which would rather be your weapon of choice, a longsword or a scimitar?
scimitar pros: fast, durable, light scimitar cons: dosn't hit hard, brittle longsword pros: hits harder longsword cons: slow, heavy. which would you choose as a weapon?

It's kinda right. If treated right, a scimitar is far more durable than a longsword, but it is brittle if you go on hammering with it on iron.

I don't think I would have caught that, but I would still prefer the Scimitar. Quickness can beat str.

A diamond is the hardest, most durable natural object in existence. Yet it is brittle. Think about it.

Use your brain a little friend. Do you know what brittle means?

Brittle]
Yes, diamonds are likely to break. It scores 10 on the Mohs Mineral Hardness scale because another diamond is the only mineral that can cut it or scratch it. But all it's hardness does nothing to it when it is subject to a counter-axial force along one of it's planes of breaking. You can break a stick-shaped diamond with your fingers, that's why they don't sell it like a stick. The form it is sold in as jewelry is cut. The cuts are all along planes of breaking. So next time, try and use your brain before telling people to use theirs.
