Is it worth using two handed weapons?

[flemingluiz]

They do alot of damage but im think if it is worth using 2handed of shield and one handed for melee. One handed is faster tho.

not really 1 handed weapons most of the time have higher dps anyway because you get more hits.
2 Handed weapons are mostly just used for there special attack if they have a good use like the bandos godword ( that lowers the defence the higher the special hits) before you get a dragon warhammer.....

Only few are viable outside of their special attack, like Saradomin sword(not godsword), Abyssal Bludgeon, Scythe of Vitur(for big enemies), Barrows for their set effects and maybe like 2-3 that i totally forget they exist, cause they are like for one enemy or boss... or something.

scimitar. best weapon
even though, a 2h does hit higher.
one handed is faster, more accurate

You mentioned in another thread that you're new. If you're looking for a melee weapon of choice, the scimitars are known for having the highest DPS (and thus the fastest melee XP rate) in F2P. Two-handed weapons in F2P are mostly only used in PvP to finish players off using a strike with potentially very high damage

In members', the situation gets more complicated, and I won't get into it here


EDIT: Just saw that other thread you made about "throwing weapons". I'm pretty sure all those are exclusive to members. Have you used a bond already? Because if so, maybe my advice isn't all that useful (or maybe you can just go for the brine saber instead of the rune scimitar if you have the money, then follow normal(?) members' melee progression)

Saradomin sword is basically 2 handed abyssal whip with same speed and dmg. It seem like a downside and absolete, considering you can use shield, defender or something else with whip for higher dmg, higher accuracy or higher defence.

Saradomin sword is just glorified 1 handed weapon that programmed to use ironically as 2 handed, which is kinda sad
It fails to be a high dmg burst 2h weapon and fails to compete with other 1 handed weapons due lack of second hand equipment slot

I wanted to say that saradomin sword is a budged crush weapon, but... i forgot Sarachnis cudgel exist... yea... we can scrap saradomin sword from being usefull, actually.
