Runescape - Weapon - Abyssal vine whip

"The abyssal vine whip is an abyssal whip with a whip vine attached to it. It requires 85 Attack and 80 Slayer to wield or to create."

The vine whip has been criticized in every way since the release of it. It was firstly frowned upon as it only gives a +2 strength bonus from the original Abyssal Whip. Then it was criticized for costing over 3 million. However, looking past the criticism, the vine whip seems to be a lot more accurate and powerful than the original whip.

In the recent combat beta, the vine whip has been greatly improved. Personally it is one of my most Favorited weapons in the current game. Simply because it has the strength and accuracy that almost matches Chaotic weapons and does not degrade. Not to mention that the vine whip currently has a special attack which seems very useful in situations where your opponent is frozen, as that is when the special is most at use and can hit up to 150!

Overall I would rate the Abyssal vine whip a 7/10. I have only rated it a 7 because it's special attack is unique to any other in the game. However it can be evaded if your opponent moves out the way of it and is quite rare that it hits above 130's. Also the vine whip is expensive, even for a weapon of such strength and accuracy, it does not meet it's price as the whip is still not as overpowered as the other weapons around it's level.
