In my opinion, a pure using the Bandos Godsword is extremely ineffective.
Not to mention, you will gain extra combat levels from the higher attack level.
My combat level will be about 80 with 99 mage, range, strength and 75 attack. That is maxed out. My goals at the moment are 75 attack and 90+ Strength which is 77 Combat. While pking, I won't just use the BGS, I will more than likely stake a whip for primary attack and KO with the BGS. When I have almost reached level 76 Attack I will then change to another decent weapon to use as my primary.
As for your opinion about the D Claws, you would be 73 combat with 60 attack and 99 strength. I see no loss with a barely higher combat level.
It costs about the same as Dragon Claws
No it doesn't.. Dragon Claws are 36Mil and rising, BGS is 24Mill and falling.
and its special is not even on par with that of the Dragon Dagger.
99 Strength Scenarios
D-Claws: Max of 589
AGS: Max of 602
BGS: 530
~ Though the D-Claws may have a higher spec than the BGS, with profits, I could easily advance to the AGS, surpassing the D-Claws spec.
~ Pures go through stages of purity. My stages of evolution have changed due to your post, I have decided to:
At 60 attack I will try PVPing with the D-Claws, and after a couple days of rushing with the claws, I will more than likely advance to 70 attack and convert to the Whip, try a bit of pking, and then back to training for my ultimate goal, the BGS.
