johny Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 i dont think it is that good because it takes like 3-5 seconds to do 1 hit and if u hit a 0 then ur screwed because if the other guy is using a whip, which is more accurate and quicker, then he could have hit like 2 or 3 20's before u can hit again.

Adventurer Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Whip's only 1.5 times faster, and a heck of a lot less accurate, johny.

Jordanweb Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Whip's only 1.5 times faster, and a heck of a lot less accurate, johny. For low-medium level monsters it doesn't matter, gs's accuracy only makes up for it's slow speed on monsters with very high defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordanweb Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 SGS= Guthan's on crack. Not really... You can only do 1 special every 2.5 minutes and it still has a chance to fail. Just say with the SGS special you get lucky, hit 40 and restore 20hp, in the time you spent waiting for the special you could have easily restored more than 10x that with guthans.

The Dark Lord Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I've sold my Zamorak godsword and bought full Bandos (boots + chest plate + tassets), Zamorak Spear, Whip, Obsidian Shield, and a Berserker Ring. I seem to still do well with that combination. Although I definitely say the godsword is an amazing weapon. It's very fun, but it's not worth what it is right now. If you have money and aren't afraid of price drops, get one. If you barely have enough and don't like price drops, wait. The Bandos armor allows me to role play as a goddess. Giggles.

qeltar Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Evaluating the GS and comparing it to weapons like the whip is not as simple as saying one is X% faster and the other hits Y% harder. It really depends on a lot of different factors: PvP or PvM, defence levels, whether prayer is a factor, the type of GS and more. In terms of comparing GS types.. here too it all depends. For example, in the dueling tournament testing I did, I often fought in tournaments with no food or potions and no healing between rounds. Here, the SGS is EASILY the best weapon in the game. OTOH, if food and healing are enabled, a different GS might be better, or even just using your specs with a DDS. The Armadyl is worse than the Sara in most cases for a simple reason: the Armadyl gives a 25% bonus to damage but the Sara gives a *50%* bonus in healing. That's double the HP. Yes, the Armadyl can theoretically increase your chances of getting a fast KO, but it's also just as likely that you hit dreck with it, as I usually do. The Sara also has a "guaranteed minimum" as long as you don't hit 0, which the Armadyl lacks. The Bandos is also worth mentioning; if you get a good hit it can end a duel.

sonerohi Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Can you still do the quick attacks with the maul? (3 specs in half a second) thats a granite maul, not a obby maul because obviously an obby maul popping up in lettering in the video is code for granite maul.

qeltar Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 BTW I just looked over that video. Anyone who thinks it proves anything is far too easily convinced.

fat_klutz Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 The results were close but the GS owned those last 3 and in the first battle the guy with the maul had like 15hp left. So I mean.... maul guy kinda lucked out. If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature. ^^^At least I'm not the only crazy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onedaysoon Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Well it sure is overrated but i do know why :XD: [1.] Because you may only use range or mage in the Armadyl section of the godwars dunegon it may be alot harder to get the hilt drops. [2.] It has the most powerful/high hitting special there is of the four godswords, so ofcourse people will like it for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessy87 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I prefer my Zammy gs, tbh. I am a CW addict, and it owns there. that and bandos spec now that spec recharges when u die. bandos and zammy would be the best 2 for CW if you were trying to recover the flag from the other team. go their, do bandos spec, most likely ull die, do another bandos, run back with zammy. it would be great.

Lugia_Lvl138 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 No one mentioned a place where the AGS truely shines. World 6 Bandos. Spec haxing 65+s can insure that you get the kill. I'm not saying this justifies the 100m+ price, I don't have the AGS myself. I'm just saying that this is one advantage AGS has over the other 3. 4x Phat owner: Blue, Green, 2x Purple 3100+ GWD bosses soloed.Solo GWD Drops:5 Bandos Plates, 4 Bandos Boots, 3 Bandos Hilts, 2 Arma Helms, Arma Skirt, Arma Plate, 3 Arma Hilts, 4 Zammy Spears, Steam Staff, 15 Sara Swords, 6 Sara Hilts, 29 Shards.
