Level 99 Relic, Mythic, Empyrean, and WoE Weapons

[xiozen]

I say once you hit level 99 (not afterglow) you are rewarded with the upgraded the new higher base damage one.

There ya go, problem solved.

As mentioned here... simple solution: Upgrade your R/M/E weapon to 99 and it automatically receives a direct damage boost consistent with the most recent end game weapons released via the expansion. A simple yet effective solution.
