Pros: 

 

-Best 60 att "Crush" attack style weapon.

-Viable for certain bosses both on pures and mains. Limited results at the moment, we will find out though.

-50% spec lowers opponents defence by 30% (1 def cap it's kind of redundant, but in other use can be useful)

-Can hit high and is a one-handed weapon

-Requirements to wield and obtain are relatively low. (60 att + 100% Shayzien favor. 20 def armour to make it efficient?)

-Faster than godswords (can hit three times in the same time a godsword hits twice)

 

Cons:

 

-Most likely will not become a viable prep item. There are better weapons than it and the special attack becomes quite useless in fights with 1 def cap.

 

-Expect high price for it in the beginning.

 

-50% damage increase when speccing compared to ags which is better ("Like all godswords, the Armadyl godsword has a special attack, The Judgment which deals damage with a 37.5% ( 125% multiplied by the hidden 110% every godsword possesses) higher maximum hit than a normal attack, using 50% of the special attack bar.")

 

Max hit Armadyl godsword = 70 50% *

Max hit DWH = 63 50% (@bkg) *

 

 

 

*1 def max gear

tl;dr - For pures it will not be that significant of an item, mostly just for certain PvM fights. For 60 att fights it can be useful, but the ags remains better if you have access to it.

 

 

If someone spots mistakes or has some specifications to add let me know. This is based on brief research.

It's a 37.5% dmg increase for the Armadyl godsword not 125%. =)

 

Max hit Armadyl godsword = 70

Max hit DWH (mith. defender) = 65-66

[Thanos]

Might be a pretty decent for 60 attacks theoretically in preps because of it's accuracy, but dscims are better so...probably just a niche PVM item (especially for bossing/corp).

[Lolsor]

Still looks decent

I think you need the armour to not get raped by the new lizardmen attack if you want to get one yourself

[Coggy]

Decent for 60 attackers but can't see it being a good prep item.
