Godswords- Outdated?


Ambler

Recommended Posts

Are the Godswords outdated? When you think about it- they have been outclassed by other items:

 

Dragon Claws > AGS? Faster, a more damaging spec, and what? 50m cheaper?

 

Elite Enchanted Excalibur (EEE)/ Soul split > SGS? - EEE isnt damage based, and gives a defense boost, you can flash soul split to heal very effictivly

 

ZGS- It still has its uses at Sara GWD i guess- but you're better off barraging anywhere else.

 

BGS- The cheapest Godsword (at time of writing) and has yet to be outclassed by a non-degradable wep: It's helpful at Corp, and can take a chunk out of people's defense in PVP! It is outclassed by the Statius Warhammer, but you really want to pay 10m every gwd trip?

 

Open to disscussion- what could come in the future and outclass the EEE, Dclaws etc! Remember: We still have lots of dragon weapons to be made, so take that into consideration!

 

If there is already a topic for this, then sorry- didn't see one!

 

I hope to see some opionions on this- and its a good idea not to start flame wars!

Its cheap for a specific reason, because there is no absolute use for the special. The statius warhammer is far more effective since the drain

is only 35% AND you also get 25% more damage PER HIT which is superior to the BGS warstrike which only does 10% more damage and the

effect is damage based. Also, you forgot that once you used your special, they can just switch to a different weapon until the special refills

which will take a pretty long time for the hammer to degrade completely. :P

 

I personally think godswords are done with. The only players buying them are mid lvl 120-30s with a low dungeonerring level.

Once dungeonerring gets more popular, they'll be just like d2hs or other aesthetic items today.

the maul only has crush options remember- and it's two handed, slow and wont do much damage to dragons- might not nail everything ;)

Has a godsword ever been a good weapon apart from it's special? don't think so.

 

In any case, AGS is still useful for edge pking. BGS has it's uses in 4-8 man corping.

Godswords are exactly like that too. Which side are you arguing? :mellow:

I always thought claws would be better.

 

Better spec, and you can do back to back specs very, very fast.

 

By comarpison, you hit one spec with AGS, and even if they were half asleep they would probably have time to food combo.

O.O

Umm, it's not really hard not to get KO'd when you see a guy using a scimitar, and they'll be useless after they've used their specs. AGS is definitely the better option(also there's a method of ignoring claw spec damage).

Outdated for what, exactly?

 

Right from their introduction they weren't useful, outside of a handful of situations.

 

When they were made, summoning, curses, claws, and (i think) diaries weren't out yet, so no Bunyip/unicorns, Soul Split, and good alternate specs were avaliable.

 

Back then AGS was the strongest spec weapon. The next best was DDS (inaccurate as hell) and the D Hally (only good on big monsters, not Pvp)

SGS was the best healing item

ZGS was the best....ummm...yyeeaa...

BGS was a decent spec and the the only reliable Defense draining weapon.

 

They were useful when they came out for their specs. (other than ZGS :rolleyes: ). But like many other items, time has drained their usefulness.

Also think that without Extremes/Turmoil, the stats of weapons mattered much more, since you actually needed the accuracy to hit bosses like Grarrdor with. So they were the best for bosses at the time.

Wasn't there going to be update for godswords this month? Wonder what it does and how it effects the swords. For me there is no good reason to use gs since I just use a combo of whip/cls/ee/buny/claws though I still occasionally borrow zgs for sgwd.

Based on what Mod French said at a event last year, I believe a Chuck Norris Godsword will come out within the next century.

 

 

:) :)

 

 

Cool post, I dig it very much. :P

 

 

And to contribute something in to this topic... maybe?

 

In my eyes, they(it) were outdated the second someone had the ability to summon a buniyp.

Outdated as in regular training. Slayer, etc.

 

I am not sure about the boss monsters, as I have not been interested in killing them for quite some time now.

Yeah, my knowledge in that area is very sketchy.

The CLS and rapier...

 

Good prediction ;)

 

In some places, the Chaotic weapons are not useful because they provide too little benefit to be worth the money. For example, at Pest Control, I got flammed quite a few times for using a chaotic weapon. Looking back, it WAS a waste of money, as a Godsword or even a whip would've done just as well.

godswords where ment to be like boss hunting weapons, 8 prayer bonous, high accuracy, usefull specs.

for the goal of training, until chaotic rapiure, whip > everything > everything agin (ok not for str. but overall its better)

 

ya know what i think, godswords are not too weak. everything else to is too strong.

I think godswords are still useful in some situations, just that there are less of those situations now. AGS is still very useful while pking. SGS is useful where familiars are not allowed, like fight caves or barrows. ZGS is useful for sara gwd and BGS is useful for bosses with quite high defence.

Ags has a lot more potential to hit and when it does its powerful. Ags is by far better than claws in pvp. Sgs is good for players who cant spend 180m on soulsplit and don't have the skills for an EE or EEE and Bgs is used so much for pking. Zgs is the only one that I see not used daily.

 

Ags and Bgs are used by pkers more often than claws tbh.

Old news is old. Godswords has been outdated since Dungeoneering

Well, i actually looked it up and it turns out kings ransom was released a month before god wars dungeon, making the case that because prayer use became bearable, whip has always been the better weapon for all the boss monsters, meaning that godswords have been outdated since their release- they've always been special weapons, and more or less second rate at that.

Yup. Many items go out of date eventually, although some have been around and the best for a long time (like the whip). Most of the time though, something better comes along.

 

Pretty much sums it all up.

Maybe it's just me, but I do ffa Bandos Godwars sometimes and I find that my BGS + Claws works better then my friends Whip, defender and Claws. We both use peity and extreme pots with claws as our spec weapon. Godswords accuracy still come into play on the higher defense bosses.

PM me in game anytime

 

It's a lot easier then that for an idiot to sound smart on the internet.

 

That's exactly what you're doing right now... just saying.
