Godsword Vs. Whip

[Owned_Nex]

The GS is more of a K0 weapon. A person can easily heal 40hp in the time you hit again. Sure, you could hit harder, but hitting a good 80+ damage hit twice is pretty much impossible. Its good in conjunction with a whip.

[Ryhzuo]

I think what a lot of people are forgetting is the KO potential of the Godsword. I for training at Giant spiders because if I super pot I have a reasonable chance of hitting a 50. With a whip, I hit 23, 22, and then waste the next hit with a 5. The max health of whatever you are fighting is also important.

 

 

 

That being said, I still prefer a whip, because I like wearing a defender.

[tigershelby2]

personally i have never used either wep since im f2p, but i will base my arguements on what i know of the 2 weapons. the godsword get hit amazingly high but at a slow pace. a whip hits pretty decent at a very fast pace. what i have learned from f2p is that a skimmy beats a 2h every time because the skimmy/whip could hit lets say a 15 and a 15 in the same time the 2h/godsword could hit a 25. added to the fact you wont always hit high with the godsword or whip for that matter. so without considering the money and status symbole factors i would say the whip would be better

The point of the OP was that runescape is about having fun (which is true). The OP has more fun with a gs, so he uses one...you can't really argue against that.

 

 

 

To those who are really concerned about the extra one or two prayer pot doses a gs will save you, the time saved by using a whip is certainly worth the cost of an extra prayer pot.

 

 

 

Godsword is better in training strength than the whip.

 

 

 

and inferior to the sara sword ;)

[wozfe]

I only use my SGS when constantly praying (Bork, GWD, bloodveld, dark beasts etc) because of its prayer bonus, and at waterfiends. Otherwise I use my whip because its speed advantage causes more impact than the power advantage of the godswords. The accuracy advantage only really helps against high level enemies.

 

 

 

Sure, it's more exciting to hit high, but it's more frustrating to wait ages between the attacks, in my opinion.

 

 

 

Though, the saradomin sword is a weapon i really don't like. It's just a two-handed whip with a crush option, so I see no situation where it's useful, except at waterfiends. The godsword actually has a few advantages over the whip.

 

 

 

I usually train strength whenever I use my SGS and when using whip, I usually fight with the controlled attack style.

[llamster]

 

However, even in pvp a whip is going to vastly outpace a gs just due to weapon speed. Godswords are basically only good for boss monsters and specs.

 

 

 

You do realize that the reason godswords are good against bosses is their high defence, right? The GWD bosses' defence are paper compared to a high-level player in tanking gear.

 

 

 

Whip is still better, according to compfreak. But if whip>gs in PvP then whip>gs in boss hunting.

[Dire_Wolf]

This might seem as a irrelevant post but it's not and neither is the picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Abyssal Whip> is the speedy bird

 

Godsword>The wolf who fails

 

 

 

After 300 solo bandos i learned Abyssal whip+Rune defender works if not better than Godsword, but just as good.

 

 

 

Godsword>Cost 19m.

 

 

 

Speed>Power

[llamster]

Speed>Power

 

 

 

That's an idiotic thing to say; are bronze darts better than dragonstone bolts? Speed and power are the two of the three factors determining DPS (accuracy is the third), one is not better than the other except for specific situations like PvP, giant mole and meleeing saradomin godwars.

Aha my bad. Well let me say that again:

 

 

 

Accuracy+Speed>Damage+Accuracy.

 

 

 

In this case Godsword is "most accurate" (But to be honest i have had bad experience with it), but despite how accurate a weapon is, if it's speed is slow then it has a disadvantage.

 

 

 

You land nearly two hits with whip compared to Godsword, and chance that Godsword hits 50+ damage is same as hitting under 10 damage with it.

 

 

 

Either way whip beats Godsword.

[llamster]

^You missed my point. Damage, accuracy, and speed; one of them cannot be better than the other. It is the combination of the three that is important. If bronze darts had the same accuracy as dragonstone bolts would they be better?

[killerbeer0]

Yes.

[Dire_Wolf]

No i did get your point.

 

 

 

Whip has great speed+ good accuracy (That's a combination)

 

Godsword has accuracy and damage

 

 

 

So you see Whip wins.

 

 

 

As for darts, your like comparing bronze sword to a godsword when you ask that question.

 

 

 

There is rune darts...and if you want we can meet ingame and duel with ammos and see whos best?

 

 

 

I might even bring a other type of ammo that has what i said is best:

 

 

 

Accuracy+Speed.

If bronze darts had the same accuracy as dragon bolts, then it'd be accuracy+speed versus damage+accuracy. According to your logic then bronze darts would be superior to dragon. Accuracy+speed is not better than damage+speed unless you specify exactly how fast the first one is and how strong the second one is. And then you'd use those factors to determine the DPS, and then figure out which is better.

I rather not discuss it, care to test it at duel arena?

This isn't a practical discussion, it's a logical discussion. You're saying that as long as two weapons are comparable accuracy; then if one of them is faster but weaker and the other is slower but stronger, the first weapon is superior.

 

 

 

Whip>Godsword not because speed+accuracy>damage+accuracy, but because 6 speed+101 slash attack+87 strength> 4 speed+132 slash attack+132 strength.

Thats a good point and i agree.

 

 

 

But i was excited testing Dragongem bolts against Bronze dart/another ammo.

[walka92]

whip is much better exp/hr than godsword. when i train melee i get 115k/hr average with whip/ss, yet average 95k an hour with godsword.

[redfishswim]

as a main weapon that i would use for most slayer task/pvm the whip by far outshines the gs as the weapon of chioce.a simple calcuation on damage per hour settle that but the gs is about more then at.status is it main quialty,look at my shiney ags says u by weilding iit. also i must not be overlook the ko potental of the gs in pvp battle (as has beeen said b4) o heal from a 70+ hit is much harder to do then a 40+ one.

 

meself i'm a dfs/whip man cos i like a high defence man beause in long run it better to count on armor and grind em down then w8 for the luck spec that only kickin a couple time a battle.

 

and btw at the aberrant spectors i use my faldor3 shield ok u lose a +1 prayer to the gs but once a day u do get a full prayer restore \

A Godsword without the spec deals damage at a slower rate compared to a whip + rune defender. Calculate the weapon speed, strength bonus, accuracy and it will add up. The only 2 advantages (excluding looking nice with a sword that is basically the size of your upper body) that a Godsword has over the whip is the KO potential and the special attack. While training slayer, whip is better than godsword in almost every way. Godsword is better for pvp because of the ability to wipe out half a person's hp in 1 hit not allowing them to heal thus resulting in a faster kill.

It all depends. Whip + GS is better then GS.

[Dire_Wolf]

Godswords is what they are called, but do they have what it takes for them to have such a name? NO.

 

 

 

If their speed was same as Abyssal whip, then they would be worthy of their name but they are not. I know, making it's speed same as Abyssal whip would make it overpowered, but so what? It's GOD-sword.

 

 

 

Either way i don't care i am good with my whip.

[Inuashakent]

Godsword is better in training strength than the whip.

 

Real men train controlled.

 

Or an SS. Godswords fail in comparison, unless you need super high accuracy. :roll:

Obviously it is. You are comparing 2 weapons to 1. :roll:
