4th April 2005 - Dragon Scimitar Change

The Dragon Scimitar's special attack has been changed. Unfortunately, the original special attack wasn't working properly and it was impossible to rectify the problem.
Instead we have changed the attack so that it now uses slightly more special attack energy, 55% to be exact, and prevents your opponent from using protection prayers for 5 seconds.

Please note that the Kalphite Queen is immune to the special attack, and that it does not affect the Protect Item prayer.

~Have fun, hello5000

I'd like it more if it weren't for that retarded little 5% they threw on there. Takes forever it seems between uses!

Also, used it in Castle wars on a guy using protect/melee, but it didn't work :?:

Jeff · **Posted:** April 6th, 2005, 8:28 pm

Yeah, I know, I hate that extra 5%..

I got hit by a scimi in a duel, and it says: "You have been injured and cannot use protection prayers." Not that I was praying.

the reason they changed it is because they saw that there was no use to the same sp attk as the long. otherwise it would get too menotinus and we would get bored of it. eventually go back to the cheaper dragon long. as for the extra 5% i think it is dumb too lol
