Dual wielding : Rapier or scimitar. Looking for opinions.

[Mister B]

Hey there people ,

On my current build ill be taken two weapons to dual wield as secondary weapons .

Im thinking of taking eather dual rapier or dual scimitar ((i have a dex build enhanced whit some hexing utility.))

I wonder what your opinions are about this , since ill be trying to pvp whit it later on. If anybody has sugestions or tips . Or anything realy please feel free to share whit me.

Thank you already ^^

Why not mix both?

Ugh dont roll akimbo rapiers or you'll be "one of those" players. Roll poke roll poke. So exciting.

I've actually been planning on making a rapier + parrying dagger build named after one of the Muskateers for kicks, but yeah. And to be fair, scimitars aren't much better, especially the monestary sword or warped swords. Something about their move sets and latency just combine for truly rediculous blows when I've gone against them with a slower weapon.

In short, why not try both of them out a bit and see what you prefer? I've got a particular love of rapiers as an in real life weapon, so I'm biased towards them here.

tried both and I can say that scimitars are much more fun. feels like using a twinblade, somehow. the range is quite small, though..

Rapiers are kinda overused and poke-poke moveset is boring.
One of my friends enjoys Red Rust Scimitar a lot. Check it out.

I would recommend going scimmys. I have cosplay char with rapiers and other with scimmys and scimmys are so much more fun.

Scimitars would fit my character better ... since my main weapon will be a curved greatsword already. When im talking about looks ofcourse aha ... and true what i read here i have been known to get angry at people that poked me to death when playing on my greathammer build >.> but im a bit worried because i heard the scimitar has short range so ... just wana make sure i have the right choise for pvp

Use red iron scimitars, they look cool and the range is not problem if you know the spacing and when to attack.

[Mister B]

True but seeing it scales more whit strenght then dex i doubt they would be verry handy in what im currently using. Well i guesse somewhat since i have the strenght of my curved greatsword. But the weight would still be a little issue. So might keep things to regular scimitars for now then. Might switch to red iron ones later down the line

Seeing as you're mixing it up with hexes, how about trying out the melu scimitar? It's pretty much useless unless infused, true, but you'll probably do that anyway, and it has the same moveset and kinda the same look as red rust.

Manikin Sabres, if you don't mind farming for them.

Rapiers are good powerstanced, Scimitar is better two handed.

Dual rapiers (or espada ropera) with ring of blades, leo ring, maybe flynn ring, damn that's freaking op =)

[Mister B]
