While dragon longsword is more powerful and hits higher than the dragon scimitar, the dragon scimitar is faster. Tests have been done in which dragon scimitar experience gained is more than dragon longsword, because of the speed.
However, the dragon longsword's special attack is arguably better.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on your stats. I would personally suggest using the granite maul for special attacks, then switching to the longsword with a shield/defender.

The rune longsword is slower, but has a higher max hit by 1, but the rune scimitar is faster but has some unnecessary bonuses and is expensive, so the rune longsword is best.

Runescape is a dragon spear better than a rune scimitar?
depends dragon spear is ok, the special is terrible and its kinda slow but more powerful then the rune scimitar. The scimitar is quicker. If you have 60 attack infering you can use both I recommend you do Lost City cause its quick and easy. Then buy a dragon longsword cause its very strong, better than spear and its fast and has a good special. If you are better around level 70 I would say do monkey madness its very hard and I just did it so you can buy a dragon scimitar, which is VERY powerful and has a GREAT special and faster than longsword. If you want to do any of these quests Sals relm of runescape gives great guides.
In runescape which is a better weapon a sword or a scimitar?
It really depends..... i THINK a two-hander is better than a scimmy but other than that i thnk scimmy is better. ------------------------------------------------- Scimitars Are more popular, but people don't really know why. they are claimed that they are "fast", but in fact they are just as fast as a sword. If you get in a situation with a scimitar against a slash-resistant monster, You're out of luck. A sword could Stab easily, and slash, both with almost equal bonuses. Scimitars have a very weak stab bonus. Longswords, on the other hand, are only a hair slower than The Scimitar, but provide a moderate strength bonus over the Scimitar. Here is an example : Dragon Longsword: +58 Stab, +68 Slash, +71 Strength. Speed - 5 Dragon Scimitar: +8 Stab, +67 Slash, +66 Strength. Speed - 6 As you can see, With The Dragon Longsword you sacrifice ONE speed for 50 stab, 1 slash, and 5 strength. But it's up to you to decide. Here's another chart comparing the Sword, Longsword and scimitar: Rune Sword: +38 Stab, +26 Slash, +39 Strength. Speed - 6 Rune Longsword:+38 Stab, +47 Slash, +49 Strength. Speed - 5 Rune Scimitar: +7 Stab, +45 Slash, +44 Strength. Speed - 6 This is up to you to decide. Scimitars are the more popular choice because of its DPS or Damage Per Second. For STRENGTH training methods Scimtars are generally better because of the use of DDS or the Dragon Dagger with a sweet 4 special (8 hits max) only using 25% of the special bar. Dragon Longsword on the other hand requires an easier quest done of course called Lost City, which also unlocks the ability to weild Dragon Longsword and Dragon Dagger. Dragon Scimitar requires a quest called Monkey Madness. Most if not all 60 attack pures will use Dragon Scimitar because of speed. +66 str bonus or +72 str bonus isn't really much of a loss. The Dragon 2H Sword on the other hand does not require a quest to complete but is a much more expensive weapon. Dragon Scimitar and Dragon Longsword average about 100-120k generally. Dragon 2H can average 1M plus and it is slower. Despite the convienance of not having to complete a quest to weild the Dragon 2H Sword with a str bonus of +93 it is more of a comboing weapon used by pures. Not really a main weapon to train and or PK with. I highly recommend getting Dragon Scimitar and Dragon Dagger instead of a Dragon Longsword or a Dragon 2H Sword. The Rune Scimitar is the same way it is still faster than the Longsword or Shortsword. If you are a F2P or Free To Play PKER or a Player I recommend the Rune Scimitar. Rune 2H Sword having a nice +70 Strength bonus is a comboing weapon used by Range 2H pures. Rune 2H is not really a main weapon. If your also looking for great combo weapons, pick from these: Granite Maul, Rune 2H Sword, Dragon 2H Sword, Obby Maul (Tzhaar-Ket-Om with Berserker Necklace), Barrellchest Anchor.
