New weapons with higher base damage then relics

[HimuraKenshyn]

In almost all the cases you mentions peeps would still do the kings, for years I baseline on them, your gear didn't become obsolete over night, you upgraded a piece you may have gotten something for a ws or tp phase none of them had you completely tossing all your stuff and starting over pretty much.

You use to have to work at gearing and make hard choices now its handed to you on a silver platter....
