Now that the development team has ascertained that Empyrean weaponskills will be unlockable by getting WoE weapons to 99, it leaves one question.

Are the WoE weapons themselves getting a damage bonus similar to their R/M/E counterparts?

WoE weapons on the whole possess nowhere near the same amount of damage potential as Empyrean weapons due to stat increases and aftermath. However, WoE weapons have had very similar damage ratings compared to them, such as 99 Brunello being only 5 base damage less than 99 Almace.

I feel that people who cannot obtain the Heavy Metal/Riftcinder for a 99 Empyrean weapon and have made a level 99 WoE weapon will not benefit from the proposed change to WoE weapons.

As a request, I would propose that WoE weapons receive a damage/stat bonus that keeps them powerful weapons, yet relatively weaker than Empyrean weapons as they have been in the past.

Thank you for reading.
