Her Drakesbane outparsed the party by 65%. When you have 6-8 DDs spamming their strongest WS to kill one worm, yet the drg next to you is soloing that worm, we have a problem. Lazy DDs are bad DDs. If they make excuses for not having at least the next best thing (like a thf wearing 50s daggers because he thought they looked cool, or mnk using afflictors for same reason) then they are no good to me.
I'm sure Atma played a role too. And I'm not saying a LV 50 weapon on a LV 90 character should be worn, no matter how uber the stats might be. My point is 78 gear on a 90 isn't that far of a stretch. It's only a 12 level difference. And again, the stats aren't horrible. I'm not advocating full perle is end all be all. I've never worn full perle myself, but to completely dismiss someone just because of their gear is a little superficial. And if they have good atmas, then it balances things out, in my opinion.
