Korasi's Sword vs. Dragon Scimitar

[SpikeStr1ke]

Hello Tifer's! I got Korasi's sword last night and i've been trying to determine the diffrence between it and Dragon Scim for Strength Training. Now, as i've been using it a lot of people have told me it sucks and asked me why im using it. i dont understand why because the stats between the two are similar with the Korasi's sword being slightly better. I have two pictures of the swords here and i would like to know what you guy's thing.

P.S If your wandering why i dont use the SS for strength training it's because im not a huge fan of 2h weapons so please dont suggest i use ss or any gs for strength. Also dont suggest whip on cont. because im trying to get 99 strength out of the way seeing as how close i am now.

 

P.S.S Also please dont suggest i get 80 dung for chaotic weapons because im not a huge fan of dungeoneering.

[Grimy_Bunyip]

the only thing better than that, or a saradomin sword, would be a chaotic weapon TBH

[SpikeStr1ke]

K, so in the case of D Scim vs. KS, KS is better?

oh yes, people are just morons and they haven't really spend the time to look at the stats of the new sword :P

[SpikeStr1ke]

Awsome! That's exactly what i was looking for. It kinda made me feel stupid for using it and having everyone around me call me a idiot for it :(

[Obtaurian]

Same speed, KS has better stats. ;)

[Bladewing]

chaotic > sara sword > koasi > dragon scim?

 

buy a sara sword, it's better

[Sir_Squab]

*looks at stats of sword*

 

*looks at stats of d scimmy*

 

K, higher str, higher slash, higher stab. How is it NOT better then d scim for str training? Only other str training (excluding SS/chaotic) weapons are more "specialty" weapons, like obsidian weapons with berserker necklace, dharoks. Not like it (the sword) costs much. I can think of other alternatives, but I see no reason not use the sword. SS is a bit overpriced anyways imo, and chaotic is fairly far out of reach of the average player imo.

[PereGrin]

Nope, KS is better. Also, you can gain the void bonuses with a KS by using barrows gloves and the deflector instead. This gives void melee bonuses, identical stats to a saradomin sword, and more defense bonuses then regular void + sara sword.

 

KS also seems to have a better spec, I think.

[Aiel]

your 88 summ and 99 defense, theres no reason NOT to use a 2h.

[xpx]

Erm, you are comparing the new sword to something almost completely useless, and it's BETTER? that's a bummer.

 

In any case, your reasoning for not using SS/CR are not reasons, rather justifications why you want to roll around in a wheelchair. Don't get me wrong, i'm fine with you using KS, but if other people look at you differently for it, it is for a good reason.

[Dax]

Same speed, looks better, better stats, too lazy to get anything else.

 

It's a no-brainer. Go for Korasi's Sword, and laugh at the lesser beings.

[ruben1026]

Korasi is clearly the better choice compared to d scimmy especially for str training. Use a bunyip and use ss u won't miss the shield.

I think he already knew that. I don't think he doubted that the SS was better for training, he just stated he didn't like 2h weapons. No need to basically call him stupid (trust me, that's what you basically said)

So...you're point?

 

The scimmy isn't useless either, think back before you had 70+ attack. How useless was it then?

It's not good for high levels, but for the lower combat leveled players, it's the best they can get, so how exactly is it useless?

[Bladewing]

OP is 95 attack 96 strength 99 defence

 

not low levelled

 

he should just get the sara sword, or better yet a rapier

[SirIzenhime]

I know OP isn't low level, xpx said the scimmy was COMPLETELY useless though, which isn't true.

[Bladewing]

"almost completely useless"

 

the scimitar is good for training attack from 60 to 70

 

(gonna exclude pures here who keep their attack 60, as well as people who use it for dangerous pvp)

 

that's 500k xp, about 7 or 8 hours of training. nothing to get too attached to. you don't hear people going around saying "hey, rune scim isn't that bad..." because we use it from 40-60 attack?

[SirIzenhime]

rune scim is amazing, it's the best non degradable in F2p, from levels 40-99. How many hours is that? (this is a troll post, don't bother actually figuring it out :P )

[Wilmot]

Can someone explain why they are taking it for granted that ss > korasi's ?

 

ss = 82 slash 82 str

 

korasi's + defender = 89 slash 75 str (+ a little def)

 

So ss might be very slightly better, but don't pretend it's some huge difference.

I think i was already or almost 99 attack when the dragon scimitar was released so... I also got 99 strength using dragon scimitar(as it was the best weapon back then). As he didn't give any logical reasons for not using a SS, he practically is stupid, as realistically, there is no reason he should not use SS. I understand that the scimitar can be useful from 60 to 70 attack, but that is not the case with OP or significant.

3-5k extra exp a hour over the long run is a pretty big difference.

It is like a difference of 15 hours on your road to 99.

[Quyneax]

As pere said, for armoured zombies, korasi + barrows gloves + deflector > ss with void gloves.

[SpikeStr1ke]

Guys i reallize that SS is better and at 99 defence i shouldn't need a shield...I DONT USE A FREAKING SHIELD!!! im using the defender with both weapons. I dont care if ss is better its slight xp/hr increase over ks/d scim isnt justified by its 8m price tag...i dont have 8m to spend on a weapon thats only going to give me a few k more xp/hr than something thats free so stop suggesting it.

 

 

Now, to those of you who actually helped me, thank you i appreciate the advice, and the ones who flamed me for not using ss personally i dont care what u think about me not using an ss, ill use what i wanna use for str training and u use what u wanna use and mind ur own business if u dont llike it keep it to yourself because personally i couldnt give a damn.

You asked for peoples opinions on it and they gave it to you. It's a little like Sir Hemen's topic about Veracs VS ZS at Miths.

 

The sara sword is a stable enough item to invest in for strength training, and especially if you're slaying all you need to really do is sell your Zammy Spear and Whip. When you are 99 strength sell back the sword and get back your whip and ZS. Korsai's sword is good and all, but it's only real justifiable use is in PVP or metal dragon slaying where it's ALOT better than the LBS. Other than that, yeah the spec is good, but I'd probably say that Claws > Korsai still.

 

In all honesty it was summed up above - Chaotic > SS > Korsai > D scim.

 

From a practicality view SS is going to beat Korsai.

 

Sell whip and ZS, get SS, sell back when 99 strength. Sorted.

[SpikeStr1ke]

Well for one i dont have a ZS or Whip so selling those for ss is out of the question. I spent a lot of my cash pile on getting 88 summon i had a lot more but i lost 47m due to lag + dcing at steels so as i stated before buying an ss is out of the question.
