      IRC Nickname: Group: Banned Posts: 2 Member No.: 1405 Joined: October 26, 2008 Total Events Attended: 0    | Since RS2 I've always used a scim over a longsword, because as far as I know it's the faster melee weapon. Recently, I've seen a lot of clans using Rune longs instead, and I want to know why. Is it just price related (The clan in question was in a PKRI) or is a Rune long generally better? Just looking for opinions, thanks. --------------------   |

However they are slower. The main reason though is because they're cheaper. I could explain the logic of using a scim over a longsword but it'd take too long and I cba. --------------------  |

Rune Longsword - When it actually hits, it hits good. Not very expensive either. Personally, I changed from scimitars to longswords to save money, but I got no kills at all. I switched to a rune scimitar again, and the kills started rolling in. --------------------    |
Rune Scim vs Rune Long?
