Let me elaborate on that "not much better than the whip" part. The Godsword has a hefty +132 strength and slash bonus. The whip has a +82 strength and slash bonus. That's pretty hefty too. Why? The Godsword has a number to represent its speed, assigned by Jagex itself, which is four. The whip has a speed of 6. now, for some math: 82/132 = .621212121 6/4 = 1.5 So that's saying the whip is about 2/3 of the Godsword's strength, but 1.5 times the speed. The inverse of 1.5 is approximately 2/3. That means the whip is almost as strong as the Godsword (without specs) - but we're forgetting that the whip is a 1-handed weapon, which means you can wield a defender, or a charged dragonfire shield. I'll say you wield a defender, because it adds slash accuracy and not much defence. The godsword's point is to kill your enemy quickly, so it doesn't have defence. The whip for this comparison should be roughly the same way. With the new numbers, it goes like this: 87/132 = .6590909090909 6/4 = 1.5 Now that's even closer to 2/3. With the dragonfire shield, which adds +2 more strength, it comes out to MORE than 2/3. Which would, in that case, make the whip more effective. Of course, this is all without the godsword's insane specs. That's the only thing is has over the whip. Otherwise, mathematically, it is only as strong as the whip. In brute strength (raw str bonus) it IS the most powerful weapon so far. But who's to say a weapon with...oh...+120 str comes along? It will probably be faster. Maybe not 1-handed. Or maybe it will be - that would be even better. Sorry about the long post; I was bored.
