Armadyl GS Overrated? :$

[@Dan3HitU]

Firstly, he uses the wrong style for the Godsword, you should always use Slash (top right).

 

Secondly, woot, my friend Hayley's song!

 

Finally, I paid 170M for my Godsword and it was worth every penny, I love it.

[leonid1023]

its not the ags overated its the obby maul underated.

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT:just got obby maul drop selling it for 50mil pm me to buy.

Off topic: That video needed some metal in the background. Maybe The Trooper would've been a better song.

 

 

 

On topic: The AGS isn't too overrated IMO, its got good stats and a good spec. Just the high cost is the bad part.

[Aquashock]

The simple answer is yes, it is overrated.

 

 

 

The Sara GS is better for nearly everything.. even dueling in many cases.

 

 

 

But who duels anymore :roll:

 

 

 

Honestly all of the godswords are overated, and not worth the money you pay for them. I've tired them out and honestly, I'd rather stick with a whip :x

[brunokiller]

You can't just say X is better then Y after only 4 duels. :roll:

 

That's like saying dust devils don't drop chains because someone killed a few hundred of them and didn't get a chain

[ReapMe]

i've 2 hitted my fair share of people with ags

 

i've owned all 4 godswords and it was the most enjoyable

 

 

 

sara is nice, but i don't wanna see healing, i wanna see 75+ damage KO's. same with about 99% of rs.

 

 

 

it is expensive but if you have the money, why not buy the funnest weapon in the game?

 

i don't find it overrated since it's the best weapon in the portion of the game i play

[BBC3]

fighter torsos are weak to crush/obby maul.

[qeltar]

 

sara is nice, but i don't wanna see healing, i wanna see 75+ damage KO's. same with about 99% of rs.

 

 

 

 

Yes, and that's why it is overrated. ;)

 

 

 

If you analyze the numbers, in a straight one-on-one duel without food, potions or prayer, the Sara GS will beat the Armadyl GS more often than the other way around, because it gives bigger % bonuses of HP.

not sure what you really mean by overrated, unless i'm getting the wrong definition. overrated to me means it is not as good as people think it is. but it does exactly what i said, 2 chances of hitting 79 with max str.

 

 

 

and yea sara would probably win in a 1 v 1 no food, pray, pots match, but to be honest when will that chance ever appear unless you're just messing around funning people at duel arena with specific rules?

 

hitting a 50+ max and a 70+ max is a big difference in a dm because lets face it, if you're out of food then you are gonna run with your 100m+ sword. it has alot higher chances of K0'ing someone while sara is maybe better for npc but not as reliable as guthans

Sorry, I'm not into getting scammed.

[Sanctus_Petrus]

I owned a zgs once for 1 week and sold it back. Frankly, I wasn't impresed. Its not a bad wepeon at all. But its price is certainly not justified. I would buy it maybe if it were 5m, and that's a big maybe.

[Joooely]

Armadyl is quite an unpredictable sword, sometimes you can do 0 dmg on a special with it and other times you can 3-hit people 10-20 levels higher then yourself, however that will happen much less often.

 

 

 

To be honest after using an armadyl for about a month I found it's overall DPS wasn't that much more than a whip. I think it's just a good staking sword that can quickly kill people a few times.

 

 

 

When it comes to the cost of the sword compared to how much dmg it does, there is no point in buying it. You are most likely better off just using a whip than an AGS, or any godsword for that matter. :)

[lordkrohn1626]

its a 135m+ weapon. -.- to my perspectives, anything that hits fast with decent strs make the best weapons and godswords brings closers to that subject.

 

 

 

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.

[superway25]

Only 2 of the swords are worth using

 

Zammy, because its cheapest and without the spec theyre all the same

 

Or sara for its useful slayer and duel tournament healing

 

also whip+dfs is great, most situations better and cheaper

[Dragonlordjl]

Something I noticed the other day:

 

 

 

The Zamorak Godsword has a hidden damage amplifier on its special attack. I was slaying Dark Beasts wearing a Neitiznot Helm, Fire Cape, Berserker Ring, Pros top and bottom, Dragon Boots, Barrow Gloves, and a Fury. I killed over 50 dark beasts, and I never hit over 40 with regular attacks (although I did hit up to 40 numerous times). However, on several occasions, when I used the special I hit a 42, 43, and twice I hit a 44. This leads me to believe the ZGS also has a 10% damage boost on its special attack, but it is not listed in the KB.

 

 

 

I was not potted and the only prayer I was using was Protection from Melee, before someone says anything. Also, I know I am only 87 slayer... I was using Wild Pies to kill them, as part of a "slave auction" event my clan has, and the only stats Wild Pies change are Ranged and Slayer (as well as HP but I don't count that.)

 

 

 

But other than sheer KO ability, the DFS/whip combo is far more versatile and in many cases superior. For slayer assignments in which you need to pray (Abby Spectres, Dark Beasts, Black Demons, Spiritual Mages) a godsword would be a better choice because of the +8 prayer mod. Basically, for people who have a lot of spare cash, Godswords are an alternative to buying useless garbage (i.e. rares). Yes, they are overrated, but at least they are helpful, unlike rares.

[stan18]

Dear god, get some metal for that video.

 

 

 

Rofl.

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, i liked the video. The two-hit was nice, i only have bgs :-$

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.
