This lets scimitars attack 1 tick (about 0.6 seconds) faster. However, scimitars have an attack speed of 6 while longswords have an attack speed of 5. The scimitar and longsword are very similar weapons as they are both slash weapons and have nearly the same attack bonus for slash. Overall, it is recommended to get a scimitar over a longsword whenever possible. The scimitar is superior in virtually every PVM and non-special attack PVP situation, even when accounting for the impact of particular attack style weaknesses inherent with specific armor and NPC bonuses. For all longswords below dragon, and when comparing regular (non-special attack) hits between longswords and scimitars, the scimitar deals superior DPS than the longsword. Conversely, the dragon scimitar has a unique special attack (the temporary removal/blockage of opponent's use of damage protection prayers) that can be notably more effective than the dragon longsword special attack when used in a multitude of PVP scenarios. While the dragon longsword in particular could potentially deal a higher damage combination than its scimitar counterpart (both in terms of a maximum single hit, and when used alongside a specific combination of weapons in which the dragon longsword special attack is utilized), in most cases the scimitar is substantially more effective in PvP combat. Longswords have slightly higher strength bonuses, which gives them higher possible maximum hits. In short, scimitars deal more DPS (damage per second) against most monsters than longswords, and are better suited for PvM and training melee stats.
