Chocobodude0 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Me and a friend of mine have been debating about this for quite a long time, so i wanna see what fellow Tip.It'ers have to say about it. My friend says scimitars are better than battleaxes since they are faster. I think that b-axes are better since they tend to hit higher numbers and give a better strength bonus (Not to mention that Dragon B-axe has better special than Dragon scimmy, IMO)... So, help us end it once and for all, which is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehild Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Scimmy. By far. The extra power of the axe doesn't make up for the speed of the scimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfhunterXZ Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Scimmy. And that special is good for some things, especially in CW when you're fighting someone who's using melee prayer, you knock it right out if you hit em xD Battle axes are too slow. Scimmy is faster, thus meaning if you can hit fairly high, you'll probably hit higher numbers in x amount of hits than the b axe does in that same amount of time.

divinity88 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 i've always been for the b-axe. it hits hard, and i don't mind that its slow...the damage makes up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgrazotis Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 i used to be b-axe now scimmy its just faster and better thanks to mitsubishi64 who made this sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0nkin Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Scimitar by far is much better and useful. Battle axes are really slow and don't really hit much more than the scimitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolgool Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I prefer the long over both, just because of its impressive special. My favorite combo is Battle spec+Attack pot+scim. Scim>Battle because Speed>Power The code in my sig should say 1032 not 0132. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeroh Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 yep. go for the scimmy. the battleaxe hits high, but for the rune battleaxe (im f2p), it has really low accuracy. the r2h has good accuracy and really high strength. but i still like the scimmy. :thumbsup: Retired from runescape. I will be on every now and then though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbluer Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Scimmy, cheaper, faster, cheaper, easier to get, cheaper, and did I mention cheaper? Sorry for being so annoying, but scimmy= 30k, BAxe = approx. 50k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyroman26 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 i'd go for the scimmy and rune b axe is 40-45k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmay929 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Scim. It's not too much of a damage difference, and it's a lot quicker. 122 Combat : 99 Hits : 99 Attack : 99 Strength97/99 Defence : 99 Fletching : 99 Woodcutting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirror Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 With rune, I would pick the scimmy. But now that I have been testing the D battle axe, I enjoy it. A reflection is just a distorted reality held by glass and your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no_username4 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Wow, I always used the battle axe. The battle axe can smash attack, which is a bonus against plates, which is what people generally wear(in pvp anyway). I kinda figured that would make a difference.

Kill_Life Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Well, Scimmy I think. The speed is better then the power. Atleast in f2p. The special of the Battleaxe is quite good aswell.

amazizing333 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 yep. go for the scimmy. the battleaxe hits high, but for the rune battleaxe (im f2p), it has really low accuracy. the r2h has good accuracy and really high strength. but i still like the scimmy. :thumbsup: accuracy doesn't depend on the weapon, but on ur attack lvls. i used to like the skimmy, for its speed, but then i got stronger, and went for a little bit of PKing, so got a battle ax. it all depends on wat u wanta kill. goin PKing, use battle ax, going to kill some beasties, scimmy. i currently have 1 of each, rune, WOOT! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
