norris doesn't ever need a compass; he randomly points somewhere and north goes there in order not to anger him.

Cptbaker08 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Both work well if you have high enough att/str lvls, which if ur hunting metal dragons you should, a whip will do just fun, especially for irons. When you get to steels the LBS is a little better and if used on mithrils its the best. Bronze dragons are week so a whip will be best. I myself have never done any of this due to the fact is i don't get steel or mithril dragons as tasks.

ultimatballr Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I've never used the LBS before so I would say go with the whip. From my experience on irons it rips pretty easily through their defence. But do you think you should be melee'ing them with only 70 str? Even if it was on a task and you had super att + str pots, I don't know if you are going to be getting faster kills than you would have been able to with that mage level of yours. Apparently, my signature was to big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn3090 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Back when i had 98 attack I compared LBS to whip at irons. I found whip to be slightly better. You have 94 so i would go with whip for irons-. for miths lbs is the best no matter what. Steels idk but it seems lbs would be better. [hide=Stats][/hide]"One death is a tragedy.

Tim Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I Personally say Whip's theway to go. Im hoping your using pray, I used Supers, and highest armor and still got hit bad trying to tank a Iron. none the less I killed one and won a 50k bet. \ Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyderownzyou Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 whip and prose armour all the way \ never tried leaf bladed sword away from turoths and kurasks.. :? You only live twice.

tryto Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I personally prefer whip for both steels and irons. Even for mithril dragons, the choice between a whip and a leaf-bladed sword is not very clear cut; the sword is a bit faster on average, but the whip has a spec bar, so you can check how long until you can use a godsword spec :P. It should depend on your attack level; I doubt there's much of a difference in accuracy at low-middling 90's, and whip has a strength bonus advantage.

pureprayer Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Zarfot says that leaf-bladed sword is better for mith dragons. [hide=]Im going to get "lol bs dis iz 4 ironz d4g0ns[/hide] But when you go mith use a leaf-bladed sword. Zarfot is as close to a Jmod as you can get. Pureprayer, you're awesome.

spyderownzyou Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 a leaf-bladed sword has lower strength bonus as far as i remember though, so your gonna hit lower :| i'd stick with a whip for faster kills You only live twice.

For irons it doesnt matter to much, so most people use the whip. For steels its a little more of a difference, but if you have very good att/str stats then it wouldnt matter which you use.
