I stood side by side with another 125 last night at abbies, he had bordos and godsword (not sure which one) and I had my typical full dragon with rune defender and whip with blackmask. With few exceptions, I dropped my abby faster then he did. He did make some impressive hits.......but the whip is much more consistent. That occasional 50-60 hit looked nice, and sometimes he dropped his freaky fast.....but over all, the whip was faster. Reminds me of DH at <10 hp...ya I hit sometimes with an impressive 80-90....but the never ending zeros dont make for an efficient weapon. No I didnt do an item to item comparison myself as I dont have a godsword, but like most things in RS, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY over rated. Whip would be better if it was able to train strength. No, I am not a strength junkie but it is something that has to be taken into consideration. I honestly want to see a saradomin sword vs. godsword vs. dragon scimitar comparison.
