MaetNameno Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I mean as looking at stats the Dragon Longsword is better. But going through training when I first started playing RS scimitars were always the way to go. I do not know why I never realized they were better. But what is everyone else's opinion on the matter... Scimitar or Longsword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K4ylan Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Scimitar, and it's been tested over and over. Although longsword spec is arguably better (you should be using another weapon entirely for specs anyway). ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaetNameno Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Well I'm using it to train strength so I was debating which one to pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homer205 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 For strength, use a scimitar if those are your only two options. Note that a saradomin sword or korasis would be better though (and obviously a rapier, but I know you aren't close to requirements for that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Saradomin Sword). And yeah dungeoneering isn't exactly my opinion of fun (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyPunchers Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 If I remember correctly, the Dragon Scimitar with a Dragon Defender is better exp per hour than the Saradomin Sword. :) Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide.

How long would you say it took you to get one? Not very long at all. 2 hours at most, and the defender is a worthwhile investment as it's arguably the best equipment for the shield slot in the game. :) Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide.

I'm kinda clueless about it to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyPunchers Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 This link should answer all your questions: Warrior's Guild You should look into the "Animation Room" option of getting Tokens as that was the easiest, atleast in my own opinion. :) Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide.

Hedgehog Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Against 200 defense rating, you'll deal 16.07 damage per tick with a dragon scim, but only 13.46 with a dragon long. Against 100 defense rating, this increases to 22.78 and 18.93 respectively. With potions and 15% att and str prayers, this increases even more to 32.41 and 25.97. Scim is clearly a lot better.

Quyneax Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 There is a very simple reason why the scimitar is better than the longsword, and that is that it attacks more often. After your scimitar hits (takes .6 seconds for all weapons) there is a 1.8 second cooldown. After a longsword hit there is a 2.4 second cooldown. You'll get 5 scimitar hits for every 4 longsword hits. Longswords don't hit even close to 25% higher than scimitars.
