I'm not sure I'll be able to get either anytime soon.. But I've heard that rapier is better than CLS? I was looking at the rewards page today in the KB and CLS's stats are all much higher than the rapier. So which one's actually better? My guess is that rapier must be somewhat faster than the longsword? Right now though, I think I still favour the longsword. :P Just want to hear some peoples opinions on which is better and why!

Bajillion-page long thread in General Discussion

 

tl;dr rapier is better.

Statistics have proven that the CR is better then in CLS in almost all situations.

 

But remember, this is a game made for fun. Don't let efficiency blind you if it isn't your thing. Chose which ever one you would enjoy using.

CLS+shield if 1.) Shield is needed and 2.) Monster has high defense (Graador)

 

Otherwise rapier+defender.

Hmm guess that answers my question, thanks guys. :P I'll give some of that thread a read. :D

cause it's so much more fun to have a sword that is about 50% longer. much preferable to actually killing stuff faster.

Pretty much nailed it there

Some people actually find it more fun to have longer swords.

and it's 100% undeniable fact that you get more ladies with a cls then a rapier.

I certainly find that more fun.

Lol, I remember that part, that was funny :P

If ever the phrase "it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it" has applied, it's now.

CR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size. :thumbup:

I like to poke monsters quickly with my rapeier...I mean rapier.

Rapier as first chaotic, always, though CLS will make it easier to get in contact with the female players.

You mean she-male players, not female, obviously? because there is none of the latter(i think the tally on an rs poll was 90-10 at some time, and the majority of female accounts are just males...).

Touché.

Yeah, if you play RS for the women, you're making some poor decisions.

What are you talking about? The actual women in are really funny and intelligent, and you'd be stupid not to accept meeting one of them in a dark alley friday night.

Yes, but statistically that nice woman is going to be a guy who's a little too into roleplaying.

 

I'm not saying awesome women don't play RS, I'm just saying most of them are secretly men.

 

Man this has absolutely nothing to do with CLS vs CR huh?

I love this thread so much.

 

Oh, on-topic: Get a CR, etc.

Of course CR

Well I stopped paying attention to this thread cause I got my answer... then I saw it was 2 pages long. :P

 

Btw.. *ahem* I'm a female. Irl too. :P

I think everyone is disregarding Maul here.

OP kinda decided that it was gonna be an CLS or a CR.

 

Besides, maul isn't really practical for DPS. Which is what i think the OP is going for.

 

And after reading through the thread again, i rofl'ed like crazy.
