Where is BGS better than Whip + Defender?

Featured Replies

The title says it all... I just got my first godsword, and I need to know when's best to use it.

 

 

 

Particularly, are there high-level slayer creatures I should use it on (I have 85 Slayer, and slay regularly)?

 

 

 

Obviously it would be better for monster-hunting at GWD and elsewhere. Should I use it on Bork? Is there anything else that I should use it on?

Waterfiends are one monster. But if you have a Sara Sword or Zamorak Spear it beats it.

 

 

 

If you're trying to get on a RSOF Bandos team you most likely will need it. But most places the speed and strength of the whip is better then the strong, yet slow, BGS.

I don't know much about pking... but I think it can be used as a "finisher"?

Thanks for the comment. I do have Zammy Spear so I'll keep using that there at Waterfiends.

 

 

 

I've heard Gargoyles, Black Demons, and Abbysal Demons are all places I should consider the Godsword first. Comments? Others?

Well i use a whip on Gargs and Abbys, and it does just fine. And compared to a GS i would get faster kills. You have slightly lower levels, but it shouldn't matter all that much.

 

 

 

As for B Demons if you cannon you won't have to worry about it. The only GS i would use on task is the SGS, but thats just because of its special.

Well, BGS is a slow weapon, so obviously Whip + Def beats it when it comes to training ( When i say training i mean speed trainig). BGS beats Whip + Def when you wish to have fun. When i have a GS i used it everywhere instead of Whip + Def because i'm one of those noobs who enjoy 2-hitting things. I enjoy high hits. But BGs works best when it comes to GWD and PKing.

Having been an owner of all the godswords at one time or another, I'd have to say that Whip + defender pretty much beats the Godsword in almost every aspect.

 

 

 

Other than Bandos at Godwars.

 

 

 

Best Godsword of course, for slayer, would be the Saradomin Godsword. I don't know your finances, but it's certainly worth saving for. The special really comes in handy, with a bunyip/unicorn you're looking @ never using food.

 

 

 

Godsword's are fun, but I think it'd be better to build armours in your bank, like Bandos/Armadyl/DFS (etc) prior to buying a Godsword for using it at a couple of bosses.

 

 

 

Course, just my opinion.

Thanks for your input. Duly noted, I may sell back after BGS rises again and then buy some armour instead. Although I dearly want to try GWD.
