dark lord 99 here, the darkest lord in all of runescape
loving all the weapon and armour changes, especially the mace, warhammer, and spear changes
my question is, where do longswords stand? at the moment they're slow, and barely more accurate than a scimitar
Why are they so neglected?
Sitting at 5 T With only +2 attack bonus and an extra max hit to their name, why can't they find a better niche?
Right now there is never a reason to use a dragon (or any, for that matter)longsword over a scimitar, despite it being one of the most iconic weapons in the game.
I'm sure lots of players remember it being their first dragon weapon.
That is, until you unlock the Dragon Scimitar and never touch it again. This is the sad reality for this weapon.
you could even argue stab attacks were one of its strong points, but the dragon shortsword has taken that role (and does better DPS, too, simply because it's faster)
You would think that it would have some redeeming qualities, but it really doesn't.
Isn't there a way to bring it back to a viable state? Whether it's making it a slower, more accurate weapon, or more versatile(maybe making the stab option more viable, letting you stab on aggressive, ETC
There has to be SOMETHING
Please don't update all the other weapons and leave my favourite one in the dust it's been for over 15 years I just want a viable longsword that does SOMETHING well for itself
My other question goes to daggers, despite their nature as small weapons, they don't attack any faster than a scimitar or shortsword.
Since they are innaccurate, weak, they have no forthcoming bonus to using one
Surely they be made into a slightly better weapon vs targets vs low melee defence.
I thought that making them a tick faster, but when I think of the dragon dagger being a tick faster, that sounds rather terrifying. But, this could probably be solved by making the special attack remain at the current 4 ticks it is when used
