Godsword Discussion


swordb88

Recommended Posts

As everyone knows, godswords are one of the best weapons in runescape, not only because of thier accuracy and strength bonus, but because of there special abilities. Whether it be freezing an opponent, lowering thier defence, adding to your maximum hit, or regenerating prayer and hitpoints, there is a wide variety of uses and scenarios in which they are favorable.

 

What other specials or abilities or changes in existing ones would be favorable in similar scenarios in there own unique way?

LOL invite? PM me :)

Ummm, what are you asking? What would make them better? Making them 1-handed and giving them a faster attack speed, and balance it by lowering their stats somewhat...oh wait...

You should be able to put godswords in your quiver and be able to shoot them with the handcannon, every shot, their special automatically activates.

Oh, you are insinuating chaotic weapons, aren't you ? :P

 

Now that was subtle.

Whip, CR, CLS; all of them are better in almost any situation because the faster attack speed means more dps and the use of the offhand slot gives even more bonuses. Really the only situation I can think of where gs are useful is pking with an ags as both the primary and spec weapon, but that's pretty limited.

Actually, Godswords can be useful to lower levels, as when your attacking stuff with high defense, the higher accuracy and strength bonus makes it more useful then a whip. But yeah, godswords really aren't that useful, and are definitely NOT the preferred weapon of choice for high levels.

my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them me

Buying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.

Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:

your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupine

The only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

In case you didn't notice, godswords fell horribly in price because Chaotic weaponry is way better.

 

 

The chaotic maul is superior to godswords in comparison so for any serious players, the maul would be the best choice

for high hits which belonged to the godswords prior to dungeoneering.

Maul reins supreme at Saradomin, CLS at Bandos, Rapier at Daggonth Kings, and CCBow and Rapier/CLS at TDs. I really can't think of a place that godswords are needed anymore other than specing corp.

To be honest, everyone should buy a BGS.

 

Nex is going to be harder than Corp. That means there is a fair chance he will have MORE DEFENCE than corp, and maybe even a damage reducer for certain weaponry LIKE CORP, to render D Claws useless to prevent massing.

 

I don't understand WHY THEN that no one is buying up BGS's to use as a cheap non-degrading defence lowering spec wep to take on Nex.

BGS - Corp, poor man's godsword (newbs think it's good)

ZGS - no use anymore; price held up by Bandos to avoid becoming cheapest godsword; no supply but no demand

SGS - a slayer spec weapon, but not even that good so declining in use

AGS - Outdated KO weapon, claws ruined it. Used for +1 worlds because rushers don't want to lose anything

Isn't ZGS still useful at Zammy GW for the spec?

 

But frankly yeah, for high level players they're obsolete. Interesting idea about the new boss... however, I know with corp if you have more money to spend it's recommended that you use statius warhammer.

 

Incidentally, I think there's a small possibility that weapon and the other PVP weapons and armour will stop being degradeable. At least the armour; think about it, this new armour is supposed to surpass pretty much every other defensive item in the game, right? Including PVP. So, gear that degrades in an hour vs.... depends on the catch on the new boss armour tbh. Probably a catch of some sort, positive there'll be one for the bow.

 

Woops, sorry for the random tangent there. Yes, it is possible the BGS will rise in price due to the new boss, but I doubt it'll be effective. Maybe the boss will restore it's defense, in say switching from different modes if it has any, or maybe damaging it won't be much of an issue when your actually in a position to damage it; rather, the boss mechanics will play a larger defensive role.

I think you mean saradomin GW? And no, a high damaging spec is better...running away isn't that hard, it's not worth loosing that much damage for a few clicks saving spec.

The bgs special is relative to how much you hit. Most of the time, you won't be hitting at all. The 10% strength is hardly significant that it shouldn't even be

mentioned. The 100% reduction is a huge disadvantage for a special that relies entirely on luck. It's a very terrible weapon for pretty much anywhere and

serious corp'ers would want to use a Statius warhammer spec instead. I could see the bgs having some merit towards mid levels who are too lazy to

get 80 dungeoning and attack. Other then that, it's just a signature noob weapon that nobody really uses.

Chaotics made Godswords obsolete sadly. Although I would buy up a BGS or two since they are fairly cheap atm, great spec weapon for Corp so I hear.

Yep bgs is most useful godsword (the only useful one)

 

And no, the swh isn't cost-effective for 4-6 man corp.

If there is a damage reducer like the corp (No non-spear weapons,) then all offensive specs fail. Then, really, the best thing to do would be to try and use a defence reducing spec, instead of just clawing and failing most of the time.

 

And also I never suggested to ONLY use the BGS. When you go to the corp, you spec with BGS then switch to a spear.

 

Plus, if every person who wants to do Nex wanted to get a SWH, then they would be unbuyable and have a street of like 50m.

godswords are a epic weapon in waiting...

 

put it bluntly, what has the highest stats of any weapon b4 the godswords? whip would be hgh up.

but once godswords broke though that, stronger weapons and been comeing, claws, ss, chaotic, EE/EEE, korasi sword and pvp weapons.

 

gs may be a horrible weapon now... and not the best when they came out... but without them we would probably still be at whips lol. something had to be the first dident it?

 

but besdies that, thay surve only to be as a way to make money at godwars. although you cant deny some advanatged it has, reletively strong and cheap. 8 prayer bonous and sometimes-usefull specs.

 

imo, some of the new drops comeing out from this nex should be godsword enhancers.

depending on how good thay are (and if thay are real :P), we could see them become usefull for a long time (until the next equivilent of chaotic comes XD)

I see no need in devaluing the dungeoneering rewards by adding godsword enhancers. Godswords still have their niches and as mentioned earlier, a viable option for low level players who know no better.

They're still some of the best weapons, they're just outperformed by claws, chaotics, eee, whip etc. Still a top 10.

Dragon drops: 82 (2 claws)

Dagannoth kings drops: 73

Barrows item count: 51

GWD drops: 54 (5 hilts: 1x bandos, 3x saradomin, 1x zamorak)

Whips: 4

Sigils: 1x spectral (FFA), 1x arcane (FFA)

1. Takes ages to get a Chaotic Weapon, whereas with godswords the only time spent is on getting the cash and buying it (you can resell and reclaim your geepees)

2. Funny how i haven't seen anyone CLS rushing recently, but i'm pretty much always getting 1 item AGS rushed

3. No special attacks, therefore no bonuses at all past the decent stats

 

Yes, a lot of situations are unsuited for godswords, that doesn't make them crap and redundent... It makes them a [bleep]ing weapon. There are plenty of situations where i would rather use a DDS than a Dragon Scimitar, that doesn't make the scimitar instantly [cabbage]ty and not worth having.
