Noxx Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I've seen a lot of posts saying how amazing the Rapier is for Slayer and how the Rapier is superior to the Whip in any situation but i've never heard much about the Long Sword. I started doing a bit of Dungeoneering this week and managed to get the hang of it and i must say i enjoy it now. I have decided to try and get 85 or so during the next few weeks. 85 will only give me enough points/tokens for one Chaotic Weapon and i am still lost as to which to choose. I know everyone says the Rapier is the best seeing as it hits at the same speed as a whip but the Long Sword has an even larger Str Bonus at a slightly slower speed making it almost like a one handed Godsword.My uses for it, like i've said, will mostely be Graardor, K'ril and DK's with the possibility of Zil here and there.I might still have about 2m Exp left till 99 Slayer then so whichever weapon i get might replace my whip. Thing is i don't want people to tell me Rapier is the best just because they see the word Slayer in this post. If a Long Sword is better for Boss Hunting but sucks for Slayer then i'd rather get the Long Sword and just stick at my whip for a while for Slaying. And also i guess eventually i'll get more points/tokens. I enjoy DK's and Arma solo'ing very much. Would it be wise to make the CHaotic Bow my next purchase?

SoulWars Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Graardor: depends. If you have a divine/elysian, longsword is best for it. If not, rapier.Dagannoth kings (i.e. supreme): Rapier (this way, it's also easier to soul split)Frost dragons: rapierK'ril: rapier, I think (low def and weak to stab)Zil: Not sure. It's weak to stab, though (according to the RSW), but many people recommend the maul Overall, I think you should choose the rapier :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noxx Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 We always used Rune Def + Whip for Sara in our Trios. This made us virtually uncrashable by any other Trio/4Man. Of course we used Claws/Ags for specs though. We all has Turmoil but i was usually the only one with Ext/Ovl. So i assume this will make a Rapier good there too.
