Korasi's sword vs vine whip

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure myself, but a great way to test weapon damage is at the Combat Academy. Just set up a dummy and keep using slice until you get a crit (ability crits are just the max hit). Mark down the damage, then switch weapons and compare their max hits.

 

While this does show you which has higher damage, you have to remember that accuracy is very important too. Usually higher damage weapons will also have higher accuracy (because they're higher level items in general) but there are a few anomalies in which this isn't the case. For example, Elite Enhanced Excalibur has higher DPS than level 80 offhands, but only about 60% the accuracy (thankfully offhand accuracy doesn't matter much unless you're autoattacking).

Or look at the stats.

Normalising Korasi's sword so that it has the same speed as Vine whip yields

 

833 / 3 * 2.4 gives 666.4 damage when normalised to fasest speed, comparing that to vine whip of 720, thats about 8% better, not counting the Crit bonus.

 

So in terms of raw dps (IE completely neglecting accuracy), Vine Whip is much better than Korasi's sword. Taking accuracy into account (2384 VS 1695), the difference becomes even larger.

Because:

 

1. Lack of a t75 off hand (EE is only t72), making it inferior to the easily accessible Saradomin sword or Bandos Godsword (Vine whip needs a t75 off hand to be on par with them).

 

2. The existence of Chaotic weapons and especially Drygore weapons, both of which are vastly superior to Vine whip. To add salt upon wound, Drygores are buyable and tradeable.

 

3. With exception of Chaotic weapons, none of the above mentioned requires anything besides the combat stats required to wield them
