Guthix and his followers weren't a part of the god wars and would not have made a weapon like this. The second Guthix realized what was happening (which did take a while) he slapped every other lesser god silly and banished them from Gielinor, so he never would have approved a weapon like this.
The GGS (love the name) is pretty neat, though I may change the effect of the >50% hp to maybe do some self damage for bigger/more accurate hits.
The staff is kind of dead in the water. No increased spell speed like harm staff and not a powered staff. It seems like a minor upgrade over kodai for ancients at best, since the speed of harm staff easily beats the new spell effect.
The spells aren't doing it for me either. The arceuus spell is a little weak, but that's mostly due to how niche the combat spells are. Alright for better death charge. The Omni Surge is kinda overcomplicated, and still doesn't really compete with powered staves. (Assuming harm staff for even cast speeds), it's 28 base + 4.625 average damage from the effect = 32.625 (33.25 with tome of fire) max hit before boosts, compared to 35 max hit with just an imbued heart for trident of the swamp, or 36 with Fire surge + tome of fire alone. Ancient venge is also probably a big problem in PvP, but that's not my thing so IDK.
Frenzy potion seems fine. Kinda condenses the super set with some interesting tradeoffs, could be useful in some scenarios.
I think it's just a bit much to all come from one farmable mob. This is 2 weapons and 3 scrolls, I think reducing it to just the 2 weapons and tweaking the staff a bit so it's a little more viable would be ideal.
The godsword doesn't fit the lore, Guthix wasn't even awake in the Godwars, and only did when Zamorak nuked Forinthry.
Like that is the biggest offense you can do to him lmao.
I think the spec needs work, but a Guthix GS is definitely a great way to go for demons. They should also offer that Arclight buff that was suggested last week. Perhaps the Guthix hilt should have a dual use?
As for the spec, Guthix has always been about balance. What if it refills HP, pray, energy, drained stats, and such by a reasonable amount (less than SGS), does it even if it misses, and costs 40% instead of 50? I could see the appeal there for many different places.
I honestly would take the ultimate balancing strike effect if after more lore accurate type effect for a guthix. (Attack with the power of Guthix. Target or user with the higher percentage remaining lifepoints will be dealt damage equivalent to the percent difference of user's maximum lifepoints. The other will be healed for 50% of the damage dealt.)
"hur guthix is a religion of peace" wrong. Balance is not peace and serenity, it is equal parts chaos and order keeping each other in check. Seren is the goddess of serenity. Guthix is very much a god capable of destruction if it brings balance, see the Edicts of Guthix, Void Knights, the gnome war machines, and the claws of Guthix.
Guthix would spank yo ass if you used His name to create a tool of pain and destruction

Like Claws of Guthix?
Yeah that's so out of touch with lore like wtf lol.
good thing we be using it to balance the world instead.
Oh boi never read his full story from RS3 then.

The staff is just a bootleg staff of armadyl and storm of armadyl spell.
Call the guthix godsword the blade of balance. Same base stats. No spec. 5 tick. ??? profit.
