Positive thought for R/E/M upgrades.

I was shocked (and miffed) like most everyone else when the new super weapon came out and all the rem weapons went from best in show to runner up. Think about it from a different angle and that can change a lot of things.
New delve weapons will make getting the r/e/m much easier to obtain! Soloing Dynamins for currency? Haul in way more for yourself (and to sell) with a super easy delve weapon! Need 30k Alexandrite for that mythic? Way easier now. VW spam for HMP and rift items becomes even easier with a group of delve weapons.
We need to think about what good can be done with these new weapons instead of how we are acting now. Yes the current R/E/M need a boost at 99 to be on par with delve weapons but once that happens things will pick back up.
The items needed to make r/e/m 99 will become much easier to obtain, prices will drop, and more people will have them in the end. Everybody wins!

^ I like the way you think.

Yeah, this is my thought on it as well. The new gear should make it a lot easier to get through older content to catch up, with fewer people. Not sure if you can lowman VW NMs for HMPs, but at least they should go down way faster.

You are totally right, all the new items make DYNAMIS easier, and they also make voidwatch EASIER, the one problem is, you still need procs to cap lights, Sure you can take a party of 6 to kill alot of voidwatch now, but you have a hell of a time getting the obscure procs, that's the majority of the issue.

People are going to want to 99 their empyreans, using their delve weapons, and capping lights is even harder now... Did a couple shouts today/yesterday... the DD who never used to proc are even worse now... and 5/6 of the pops did not achieve capped lights, regardless of the relentless bitching about failing to proc.
