Shashka vs. Elite Scimitar

[CtrlAltDe1337]

Both are good weapons, I just don't like the lack of speed on the shashka.

[Kenji]

Thrust on horseback is important, so I'd say Shashka.
Off Topic:
Both are not straight swords, so they will never be in my inventory.

IMO shashka is slow. If you want to go for a slow weapon -> Military cleaver. At least, it hurt. I owned a MW one.

[Bobthehero]

The elite scimmy is faster, deals more damage and because of the curve hits earlier than you think. The stab? The only onehander worth stabbing with is the Long Espada, but even than it's worthless.

Will all due respect, go to hell and stay there

Cleaver is too short for a cav weapon, speed doesnt matter that much either, so the Shashka is definitively the best choice.

Shashka. I love it. The stab isn't horrible, and contrary to what some may think, stab on horseback is a phenominal way to kill shit. It's best for killing other cav, and you end up using it like a really short lance.

Stab isn't necessary, but it REALLY helps when doing the 1h cav shit.

It's also the cheapest sword that's above 100 length (I could be wrong). Upkeep ain't a problem with it, thats for sure.

The disadvantage is its slowness. Not a problem when on horseback, but when fighting on foot it is. You can try to compensate by using your range advantage, though.

I'd choose Shashka, but I already bought the Elite Scimitar because I couldn't wait for answers. :P

It was not even ten minutes! Hahaha

The arabian straight sword is exactly 100 length and is totally radical for a cheap weapon to use when you feel like being poor.

The practice sword is also lol 101 length lol.

Maybe you should come play in NA and see myself and Cyranule stabbing the shit out of ppl then

Well yeah, NA is full of strength build people who can't block or use footwork.

I'm probably already there, care to join me?

In the end go for looks instead of stats, I prefer the elite scimi or arabian cav for looks and stats, but go with what you want yourself mate.

Tbh, I go to EU and can't ever stop laughing at the footwork people do. The one thing people in NA do correctly is step the right way most of the time. EU is fun to watch footwork in duel server especially ahah


on topic, elite scimmy is better, but shashka is cooler with more style points and an underrated stab. I'd go with shashka because this is a dress up game.

The Shaska scabbard is the ugliest thing currently known to man.

true story, it is hilarious.

[Leshma]

Looks like kitchen knife imho.

Btw, checking the marketplace is a good way of finding out how good a weapon is. (never 100% good though)
Everyone is dumping their MW Shashkas for very low prices, elite scimi on the other hand is very popular and high in demand.
