Umega Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 For the Runescapes' homepage poll "What is the most important thing you look for in a new weapon?" Most people say they look for more strength in a weapon, which of course is understandable. Then in second place people want more accuracy for a weapon, why is that? I would of thought that speed would come quite close to strength, but speed only comes in 3rd place. The speed and strength of the weapon is important in the wilderness and other pvp games. But I guess accuracy would become quite important in duels. I was quite surprised about the outcome of this poll. No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug.

cardovilian Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Not much point striking something 5 times a second if every strike bounces off.

CampbellMC Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 well we just got a new str weapon... d2h (woo what a sucess :P) but whip is forever, mid str, fast and accurate. I think people are basically looking for another whip :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodder Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Some how it doesnt surprise me, more hits you can do, people will always have enough power. More accurate hits, more damage overtime.' My 2 cents Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choosing one over the other is suicide, because items like the dragon dagger shows how much speed can be used and items like the greataxe show how much power and accuracy can affect how good the item is. Pointless discussion imo. Its been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In pking you need speed and str though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsanity Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Any player who has ever fought at higher levels in runescape knows that the more accurate the weapon, the more damage you can do any hour, thus increasing the exp you can acheive hourly. That's why I laugh at those strength-pure idiots who think that just because they can hit high, that they are better fighters or something. I have owned too many "strength" pures with my EQUAL stats that's it isn't even funny anymore. |2,300+ Total|138 Combat|12 Lvl 99 Skills|99 Slayer| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NukeMarine Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Remember these numbers 3000 - Whip, Dagger (25 spm) 2400 - Sword, Spear, Mace (20 spm) 1800 - Halberd, Great Axe, 2h Swords (15 spm) Find the number by your weapon of choice, multiply by your max damage with that weapon (using all your bonuses, potions and prayers you NORMALLY train with). That will be you PEAK AVERAGE Experience gain per hour. Do not expect to get higher. What lowers your average is non-attack times (eating, respawns, bank runs, prayer recharge, etc.) and low attack chances (a level 100 is almost 100% against experiments, but 60% against Green Dragons).

Risen_The Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I look for accuracy too, as well as speed. But then again, that would make a same weapon as Dragon Dagger. http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=525348 - My Pking Gallery I'M BACK FOR SUMMER BABY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazardmaster Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Alot of my clan friends got higher attack then strength; they prefer consistency. Maybe cause they jsut train accurate with whip :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyco Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 They should have just had an option "All of the above" I want a weapon to be Strong, Fast, Accurate and to look awesome. The speacial is just a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAHK Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Speed and strength for training (low def opponents FTW!) Accuracy and strength for pking (only because you need to KO before escape) Accuracy and speed for dueling (you have all the time you need to accumulate the damage) My opinion ^^^ Fact: A weapon needs to be twice as accurate and twice as strong than a weapon that is twice as fast to generate the same xp per hour PROVIDED that you are not splashing zeros with the fast weapon. I would much rather have a weapon that hits once a minute but DOES DAMAGE than a weapon that hits once a second that hits perfect goose eggs as would anyone. :wink: PM me in game to use some skills of mine (glories/potions) free or to ask a question.Fire Cape - 04/29/06 Lvl 104RAHK's Pro PC Gear and Guide(clickable) Tired of hack and slash?
