July 4, 200917 yr Your theory is flawed because you don't really know how damage calculations are done, especially with monsters like those in GWD. My theory is, based on experimental evidence, at high defenses, you absolutely NEED attack power and strength, and the increase in efficiency increases not linearly but exponentially with increased weapon strength, making speed less of a factor. Agree. :thumbsup: The general way I usually think of combat is: Attack - how often you'll hit and how well you will take advantage of your... Strength - how much damage you'll do when you don't miss due to your opponents... Defense - how you avoid damage my "dodging" the offense from your enemy's ... Attack - ....... A weapon will add attack bonuses and strength bonuses which are countered by... Armor that sometimes helps defense reduce the damage when you don't completely avoid... A weapon... Double agree! :thumbsup: I was really worried when, on the first page, no one mentioned anything like this :shock: Another thing to take into account is Max Hit. I don't own a godsword, but i see people with my stats and equipment basically doubling my max hit with whip. So let's say your max hit is(just to make the numbers easy) 20 with whip, 40 with godsword. Hell, lets give the whip the advantage by saying they have the same chance of hitting ( which we know they don't because of attack bonuses). Now let's say you have an equal chance of hitting any number between 1 and your max every time you hit. This means 50% of all hits by a godsword would be above your max with a whip... Now i'm no mathematician, but if half of my hits with one weapon are always above all of my hits with another weapon, that kind of cancels out a 2:1 speed difference, and you states that the difference here is 3:2. Now factor in the bonuses, and you'll find the godsword also hits more often. I dunno though maybe i'm just noob... I did just return from a very long break haha My account spent most of the last 10 months "locked"
July 5, 200917 yr Godsword is much better at gws for many reasons - its more accurate against the bosses even though the whip hits 1 more time, it will hit lower + more 0's than the godsword, theres a reasoon why nobody uses whips at gws unless your a noob...end of story I heard at high attack lvls, whip beats the godsword at bandos.
