Well, as im closing in on 200k tokens, i want advice on which chaotic weapon to get.

 

I want an item that is good all round for bossing and slayer, so im very stuck as to which chatic i should be getting :(, at first, rapier seemed to be auto win, but several friends have been suggeston cls, can someone try and enlighten me into the pro's and con's of each weapon? and which one i should be getting?

sounds liek your in the same boat i was in. if you want to do bosses, cls is much better. you can still use it for harder tasks like metal dragons and dark beasts.

 

Also, think of this. CLS with rune defender = faster, more accurate godsword.

What bosses are you looking to do?

 

Anyway all round slayer and bosses rapier would be best.

 

Edit: Here's another thread about it

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.~unknown~

Er, no, rapier > CLS at both of those. Considering OP is maxed melee, has turm and extremes/ovl's, rapier is superior for almost everything.

 

CLS is better for zil and (possibly) better for graardor. That's about it. Also keep in mind that maul > CLS at both of the aforementioned bosses, unless you're using a divine. CR meanwhile is better for almost every slayer task, better at DK's, and according to quite a lot of people better at kril (I've heard he has low defense).

 

Edit: there's also a huge thread discussing this

 

TLDR:

unless you plan on soloing a large number of zil's with a divine, or killing a large number of wyverns, get rapier.

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

CR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size.
...
It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

Rapier is your jack of all trades. And if you go for a second chaotic and get maul, it and the rapier basically trump cls anywhere you go unless ur talking about tanking with divine and such at bosses.

Basically, CLS is for pure monsterhunting - rapier is for a mix of mh and slayer. Maul is for PVP and some monsterhunting, while crossbow and staff are obvious.

Dragon drops: 82 (2 claws)

Dagannoth kings drops: 73

Barrows item count: 51

GWD drops: 54 (5 hilts: 1x bandos, 3x saradomin, 1x zamorak)

Whips: 4

Sigils: 1x spectral (FFA), 1x arcane (FFA)

Basically, the rapier is better than the longsword everywhere except at places where your target has more stab than slash defence.

Key word.

 

Rapier.

 

If you want to know why, there's a 45+ page thread in GD explaining why: http://forum.tip.it/topic/268592-chaotic-rapier-vs-longsword/
