Talk:Korasi's sword

I have a slight suspicion that Korasi's sword is the Valluta... 22:40, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh! I hadn't thought of that. Interesting theory. I'm feeling that Professor Melville is the "Wizard" that's helping the Kinshra. 22:42, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

Stats
The stats were here, but they seem to have been lost too the "barrage" of edits, put them back please? :3 Super adm 15:31, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

Stats Bonus Against Pest
Any speculation if the sword has a hidden bonus when used with complete void or elite void? 18:30, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

high 900's? really? (letspoint)


 * I've seen people say that it hits 50% extra on pest creatures with full void. I'll be getting the elite set now and I'll test and see whether there is a noticeable increase in damage and reply back here 19:58, October 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I've tried both sets and it seems that all the talk of hitting massive amounts is just talk. It's similar to the Dragon Scimitar in stats and it's a good stab weapon for those without chaotic weapons and it seems that that's the sum of it. 20:48, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was hoping it would... It doesn't seem to be any better than the Dragon Scimitar/Longsword-ish area. Xhanort7 12:47, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

Special Attack
I tested the sword against Gargoyle's while I had them on a Slayer task and with the special attack, I rarely hit under 400 points of damage. -- 00:22, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Could someone get a recording of the weapon special hitting multiple enemies?--Cosmic Rune.PNG Peckham33  Talk Chaos Rune.PNG 01:17, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Only one is needed to demonstrate the effect of the special. 02:51, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have this feeling that its going to be called "chain lightning" or something, given its effect :P 72.199.119.247 08:00, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Here's an image for the special hitting multiple enemies, if anyone wants to add this. RedWingz 21:23, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Multi-hitting large NPCs
Is it possible to hit large NPCs which, need a 2x2 or larger area, due to the chain lightning effect. Theoretically it can hit one square of the NPC and jump to another square ot that NPC and finnally hit a 3rd square of this NPC. So, has anyone tested this yet? 13:55, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

Wielding Picture...?
The picture of a player wielding the sword has the old facial style. Unless I am missing something, how is that even possible? Combat newb 15:06, October 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Korasi's sword is released before the facial update, at the same time as the first void quest. 15:31, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a picture of a player wielding Korasi's sword.

 * the sword weighs 27 kg? ouch, that will slow a player down(please tell me that guy was packing alot of armor in his inv)

Someone should add
That although Korasi's sword has much higher requirements (78 Atk/Str rather than 60 Atk) than the dragon longsword, its stats are actually slightly worse. However, it hits slightly faster (the same speed as a dagger).


 * I'm not sure this is relevant. High speed weapons having lower stats than slow weapons isn't really an indication of anything.Big Bouffant 16:18, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

special attack offical info
from: http://www.runescape.com/kbase/guid/special_attacks just above pvp wepons start.

Korasi's sword Disrupt In singleway combat, this attack will hit one opponent for anything between 50-150% of your max hit. In multiway combat, this attack hits three opponents once each, the damage caused halving with each subsequent hit.-- Peckham33  Talk  17:30, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

Protect over chaotic weapons?
Does anyone knows if this sword protects over chaotic rapier and other chaotic weapons? Because it would be beast if it doesn't.

It does protect over chaotic weapons as its alchemy Value is 150k

Tormented demons?
Can someone actually see if when the spec is used in a tormented demon, the TD prays mage or melee?
 * just seeing if it hits past protect from melee would probably be good enough.(and please sign your posts)--Cosmic Rune.PNG Peckham33  Talk Chaos Rune.PNG 23:37, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * yes i tried it.....if u hit anything higher than 320 it will change to protect magic....thought not sure if it hit throu melee protect :P

Trivia
In the Trivia it states "Due to its Strength bonus, this sword is now the strongest non-Dungeoneering one-handed stab weapon, beating the previous holder of the title, the leaf-bladed sword, by 20 points."...yet the Dragon Longsword is 1 handed with stab with 1 more strength... So I don't think that trivia is accurate. Bio 19:29, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * The Dragon Longsword has a lower stab attack bonus, however. --Klay king61 03:19, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * The korasi sword is 7 lower stab attack bonus then the leafblade. 16:38, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * The Korasi Sword is faster than the Dragon Longsword and stronger than the Leaf-Bladed Sword. I think it's the title is well-given. Notoriousthief 20:00, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Korasi's sword is slash/slash/stab/slash, the same as the dragon longsword. Any criterion you use to discount the longsword disqualifies Korasi's from the discussion as well, which is kind of pointless, since this discussion is about Korasi's in the first place. -- 22:04, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with User:Notoriousthief, plus in addition that the special attack is better. I 1 20 13:14, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not really an issue that requires judgment. "Strongest, one-handed stab weapon:" the longsword is one-handed, has a stab attack, and is stronger than any other non-DG, one-handed, stab weapons. Since the longsword also has a special attack, you can't even say Korasi's is the "strongest, one-handed stab weapon with a special attack." What you can say objectively about Korasi's is that it's stronger than a scimitar and more accurate than a scimitar at slash, while being as fast as a scimitar, but that's a different topic. -- 20:18, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * The entire comparison seems pointless to me. None of us actually know the game mechanics underlying the relationship between weapon stats, enemy defenses and the resulting average damage per set amount of time. With that in mind, what exactly does "best stab weapon" even mean? Does it mean "the weapon capable of dealing the most damage to an enemy weak against stab attacks"..? The holder of that title might be different depending on what all the defenses of the enemy are and on the attack level of the player. Anything more precise than "This weapon is a powerful stab weapon with a very good special attack" is just plain misleading. Big Bouffant 21:09, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's sort of for those reasons that I think it's misleading to say one weapon is "better" than another. Usually the best you can say is that one weapon is "preferred" over another for some given purpose. There are enough variables between weapons and opponents that different weapons would be preferred in different situations. However, for this discussion, I think we can compare apples to apples, but it's important to maintain focus. Korasi's sword has the general characteristics of a longsword, but it's faster, more accurate, and weaker than a dragon longsword. Also, although Korasi's beats the leaf-bladed sword for strength, the leaf-bladed sword still beats Korasi's for stab accuracy. If we stop there and say nothing more, we're still dealing with only facts, not conjecture or opinion. -- 22:39, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not to confuse matters further, but the Staff of light is a one-handed weapon with a stab attack and beats the Dragon longsword by +1 for strength, bumping Korasi's to third place. -- 23:37, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Special Attack
I have noticed that it is entirely possible for me to hit less that 50% of my max hit with the special, at least in the duel arena. I have hit many times under 100 damage, when my max is about 400. Is the special different against players? Or is the duel arena somehow multicombat even though you can only attack the one you challenged? 17:39, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Nerf
99% sure it got nerfed right before i got it...

as of today i hit a 3-1 with it, and my max hit (based on calc) is 333

half my hits have been below 150, and alot of them dont chain (probably because they target allies instead of enemies)

people can still argue over the max, but the 50% minimum got knocked down 67.142.130.20 06:40, November 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * You were probably in a multicombat area, where the 50% minimum does not apply. -- 07:01, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah i was in multi, diddn't know that the damage changed so drastically. Is the 50% minimum still unapplicable if the spec only hits one person in multi? (with nobody else nearby?) 170.211.80.125 20:16, November 12, 2010 (UTC) (same person, different comp) Example:
 * The special hits somewhere between 50% to 150% of your max hit even in multicombat areas. If other monster are around, the hit on the second is half of the first monster's hit. And if 3 are there, you hit 50% to 150% of your max hit on the first, half the hit you did onto the first onto the second, and half the hit you did onto the second onto the third.
